6 Reasons Why Asphalt Shingles Are One of the Best Roofing Materials to Use

Best Roofing Materials

Picking the right roofing material for your house should be based on several factors. When you go through those factors asphalt shingles stand out from the rest!

This article will look into the reasons why asphalt shingles are better than other roofing materials. We will go through the qualities of asphalt shingles and those of other roofing materials.

After reading this article, you should have a clearer idea why asphalt shingles are  the favored roofing material for many homeowners.

Asphalt Shingles are the Roofing Materials of Choice

Most homes are constructed using asphalt shingles. There are several reasons behind the popularity of this roofing material. Here are six of those reasons:

Asphalt Shingles Are Lightweight

Asphalt shingles are very lightweight, especially when compared to other roofing materials. Metal roofs for example are quite heavy.

Because shingles are lightweight they add little load to the roof structure of a house. That means little preparation is needed for using this kind of roofing material. 

Other types of shingles like the ones made from slate can add significant weight to the roof. The use of heavy roofing material also means longer time for installation and that will also add significantly to the cost of the project.

Cost-Effective

Asphalt shingles are also inexpensive when compared to other roofing materials. Although asphalt shingles are far more affordable that does not mean that they will have to be replaced soon.

Asphalt shingles offer durability combined with cost-effectiveness.

Easy and Fast to Install

Another major advantage of asphalt shingles over other roofing materials is that they are easy and fast to install. The fast and easy installation means that your house will be spending less time being constructed. That can translate to savings on your part as well.

Plenty of Choices

Another amazing thing about asphalt shingles offer plenty of choices when it comes to colors. You are sure to find a color that would match what you want for your house.

It’s not just the colors of the asphalt shingles that are varied but the texture and the patterns as well. You’ll never run out of choices.

Asphalt Shingles Are Very Durable

Asphalt shingles are very durable that they do not require constant maintenance. Compared to other roofing materials, asphalt shingles are way more durable and can last longer.

More Experts Recommend It

When you ask roofing experts about their opinion as to which roofing material is best, many will say that they recommend asphalt shingles. According to the roofing contractor experts of Quality Discount Roofing & Construction, asphalt shingles are the best overall choice for homeowners.

These are just some of the reasons why asphalt shingles are the top choice among roofers and homeowners.

A New Roof Is a Good Investment

Even if your house is not a new one, you should consider getting an asphalt shingle roof for it. You can think of it as a form of investment.

Not only is a new roof great to look, it can also return 85% of its cost when you resell your house. That’s because potential buyers are willing to pay more for a house with a new roof. 

Another thing to consider is the energy efficiency of your roof. A roof that’s energy efficient can save you a lot of money in terms of energy costs.

These are just some of the considerations that you need to keep in mind when  you are choosing a new roof for your home. Quality Discount Roofing & Construction can help guide you in making the right options.
