If you’re searching for the best option for commercial or residential roofing, you’re sure to come across asphalt shingle roofing—the single most utilized roofing material on the market today.
Contractors and roof installation experts love asphalt roofing shingles because of their ease of use, low price points, and high durability. Asphalt and fiberglass layers provide your roofing with a powerfully water-tight and weather-resistant seal. This protection will keep you warm and dry throughout winter as well as cool throughout the summer.
This type of roof system is popular for several reasons:
From homes and offices to pole buildings and horse barns, asphalt roofing can protect your most valuable assets from the elements. Although asphalt shingle roofing may be less durable than other roofing options, like metal roofing or standing-seam roofing, it is an affordable option that’s easily repairable after storm damage if the wind takes some shingles. These benefits are why asphalt shingles are popular among both homeowners and contractors.
You might think that asphalt roofing is all interchangeable, but there are several choices available. Every type of asphalt shingle has its pros and cons. You might not want to spend the time it can take to research and consider the differences in durability, cost, and appearance. That’s why it’s essential to work with an experienced roofing contractor who can recommend the best kind of roof for your situation.
There are three primary types of asphalt roofing shingles used today:
(a.k.a. Three-Tab Shingles)
These are traditional, flat shingles made from a single layer of asphalt and fiberglass. Their simpler design makes them easier for contractors to repair and install. They are lightweight, available in several color blends, and are the most economical option in asphalt shingle roofing. These are a classic standard in roofing and will cover your roofing needs while providing a clean appearance.
(a.k.a. Laminate Shingles
or Architectural Shingles)
This type of roof adds curb appeal by bonding (or laminating) two or more layers of asphalt shingles. This style provides depth and a slight improvement in durability. Dimensional shingles use a combination of contours and cuts to add architectural interest to your home or business’s roof. The varied patterns of dimensional and architectural shingles give your roof a more interesting style.
(a.k.a. Premium Shingles)
This roofing material looks a lot like slate and is on the high end of the asphalt shingle options offered by Pine Creek Construction. This type of premium roofing is an asphalt roof with greater thickness than other asphalt roofing shingles, for a more impressive level of durability and energy savings. These shingles are made with random tabs for a classic look.
When it’s time for a new roof installation—whether it’s new construction, a brand-new roof, or a roof replacement—the biggest concern is how long the roof will last. This project is a sizable investment, and you want to know you’ll get your money’s worth and not worry about having to go through this process again.
The roofing product you choose matters. But that’s not all. The roofing contractor you select will mean the difference between a roof that meets or exceeds its life expectancy and one that doesn’t. Many roofing system manufacturers require that certified roofers install them for their warranties to apply. This requirement is because most roof failures occur because of poor installation.
There are two types of roof warranties:
Materials warranties provide you with coverage in the rare event that the materials themselves are defective. We only offer asphalt roofing shingles with a manufacturer’s warranty, so you’ll never have to worry about your roofing materials not being covered. And there’s more. We also supply a five-year workmanship warranty and superior support from a customer service department that cares about your experience.
At Pine Creek Construction, we like to give our customers options. Asphalt shingle roofing isn’t the only choice. In fact, we have two other popular options thanks to our metal forming facility. We supply metal roofing supplies to other contractors and builders in the area and can do our own installation of the following roof types:
If you’re looking for a longer-lasting, more energy-efficient option, look to metal roofing.
Concealed fasteners mean that standing seam roofs are longer-lasting than other metal roofs.
Your asphalt shingle roofing works hard throughout the year. Even though you might not think about your roof daily, it’s the first barrier between your building and the elements—every day and night.
It can keep your garage, home, or business cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, lowering your energy bills. It will keep out rain and snow and stand up against wind, hail, and other environmental challenges. Your roof is more than just a part of the home. It is your shield against nature’s worst effects.
Don’t put your family and home in the hands of just any contractor. For something as important as your roof, trust the expertise and integrity of the roofers at Pine Creek Construction. We’ve got the know-how, experience, and workmanship it takes to install asphalt shingle roofing that will last many years—and look great doing it.
