Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles cover at least 90% of the homes in this part of the country. The reasons are simple: they are relatively inexpensive, last 15 to 20 years, and require virtually no maintenance. Asphalt shingles are produced using fiberglass or organic mats, and are available in a variety of styles. Fiberglass 3-in-1 tab shingles are by far the standard, although the appearance of a roof can be greatly enhanced with a variety of dimensional shingles. Slate & Tile Slate is still found on many older homes. Slate is a stone that is quarried, split, and cut into shingles. Usually a charcoal color, slate may be green, red, purple, and variegated. Tile roofing is manufactured using baked clay or concrete. It is available in many styles and colors. Although they have a high initial cost, slate and tile roofs can last for many decades and add a distinctive upscale look to any home. Older slate and tiles roofs require periodic maintenance and care. Standing Seam Metal Standing seam metal roofs of copper or terne metal are found on many older homes and are a good choice for those who want to maintain that original appearance. Copper standing seam does not require painting or maintenance and in the long term costs less than terne, more commonly referred to as tin. Flat lock metal roofs are used on low slope applications. We can also install pre-fabricated metal roofs with either a standing or batton in a variety of colors. Metal Shingles Metal shingles have been available for years but are gaining in popularity partly due to their resistance to hail. They are expected to last longer than asphalt shingles, are highly fire retardant, and offer a distinctive look. Wood Shingles
Wood shingles provide a rustic appearance. Properly installed and ventilated wood shingles have a long life, but require periodic maintenance.
