Tallahassee Roof Shingles
Shingles Are a Great Way to GoAs previously mentioned, a new roof is a great way to dramatically change the appearance of your home, and it will help keep it protected from the elements, too. Just like siding, roof shingles come in a large range of styles, colors and finishes, making it impossible NOT to find something that perfectly suits your home and its particular needs. For example, asphalt roofing shingles are a popular choice for homeowners across the country, because they are inexpensive and relatively easy to install. They are also durable, as the widespread hurricane damage we here in Florida experienced in the 90s prompted shingle manufacturers to up the wind force the shingles can withstand without tearing.Asphalt shingles come in two kinds – organic and fiberglass (sometimes also called “glass fiber”). Organic shingles are made from paper that is waterproofed by being saturated with asphalt, and then a coat of adhesive asphalt with ceramic granules is applied over the top. If copper is also mixed in, the shingle also becomes resistant to algae and moss. Fiberglass shingles are made from fiberglass laid randomly and bonded to resin, and then coated in asphalt to make them waterproof. A qualified, skilled contractor will know how to install either type of shingle and help you decide which is best for you and your home.
