I am having
problems deciding whether to repair or replace my asphalt shingles. Asphalt
roofing seems to be a good option in the Greensboro, NC area. I also worry that
the repairs will stand out because the older shingles will have faded over
time.
I found out that
there are three main types of asphalt shingles to choose from in the
Greensboro, NC area.
·
3 tab shingles: The three tab shingles are the most common
type of asphalt roofing product. This product is less expensive than other
asphalt shingles may be. It will do the
job it was designed for. This type of asphalt roofing material generally comes
with a standard warranty of 20 to 50 years. This is the type of shingle that is
presently on my home, and if I chose to repair the roof instead of replacing
it, I would have to use this type.
·
Dimensional shingles: This type of shingle is also known as
architectural shingles. They provide an almost three dimensional look to your
roof. This type of asphalt roofing material is one of the highest quality
roofing materials on the market, and can often provide a dramatic appearance.
Dimensional asphalt shingles can often mimic cedar shakes or slate roofing in
appearance.
·
Specialty shingles: Specialty shingles can make a statement
that will not go unnoticed. They are generally the most expensive choice in
asphalt shingles. However, they are also an extremely high quality product and
in some cases come with a warranty that extends from 50 years to a lifetime.
What this means to people considering a new roof is that while the cost may be
a bit higher than other options; this would be a one-time only investment in
your home.
I have gained
a lot of information about asphalt shingles and residential roofing companies
in my Greensboro, NC area. When I do finally reach a decision about the project
I will be able to make an informed decision. This made the most sense to me as
a first step in the decision process, especially after I read their positive
customer reviews. If you are wondering, should I repair or replace my asphalt shingles, give the trustworthy roofers today, and ask them to come out and give a free estimate!
