4 Reasons to Pick Asphalt Shingles for Your Next Roof

If you take a look around your neighborhood, you’ll probably notice that a majority of homes have something in common: they all have asphalt shingle roofing. The enduring popularity of this particular roofing material is not exactly unearned. Asphalt shingles offer many benefits that make them a worthy investment for every homeowner.

1. Exceptional Good Looks
There’s no doubt that, with the right design considerations, an asphalt shingle roof can effectively improve your home’s curb appeal. These roofs are available in a wide array of colors, textures and thicknesses. Some can even mimic the natural beauty of genuine wood shakes and slate, allowing for even more design possibilities. 

Because of their versatility, asphalt shingles make it easier for you to match your new roof with the rest of your home’s exterior design elements. Jack the Roofer offers high-quality asphalt shingles from several top roofing manufacturers. These include our options from Owens Corning®, which come in 70 different choices for color and style. As a certified roofer, we can ensure your new shingle roofing system is installed perfectly right every time. 

2. Superior Weather Resistance
Asphalt shingles can withstand different weather conditions, from blistering sunlight to rainstorms to snow loads and high winds. They usually have a life expectancy of 20 years, but when installed and maintained properly by a trusted expert like Jack the Roofer, your shingle roof can last even longer. 

3. Fast and Easy Installation
Because asphalt shingles are lightweight, they allow for faster and more effortless installation. They also don’t require an additional support structure that’s common in heavier roofing materials like tile and slate, making asphalt shingles the more cost-effective choice.

4. Energy-Efficient Performance
Some asphalt shingle options like our Owens Corning Duration® Premium COOL Shingles come with advanced granules that reflect solar energy, helping reduce attic heat buildup while keeping your air conditioning costs to a minimum. They are also ENERGY STAR® qualified, which means they have met (even exceeded) stringent energy performance ratings.
