Our asphalt roofers will repair or replace your current roofing with premium asphalt shingles from Owens Corning. Asphalt shingles are the most cost-effective and popular shingles on the market, protecting 80% of the homes in North America. Asphalt shingles last up to 30 years and come in a wide variety of colors and styles.
Despite the myth that wood shingles are more prone to water damage and rot, they actually last just as long as asphalt shingles when installed and maintained properly. Wood shingles are highly resistant to the elements and provide your home with a rustic and natural look.
Also known as COOL shingles, energy-efficient shingles reflect the sun's rays and absorb less heat than standard shingles, saving you money on home energy consumption.
