Why Asphalt Shingles Are the Best Choice For Your Roof

Asphalt shingles are a great option for nearly anyone who’s considering a new roof. They’re relatively inexpensive, last more than a decade when properly installed, and come in a wide variety of colors and styles. They’re both functional and affordable. Let’s take a closer look at asphalt shingles, and why they’re the best roofing choice for your home.

Asphalt Shingle Types

There are two types of asphalt shingles. Organic shingles are made with recycled paper that’s been paired with asphalt, ceramic granules, and a type of salt to create a durable, waterproof result. The other is made with fiberglass; based on a reinforcing mat of fiberglass, they’re then covered with asphalt to make them waterproof. The main difference between them is that organic asphalt shingles are more durable, but fiberglass asphalt shingles offer better protection against fire. The organic version used to be more prevalent, but fiberglass is now more common.

The Affordability Factor

One of the top advantages of asphalt shingles is that they are less expensive than other types of roofing materials. They’re also much easier to install than some other types of roofing, making installation quick and painless. Considering the lower cost, easy (less costly) installation, and a lifespan of up to 15 years, it’s no mystery why so many homeowners choose this type of shingle for their new roof.

Considering Style

This type of shingle boasts a lower cost, but they aren’t at all lacking in style. There are three types from which to choose, including the traditional 3-tab, laminated architectural, and premium. No matter the style of your home, there’s an asphalt shingle that will look great with it. 3-tab shingles are very common, with architectural options a close second. Architectural shingles give your roof a dimensional look, as you would expect from slate or wood shingles. The premium version boasts a variety of patterns from which to choose, giving you the power to completely customize your home’s roof.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
