Are you looking to invest in a brand new roof or repair your current one? If this is the case, you may have doubts about the best materials, benefits, and costs.
Talking to our reliable roofing contractors can help you decide if asphalt shingle roofs are the most suitable option for your Edmonton home.
What Is an Asphalt Shingle Roof?
Asphalt shingle roofs are made out of a mix of materials like asphalt, ceramic granules, and fibreglass and they come in a variety of patterns, including 3D, dimensional and luxury shingles. Your choice will depend on the aesthetics you want, your preferences in terms of maintenance, and your budget.
Asphalt shingle roofs are popularly used for both residential and commercial properties, although they are by no means the only choice. If you’re considering an asphalt shingle roof for your new home or business property, please call High Roofing for assistance.
Advantages of Asphalt Shingle Roofs
With so many materials, including slate, concrete, metal, and tile, why should you consider asphalt?
Affordable
Affordable roofing materials like asphalt shingles can cut down your property’s construction costs. Asphalt shingle roofs are the most economical choice for most residential and commercial properties in Edmonton.
Effective
You wouldn’t like to invest in a roofing material that doesn’t do its job, no matter how inexpensive it is. Asphalt shingle roofs do an effective job of keeping you and your possessions safe and dry by standing up to the weather elements.
You Can Replace Individual Shingles
If individual shingles are damaged due to storms or fallen tree branches, they can be removed and replaced with new ones. This option may not be available with some materials such as metal roofs.
On the other hand, they can be easily damaged during storms and roughly last for about 20 years, whereas metal roofs last for over 50 years.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Maintenance Tips
No roof (no matter how well installed) can stand the test of time if not well-maintained. A poorly maintained roof will require repairs and quite likely a full replacement.
Trim Tree Branches
Clip tree branches that are near or hanging onto your roof.
Regular Inspections
Contact professionals to inspect your roof to spot existing and potential issues that could cause problems. Our reliable roofers in Edmonton ensure that the problems are addressed before they turn into massive repairs.
Roof Cleaning
Clean the roof thoroughly, including shingles, vents, flashings, solar panels, and ventilation. Roof cleaning is not a DIY job and should preferably be done by experienced professionals who will remove all debris that can cause damage.
