The Affordable Asphalt Shingle Roofing Services in Lafayette, LA
Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Three-tab Asphalt Shingles
These are the most common type of asphalt shingle roofing, classified by their cutouts which make them look like three separate pieces. They’re affordable, lightweight, easy to maintain, energy efficient, and can last up to 20 years.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Laminated with an additional asphalt layer and bonded with asphalt sealant, architectural shingles have a more defined, structural look and are more durable and waterproof than three-tab asphalt shingles. They come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes and can easily mimic the look of more premium roofing alternatives like cedar and slate roofs.
In addition to these types, there are also different materials that your shingles could be made of:
Fiberglass Shingles
Made with a combination of woven fiberglass as the base, asphalt coating, and ceramic granules on top, these materials create a waterproof and UV-protectant shingle while also being extremely lightweight and thin due to its lower amounts of asphalt.
Organic Mat-based Shingles
This kind of asphalt shingle roofing has a recycled felt paper layer for its base. They’ll be heavier, thicker, and slightly more expensive than fiberglass shingles but they’re also more rugged and flexible.
Benefits of Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Affordability
An asphalt shingle roof is a fraction of the cost of most other roofing types. Even on the premium end, asphalt shingles will still give homeowners on a budget the best bang for their buck. With proper installation and regular maintenance, a quality roof doesn’t have to break the bank.
Color Variety
It comes in a wide variety of colors as well, ranging from neutrals like shades of grey and brown to more statement-making colors like blue and polychromatic hues. Depending on how much they’re willing to spend, homeowners have the choice of installing asphalt shingle roofing that perfectly emulates wood or slate.
Simple Installation
Both asphalt shingle roof installation and repairs are relatively simple since new shingles can be installed on top of existing ones, assuming that there aren’t more than two layers underneath already and that the roof deck is in decent condition.
