4 Reasons To Get An Asphalt Shingle Roof

16 December 2022 by Leslie Turner

Roofs that are shingled with asphalt shingles are relatively common. There are several reasons for that. If you are thinking about getting a new roof and are considering asphalt shingles, you might want to know some of them. 

Affordable

One reason that shingle roofs are common is that they are affordable. On the scale of costs for roofing materials, asphalt shingles are the least expensive option. If you need to replace your entire roof, the fact that they are so affordable can make it easier for you to afford a new roof. 

Easy Repairs

Asphalt shingle roofs can be very easy to repair, especially if the problem is missing or lost shingles. The new shingles can just be slid into place where the old ones used to be. That's because the shingles come as a single unit, so replacing a single shingle doesn't mean you have to strip the roof to replace that damaged shingle. The roofer may need to remove some of the other shingles in the area to make a complete repair. 

Roofers

Some kinds of roofing materials need to have certified roofers to work with them. However, that isn't an issue with asphalt shingles. Any roofer can install a shingle roof, so you should have no problems finding a contractor that can do the job for you. You can also check into the experience level of the roofing company so you have the peace of mind that working with an experienced professional can give you. 

Ease of Installation

Asphalt shingle roofs are pretty easy to install. The contractor will start with the lowest row of shingles and nail them to the roof. Then, the roofing contractor will move up to the next row. Each row will overlap the row below it, and the shingles will alternate so that there are no vertical lines that could let water under the shingles and into your house to cause damage to your home. That ease of installation also means it won't take long for the roofer to install your roof. 

An asphalt shingle roof can be a good choice for your house if you need a new roof. Talk to your roofing contractor to see what they recommend for your house and how quickly they can get a new asphalt shingle roof up on your house for you. There are a lot of benefits to getting one of these roofs, and you can be very satisfied with one on your roof.
