Why are Shingles so popular in Residential Roofing

A roof that has been cleaned and is ready for the installation of new shingles.The most popular shingles around the United States are without a doubt the asphalt shingles. Residential roofing is full of asphalt shingles. There are many reasons why that is the case. Most prominent one is, of course, the price. Low costs of this material are why many owners decide to go for this option. Not only that you will be paying less for the material but the installation too. Easy installation is the reason why it is cheaper than on example slate roofing. However, do not run into the decision. If you are thinking about implementing asphalt shingles, you should know that they have a lot of drawbacks as well. As roof installment is one of the biggest investments that a homeowner will meet with, you should be well informed on every type of material there is. Today, we are going to cover everything you need to know about the asphalt shingles. So, keep reading and pick the best for yourself.

Advantages Of Shingle Roofing

As we already said, Asphalt shingles are one of the most affordable ones on the market. If you decide to go for them, you will be paying at least half of what you would pay for the slate tiles. Another plus they have is that they work well on a steeply sloped structures.  Many roofers have problems with this and asphalt shingles prevent this from being a major issue. They adapt easily to a variety of applications. Overall, asphalt shingles are very easy to work with because the shingles are lightweight and compatible with most roof types. They also come in many different colors and textures. Contractors have no problem fitting them, fastening and cutting them. Easy installation is why many owners pick these; it is done in no time. These shingles don’t require accessories for the roof edges, chimney or vent flashings. These are the places where roof leaks may appear, and asphalt shingles do not need additional protection. While slate suffers when people walk on it, asphalt has no problem with some weight on it. It will not break or damage due to walking. Another plus they possess is that they are fireproof.

Disadvantages of Shingle Roofing

However, a low price is explainable. Asphalt shingles are prone to a lot of things.  First of all, powerful winds will not pull only one shingle, but your entire roof could be blown away easily. Like that is not enough, the heat in the summer will cause asphalt to deteriorate and get damage. This could lead to leaking. While it is the cheapest, asphalt shingles are very long lasting. The slate will last you for 100 years and asphalt roofing system on average 15 to 35 years. That is nothing compared to slate, metal, and even wood. Many materials can outlive the asphalt roofing system. It might seem like a cheap option, but as you can see, you will need a lot of money for constant repairs. Every storm can be crucial for your roof and therefore for your belongings and your family.
