Choosing the next shingle material for your next project can be difficult. There are many aspects to consider including cost, maintenance needs, and longevity of the product.  Many homeowners often think they have to go with the roofing material that they are replacing.  That simple is not true.  You can often choose from many other finishes including asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles can be a great option for those looking for an affordable, durable solution to their roofing needs.

 

Lasting Performance

Asphalt shingles can offer the durability and performance homeowners want in roofing shingles.  It is not only less prone to damage from high winds and extreme weather but also has excellent fire resistance.  Many also feature UV blockers making them less susceptible to damage from the sun.
