A shingle roof offers several advantages for homeowners in any climate. They are cost effective, installation is relatively easy, and the several color options offer great curb appeal for any home. Choosing a shingles as the material for your next roof will come with several additional advantages.
Most homeowners do not consider several other factors when choosing a roofing material.
Sometimes, it is the small and subtle advantages that can make all of the difference when installing a new roof. If you are considering a new shingle roof for your home, check out these advantages that most homeowners do not often consider.
Easy Repairs
When it comes to making roof repairs, a shingle roof repairs can oftentimes be easily completed. Depending on your level of expertise or comfort and the extent of the damage, shingle roof repairs can be DIYed. If a shingle or two has been knocked loose or gone missing, safely climbing on your roof to replace them can be done easily.
If your roof repair exceeds your level of expertise, we highly recommend calling a local roofer so further damage is not done. Most roofing contractors offer free estimates on all repairs and can typically get the job done in less than a day or two. Of course, more extensive damage could require additional work or complete replacement. Discuss your options with your roofer to determine what is best for your situation.
Maintenance Matters
Similar to any other roofing material, professional maintenance will help extend the life of your roof. Simple tasks such as making sure your eaves and gutters are clear can certainly help your roof stay in working order. Removing broken branches and trimming your trees are also maintenance tasks that can help your roof stay healthy.
Inspecting your roof can also help you discover any maintenance or repair needs. If you are not comfortable standing on a ladder, you can also stand on your lawn with a pair of binoculars to examine your roof. Maintenance on your shingle roof is simple and comes with the big advantage of extending the life of the roof.
Fit In With Neighbors
Most homeowners, when remodeling their homes, will select materials and colors that compliment the feel of the neighborhood. Many neighborhoods also have specific rules and regulations that must be followed when changing the exterior of your home. The advantage an asphalt shingle roof provides is you will easily blend in with most of your neighbors. This helps your home especially if you are looking to sell.
Find A Qualified Contractor
Shingle roofs are extremely common amongst homeowners and it is typically easy to find a qualified roofing contractor to install or repair a shingle roof. Like we said before, shingle roofs are relatively easy to install and repairs can be completed in just a few days. This makes being a certified shingle roofer more accessible than that of a tile or metal roof. It is always recommended that you check a contractor’s licensing before hiring them. Additionally, asking for proof of insurance can also ensure you are in good hands when hiring a roofer.
