Asphalt roof shingles are also known as composite shingles. They are considered a “composition” product because of the way they are manufactured. A fiberglass or cellulose mat is saturated, covered with asphalt, and then layered with ceramic-coated mineral granules.
Asphalt shingles come in different thicknesses depending on the type of shingle and the manufacturer. The roofing professionals at All Phase Construction can help you understand all the available options.
There are three types of shingles: 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles (also known as dimensional shingles), and designer shingles. The first two classic types of shingles are the more economical.
All Phase Construction will help you weigh the benefits and costs of the various options so you can make the best choice for your roofing project.
In addition to considering materials, durability, and appearance, a key factor in deciding which shingles are best for your roof is their warranties. These can vary considerably depending on the region you are in. Florida homeowners should focus on the different labor, material, wind, and algae warranties available.
Many manufacturers will not issue a warranty if the contractor is not credentialed with them. Furthermore, many contractors do not register the warranties with the manufacturer, leaving homeowners without the coverage they assumed they had. All Phase Construction will be upfront about the available warranties, make sure you are registered with the manufacturer, and provide proof of that registration.
