Varied Appearance
Asphalt shingles come in many styles and colors, including designs that mimic wood, slate, or tile. Popular color options include black, gray, tan, and white, allowing you to customize your roof to complement your home.
Easy Installation
Compared to metal, slate, or tile roofing, asphalt shingles are quick and simple to install, reducing labor costs and installation time.
Low Maintenance
Repairs are straightforward and affordable. Damaged shingles can be replaced individually without removing the entire roof.
Affordability
Asphalt shingles are cost-effective, offering a durable and attractive roofing option at a lower price than many alternatives.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing FAQ
How do you repair an asphalt roof?
Damaged shingles are removed and replaced individually. Repairs should always be handled by a professional to ensure proper sealing and prevent leaks.

Most are made with fiberglass mats coated with asphalt and water-resistant granules. They are recyclable at the end of their lifespan.
When should I replace my asphalt roof?
If your roof is 20+ years old, shows cracked or curling shingles, or has signs of water damage in the attic, it may be time for replacement.
