Benefits of Asphalt Roofing

September 14th, 2010

Do you live in a neighborhood where asphalt shingles are the standard roofing material? Asphalt shingles are, in fact, the most popular roofing material in the country. This can be attributed to the material’s many benefits, from its low cost to its good looks. Let’s examine the reasons asphalt shingle roofing likely covers your home:

Industry accepted. Roofing contractors are very familiar with asphalt shingle roof installation and repair. Homeowners, in turn, have become accustomed to having it installed.

Ease of installation. Experienced roofing contractors can typically install an entire roof in one day.

Easy to repair. A slightly damaged roof can most often be repaired by replacing compromised, individual shingles.

Stylish. Color varieties are available to suit many individual tastes.

Durable. The average lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof is 20 years. However, it is not uncommon to see longer warranties provided by some manufacturers. This roofing material is often engineered to be fire and hail-damage resistant.


To ensure the success of your next asphalt shingle roofing project, make sure you select a qualified and experienced roofing contractor. You can get the most of a roof when installed correctly; manufacturers may not honor their warranties unless your roof is professionally installed.
