Reliable roofing materials go a long way in protecting your home from the elements. Asphalt shingles are among the most popular for a number of reasons. If you’re thinking about replacing your existing structure, here are a few reasons to consider this highly regarded option.

Why Asphalt Shingles Are a Great Choice for Your Roof

1. Style Options

Your roofing system contributes to your home’s curb appeal. Asphalt shingles are an exceptional choice if you’re interested in a particular style or color to complement your property. They’re available in a wide range of colors and some even replicate the appearance of wood.

You might choose to have your roofing contractor install them in a flat formation side by side or prefer a more overlapping configuration.

2. Durablity

Asphalt is reliable and durable with an approximately 30-year life expectancy. Assuming it’s properly maintained through the years, you can expect it to stand up to the elements well. It is resistant to both wind and fire. Because of its availability and light weight, contractors can also repair problems quickly and simply.

3. Eco-Friendly Choice

As more homeowners seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint, asphalt makes sense for its eco-friendly construction. The material doesn’t lose its efficacy once it comes to the end of its useful life on your roof; it can be recycled and repurposed.

After it’s ground into small pieces, the material can be incorporated into hot-mix asphalt or used to patch potholes. Larger pieces can be used to create a stable underlayment for pavement.
