Shingle Roofs
Shingles, especially those made of asphalt, are the most popular choice of roofing material in the US with over 80 percent of homes sporting asphalt shingle roofs. The reasons are many fold. Asphalt shingles are economical, low on maintenance, versatile and weather the elements extremely well. They are also easier to cut and installation is simple. Our New York, NY area expert roofing contractors are ready to help you with all your shingle roofing needs, including needs involving roofing estimate.
Asphalt shingles can come in the form of composition shingles that consist of organic felt, a mix of paper and wood fiber, and fiberglass shingles. Of the two fiberglass shingles are more economical, weigh less and are more resistant to wear and tear. The biggest complaint against asphalt shingles earlier was the lack of colors, the only available ones being boring blacks, browns and grays. Now however, newer innovations have led to the introduction of pleasing colors and variations as well as laminate coatings that offer an aesthetic texture and finish. The disadvantages of asphalt shingles are in their shorter life span. Although they are supposed to last for 15 years they usually have to be replaced much before that. An excessively hot climate contributes to the short life of asphalt shingles. Poor shingle installation is also a factor.

We have a 30+ year-old home, split-level ranch with asphalt shingles. We have a series of indoor leaks that correspond roughly to the split between levels. From above, there is no flashing at the split, there are a number of missing shingles and there is some rot. We have an insurance claim filed for repair of the effected areas, but we would also like to get estimates on full roof replacement including the possibility of metal roofing.
