Material does matter when it comes to picking a new roofing system for your home. And while you’ll probably feel daunted by the many different options available today, the important thing to remember is that, most of the time, safe and common is the way to go. That’s exactly what asphalt shingles are. They are a safe choice because millions of homeowners across the country can vouch for their performance, and they are a common option since they’re readily available pretty much everywhere.

These should be reason enough to pick them and get those free roof estimates from your local contractor. But if you want to know more about how they offer great value for money, check this out:

Asphalt shingles are extremely versatile. Not only are they available in a wide array of colors, profiles and thicknesses, they can also be designed to resemble genuine slate and wood shakes, only at a fraction of the cost! This allows for many design possibilities, ensuring that – regardless of your home’s architectural style and exterior palette – there are asphalt shingles that will match them perfectly.
They are tough and long-lasting. Asphalt shingles can now rival other classic roofing materials in terms of weather protection and longevity. They can last up to 20 years or longer, with proper installation and maintenance. How well they perform and how long they last are also dependent on the shingle quality. For this reason, make sure to work with a reliable roofing company like Punum Roofing of Houston, Inc. who is certified by three of the largest shingle roofing manufacturers in North America: GAF, Owens Corning® and CertainTeed®.
Asphalt shingles are energy-efficient. Some asphalt shingles, like the GAF Timberline® CS Shingles we offer, come with advanced reflective technology. This prevents heat buildup in the attic, which in turn, helps keep your home cooler and more comfortable during the warm season. If you want a roofing option that allows for significant energy savings, asphalt shingles are it.

Historical homes carry with them a certain timeless appeal that newer homes simply do not have.

Choosing New Asphalt Shingle Colors

Many roofers may tell you to stick with asphalt shingles for roof replacement projects. It’s popular, low cost, practical and even suits many traditional home styles. Tile, metal or slate roofs, though they last longer, cost a lot more and are quite heavy. Many homes aren’t built to support them. Wood shingles, ideal for ranch or rustic homes, can develop algae in moist climates. That’s why asphalt shingles are the go-to option among homeowners.

Building Proper Communication With Your Roof Contractor

It takes careful planning and consideration to fully replace your roof, and this can be a daunting task if you choose to do it on your own. It’s better to do your research and hire a professional who can help you build a good roof over your home. Of course, you should also hire someone who knows how to listen and communicate with you in each step of the roofing process.
