Durable & Cost-Effective Roofing
Asphalt shingles are one of the most popular roofing materials in North America, known for their affordability, durability, and wide range of styles and colors. Shingles are installed by layering them from the bottom edge of the roof to the top. Each shingle overlaps the one below it, creating a watertight barrier. Whether you're building a new home or replacing an old roof, asphalt shingles offer a practical and attractive solution.
These are the most basic type, featuring a uniform flat appearance. They're lightweight, cost-effective, and offer decent protection for up to 20-30 years.
Three-Tab Shingles
These shingles are thicker, offer more dimension and textured than three-tab shingles. Architectural shingles provide a more dimensional, layered look, enhancing curb appeal. They are more durable and typically last between 30-50 years.

To check for storm damage on your roof, look for missing or damaged shingles, dents or impact marks from hail, and granules in gutters. Inspect for leaks, water stains, or mold inside your home, and check gutters for dents or debris. Ensure flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights is intact, and watch for fallen branches or debris on the roof. For a thorough assessment, consider having a professional inspect hard-to-reach areas.
Key indicators that it may be time for a roof replacement include water leaks, sagging or uneven areas, curled, cracked, or missing shingles, granule buildup in your gutters, or if your roof is over 20 years old. Regular inspections can help catch these issues before they become more serious.
