Understanding Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles, the most popular roofing material across the United States, have earned this reputation due to their affordability, durability, and aesthetic appeal. These shingles comprise a base mat made of either organic materials (wood or paper fiber) or fiberglass, saturated and coated with asphalt for waterproofing, then topped with mineral granules for UV protection.
The manufacturing process ensures that the shingles are resilient to diverse weather conditions and environmental factors, making them an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a balance of cost, performance, and aesthetics.
Installation of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Properly installing an asphalt shingle roof involves several crucial steps that require professional expertise to ensure longevity and effectiveness. At Simpli Roofing, we adhere to a meticulous installation process.
We prepare the roof deck, ensuring it’s clean, dry, and free of protruding nails. A layer of roofing felt is laid down to provide additional protection against water infiltration. The asphalt shingles are installed from the bottom edge of the roof upwards, ensuring they overlap to prevent any leaks.
Ventilation is a critical aspect of shingle roof installation. Adequate ventilation helps prevent heat and moisture build-up, which can lead to roof decking and insulation damage, increasing energy costs and reducing the lifespan of your shingles.
Asphalt Shingle Warranties
Asphalt shingle warranties generally cover manufacturing defects and premature aging or deterioration. These warranties typically last between 20 to 50 years, depending on the quality of the shingles you choose.
At Simpli Roofing, we go the extra mile by offering an additional workmanship warranty. This covers any installation errors, ensuring that if a problem arises due to our workmanship, we will correct it at no additional cost to you.
Lifespan of Asphalt Shingle Roofs
While the lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof can vary depending on environmental factors and maintenance, you can generally expect a well-installed and well-maintained asphalt shingle roof to last between 20 to 30 years. Factors such as harsh weather conditions, inadequate ventilation, and lack of regular maintenance can shorten this lifespan.
