The Benefits of an Asphalt Roof
Asphalt is by far the most popular roofing material in North America, and that prevalence comes down to these products striking an excellent balance between initial cost and long-term performance. There are three main types of asphalt shingles found on roofs in this area. The 3-tab shingle is older and low-grade and typically only used in new construction. Architectural shingles, which are also called dimensional and laminated shingles, have taken over as the most popular type for roof replacements and installations. They’re thicker and more durable and provide a much wider range of colors and other design options. The third choice is luxury shingles, which are even larger than architectural shingles and often manufactured to look like slate and other materials.
Asphalt shingles are a versatile product, and that makes asphalt roof replacement an option for practically any house or building no matter the uniqueness of its design. There is a wide range of options when it comes to aesthetics and especially as you move into the architectural and luxury spaces. These shingles are affordable and provide a strong total cost of ownership. Asphalt shingles also deliver excellent performance when it comes to energy efficiency, noise dampening, and resistance to impacts, wind, fire, and algae. Another notable advantage of an asphalt roof is that if it is damaged, the repair will be simple and inexpensive relative to most other roofing materials.
Reasons to Consider Roof Replacement
The top reason to consider asphalt roof replacement is age, and the most common mistake we encounter is property owners trying to extend the life of a roof to squeeze out as much value as possible. The problem with this approach is that when the roof does wear out, you’re running the risk of water damage, which can be quite substantial in a very short period. Our advice is to replace your roof proactively based on the expected lifespan of the roofing material. If you have shingles with a 30-year warranty, for instance, we suggest replacing them prior to reaching that mark. You should also schedule a professional inspection once a year and have any necessary maintenance performed. Property owners should also call Tycos if they notice shingles or flashing that is missing or damaged, a sagging roofline, or any leaks or other moisture problems, including the growth of mold, algae, funguses, moss, and so forth.
