Just because something’s new doesn’t mean it’s better.
New roofing materials have entered the market place this year, giving the thoughtful homeowner even more choices for repair and replacement. Progressively engineered materials have potential, but conservative, dependable roofing companies like PJ’s Roofing will still be directing consumers to evaluate their options in light of durability, dependability, affordability, ease of care, and curb appeal—likely keeping asphalt shingles in high demand in the next five years.
Durability
Asphalt roofs are leak-resistant if properly installed, and they can last up to 30 years or more. Because the material is neither too light (which means less chance of uplift problems) nor too heavy (requires no reinforcement), this type of roof is likely to last a long time.
Dependability
When installed with fiberglass matting, asphalt shingle roofs are also fire-resistant. They bear up well under strong winds, typically staying put in even the gustiest summer storms or winter blizzards.
Affordability
Asphalt roofing systems offer an excellent value for the money, and are one of the most cost-effective options available to Frederick area homeowners. A reputable contractor will give you complete pricing up front, as well as payment options and financing plans if needed.
Easy Care
In addition to offering one of the simplest installation processes, asphalt roofs are among the simplest for homeowners to maintain. They can be easily adapted to fit angled or steep roofs, and repairs are usually straightforward and relatively inexpensive when performed by a knowledgeable, reputable professional.
Curb Appeal
Asphalt shingle roofing isn’t a cookie cutter solution. From natural looking, rough-hewn shingles to overlapping designs with 3-D effects, your choice of shingle and installation are many and varied. You can choose from a wide variety of colors to complement your color scheme or select asphalt shingles that resemble slate roofing or cedar
How the newly engineered roofing materials are integrated into residential design, and how well they perform, remains to be seen. Asphalt shingles, while perhaps an old stand-by, continue to offer some of the best value on the market in terms of longevity, attractiveness, and affordability.
