Residential Roofing Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best type of roof for a home?
Every year asphalt shingles still rank high with roofers and homeowners alike as the best roofing material for most homes. While metal roofing is becoming popular among homeowners, and while tile is popular in warmer climates, most homes still rely on asphalt shingles, whether they are traditional 3-tab shingles or architectural shingles. Asphalt shingles are durable and dependable — they last on an average about 25 years — and they are less expensive and easy to install. You will find them in a variety of colors and styles.
What are architectural shingles?
Architectural shingles, also known as dimensional shingles, are a type of asphalt shingle that is constructed of multiple layers of asphalt, making them thicker, more durable, and long-lasting. This type of construction provides better resistance to wind and weather damager.
What is the best residential roofing shingle?
Most residential roofs will have either standard 3-tab or architectural asphalt shingles. Generally, the architectural shingle will be a little more durable than 3-tab shingles because they are thicker. If you live in the Houston metro area, hail is a serious problem, and you might want to consider impact resistant shingles. These are thick shingles specifically designed to resist the impact of hail. These shingles cost a little more to install than the standard 3-tab shingles, but you can often get discounts from your insurance company for having them installed, which will offset the increased cost.
What is the life expectancy of a 30 year shingle?
30-year shingles are designed to last for 30 years, however, their actual life is many times closer to 25 years, depending on various factors like installation quality, weather conditions, and maintenance.
