Questions Homeowners Like Yourself Ask About Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Having a new asphalt shingle roof installed isn't a small purchasing decision. So we understand it's common to have some questions. Below you'll find some of the most common questions we get asked before homeowners start the process of a new roof installation.

• How long do most asphalt shingles last?

  The asphalt shingle you choose impacts the warranty option and lifespan. Weather and how well you stay on top of maintenance also factor in. All the shingles we install come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and can last up to 50 years under certain conditions.

• What type of asphalt shingle is best?

  All the shingle products we offer are of the highest quality, so you can't go wrong. We offer a standard and premium product to help fit your budget and what works best for your needs.

• When should I replace my asphalt shingle roof?

  If you're noticing missing shingles, finding shingles on your lawn and garden after a windy day, or having leaked from the inside of your home, it could be a good time to get it checked out to see if it can be repaired or if it's time for a new roof installation.

• How much maintenance do asphalt roofs require?

  Fibreglass asphalt roofs don't require much maintenance. It's best to keep an eye on things and ideally do an inspection on the roof itself every few years to stay on top of things.

• Can I install a new fibreglass shingle roof over my current roof?

  In theory, you can, but it's not a good idea at all. You can save some money upfront by not having to rip out and dispose of the old shingle and other materials, but you'll be paying for it in the long term. It will cause all kinds of problems with the new install fitting, you can easily miss rotted boards and holes under the shingles, and it will also cause warranty issues.
