Asphalt Shingles: 4 Reasons They Are a Great Investment

Asphalt shingles cover millions of homes in the U.S. With this roofing material, you don’t have to spend as much to ensure your humble abode stays protected against the elements. Aside from its cost-effectiveness, it’s also available in various designs to complement different home styles.

Here are four reasons asphalt shingles are a worthwhile investment.

1. Cost-Effectiveness

Asphalt shingles are among today’s most cost-effective roofing options. While they are more affordable than other materials, it doesn’t mean they are inefficient or not durable. An asphalt shingle roofing system can last at least two decades with proper installation and regular maintenance.

2. Durability  

Durability is another crucial factor that adds to the value of asphalt shingles. Products from reputable manufacturers like GAF offer excellent weather resistance. You can count on them to keep your home protected and dry even during severe weather.

3. Appeal and Versatility

You can get asphalt shingles in various styles and colors. Some even resemble other popular roofing options like slate and wood shakes. Regardless of your home’s aesthetic, you’ll surely find asphalt shingles that can elevate its beauty. If you are considering listing your property in the future, a well-installed asphalt shingle roof can boost its curb appeal and value.

4. Ease of Installation and Maintenance 

Another wonderful thing about asphalt shingles is that it’s easy to install, repair and maintain. Their ease of installation means lower labor costs during installation. This roofing material also requires minimal maintenance, saving on upkeep costs. Regular inspections and cleaning are enough to keep it in good shape.
