Asphalt Shingle Roofers
Most roofs on houses here wear shingles built from a glass-fiber core with an asphalt skin, and that is worth keeping in mind. The granules do more than add color, because they shield the asphalt from ultraviolet light, and the granules end up in the gutters.
Flat shingles of this style are economical but wear out sooner than thicker kinds, so many homeowners compare it with thicker lines. Architectural shingles are made of two or more laminated layers that give the roof depth and shadow, and the thicker body stands up better to sun. Higher grades cost more, and the look is the main reason to pay for them, and a sample on site shows the difference clearly.
