Shingle Roofs

These shingles are made of a base (organic or fiberglass) that is saturated with asphalt and coated with minerals on one side to resist weathering. Fiberglass shingles are more flexible and stronger than organic shingles. Shingles come in a wide-variety of styles, quality, and colors. Shingle roofs can be overlayed with a new roof, if the initial roof is a single layer (3-tab shingle) and in good condition. The life expectancy of composition shingles depends on the rating and ranges from 20 to 50 years. Most manufacturers will cover a composition roof under warranty, but only if it has been installed by a certified roofer.
