Asphalt Shingle Roofing is one of the most common types of roofing used today by both homeowners and roofers. Asphalt shingle roofing is wildly popular in residential areas due to its affordability and easy installation.
Asphalt shingle roofing is very cost effective and eco friendly. It is extremely low maintenance and can be walked on without threat of being damaged, unlike other roofing options. Asphalt shingle roofing has a vast range of options in terms of price, color, and size depending on what you are looking for. It is also one of the easiest roofing options to install and doesn’t require any special accessories to accommodate chimneys or unique roof edges.
Asphalt shingle roofing cannot handle harsh weather conditions the way tile roofing can. Drastic winds will easily knock off and destroy shingle roofing. Asphalt shingle roofing should only be used for structures with roofs angled enough to shed water into gutters with gravity alone because of this it should not be used for flat roofed structures. Asphalt shingle roofing has one of the shortest life expectancies with 20-30 years, so although affordable, it will not last as long as other roofing options.
