Choosing Asphalt Shingle Roofing for Your Home

When it comes to roofing materials, you can choose from many different options. However, the most cost-effective and versatile choice would be asphalt shingles. These shingles are incredibly durable for their price and come in a variety of textures and colors to match any home exterior.

Though they are durable, these shingles are still susceptible to damage. Should you choose this option, you will want to make sure you check your roof after every major storm, as well as ensure your roof is properly ventilated.

There are two main design options with asphalt shingles: strip shingles and laminated dimensional shingles. The strip shingle is the most basic option, with a strip of material with cutouts or tabs. Laminated dimensional shingles have multiple tab layers to create additional dimension with the design.

If you are worried about energy consumption, many manufacturers are now producing energy-efficient asphalt shingles. These shingles are designed to absorb less heat from the sun, reducing the power at which your air conditioner needs to run in the summer.
