Is it Time For a New Roof ?

Is it Time For a New Roof ?

The roof should be one of the main concerns for a homeowner. Shingles
that are past their life expectancy will be brittle, cracked and curled. They will also have lost the majority of their granulation. Any of these factors can cause leaking,

which in turn can cause extensive and costly interior damage.
There are two things to consider when deciding which shingle to put on your roof: quality and looks. It is important that you choose a quality
shingle. The average roof is done with a 25-year shingle. This is an
improvement over the 15-year shingle that was used years ago. Designer
shingles have increased in popularity during the last few years. One of
the best quality and reasonable cost designer shingle is a GAF 35 year
Timberline.
Your roofing installer will supply you with various samples of shingles and information on the product warranty to help you make your decision.
