Asphalt shingles are economical and versatile, and account for more than 80 percent of roofs in the United States. They're available in a wide variety of quality, cost, and style. If asphalt shingles are your choice for your new roof, Absolute Construction and Remodeling Inc. can help you find the best shingle for your roof and take care of the complete installation including:
- Tear off of your old roof.
- Disposal of your old roof.
- Proper installation of your new shingles, underlayment and flashing.
- Clean-up.
There are two kinds of asphalt shingles fiberglass shingles and organic-mat shingles. Fiberglass shingles carry a better fire rating than organic shingles, but organic-mat shingles are tougher and stay more flexible in cold weather, so we tend to use organic shingles in the Midwest.
Asphalt single warranties range from 20 to 45 years according to the manufacturer. At Absolute Construction and Remodeling Inc. we refer to ASTM D-225, which is the industry standard that covers shingles for tear=strength and nail-withdrawal tests. Shingles that pass the standards cost more than those that don’t. Since the cost to install a good shingle vs. a sub-standard shingle is the same, buyer beware of “discount” deals on new roof installations. You may end-up with a roof that will only last a short time due to sub-standard shingles if you opt for the lowest bid.
Along with a myriad of color choices, asphalt shingles are now available in a range of shingle styles from the traditional 3-tab shingle to shingles that look like slate or shake or even ceramic tile. Asphalt shingles now come in all kinds of colors and profiles.
