Asphalt shingles are on 80% of
U.S. houses. The fiberglass variety are
the most popular in the southern climate
because they are lighter in weight, easier
to carry, and have an excellent fire rating.
They are easy to install and can be cut to
fit difficult installations.
All shingles come with a warranty, however, this should not be the main factor in deciding on your purchase.
Local code mandates a product that has been tested
and meets the application standards. Be sure your
choice in shingles meets or exceeds the local code standards. A licensed Roofing Contractor will help you make the proper decision.
Remember, it does not cost any more to nail down quality shingles as it does to nail cheap ones. When it comes to your roof, you should demand only first quality shingles be used. In 20-25 years you will be glad you did.
