Residential Roofing Series: Asphalt Shingles

Any material that’s been used in America since 1901 has got to have many great things going for it to have endured the test of time. Well, the truth is that the “greatness” of this enduring roofing material lies in its simplicity. Dynamic Roofing Concepts takes a look at the unique features and benefits of asphalt shingles that make them a worthwhile choice for your next roofing project.

They’re affordable

The main benefit that many Tampa roofing companies will mention when talking about asphalt shingles is that they’re the most affordable of all roofing materials you can get. This isn’t an indictment of quality, however—simply a function of evolving manufacturing processes combined with more economic materials being used for its base in the form of fiberglass.

They’re easy to install

There are two reasons this is important: The first is that it lowers the cost of having them installed, which adds to affordability. The second is that they are easy to replace in emergency cases (e.g., when a leak is discovered during the rainy seasons). This characteristic has nothing to do with their durability, however.

They’re resistant to many things

Despite the lower price tag and ease of installation, asphalt shingles are rather versatile when it comes to protecting your home. With the right adhesives and fasteners, they rate class 1 for wind resistance—the best you can get. They’re also resistant against hail, fire, and algae. With the right kind of coating, they are solidly waterproof as well.

They’re versatile in design

Lastly, asphalt shingles actually come with a range of design options. The basic three-tab kind comes in a range of colors that nearly encompasses the entire spectrum. You can introduce some elegance to your home with affordable options that can emulate the look of natural wood, slate, or tile.
