Modern shingle roofing offers many benefits to homeowners, especially in the sunny climate of Hawaii. If you need re-roofing or are installing a new roof, here are a few reasons to use asphalt shingles on your home.

Why Choose Shingle Roofing for Your Home

1. Versatility

Shingle roofing comes in a variety of colors and textures that can mimic the look of other materials like wood shakes or slate. Different shapes and styles can complement any style of architecture, from historic to modern.

2. Performance

Modern asphalt shingles have excellent durability and a long life span of 25 years or longer. Fire- and wind-resistant and waterproof, the shingles are light enough to work on most home designs without needing extra roof support. They’re also flexible enough to use on multi-pitch roofs or steep rooflines.

3. Environmentally Friendly

Shingles are recyclable, so when it’s time for re-roofing, they won’t end up in a landfill. Recycled shingles can be used in paving roads. 

Plus, the granules in shingles are UV-resistant. Choose lighter colors for extra heat deflection, or look for Energy Star® compliant shingles that will increase the energy efficiency of your home. 

4. Affordable

Shingles are among the most affordable roofing materials with a much lower cost than slate, metal, or tile. Because of their long life span and durability, they’re also cost-effective over time.

They’re laid in sheets rather than single tiles, so they involve less labor and time to install. It’s possible to install shingles over an existing roof, which can save time and money as well.
