Last updated 1 year ago

Are you looking for a great roofing material for your home? While there are many different roofing options available to Bay Area homeowners, nothing comes close to the popularity, versatility, and value of asphalt shingles. Our window and door company carries a great selection of new, beautiful asphalt shingles that would look perfect on your home. Here’s a quick overview of asphalt shingles and why you should count on Custom Exteriors, Inc. to install them on your home.

Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the United States and cover the roofs of over 5 million homes. There are a number of different factors that make asphalt shingles so attractive. First, asphalt shingles are known for being very economical. They are easily the most affordable roofing material available today, and they come in a number of different levels, ranging from basic budget shingles to shingles that will last you 50 years or more. For the amount of protection you get, asphalt shingles will give you the best performance for the cost.

Second, asphalt shingles provide excellent protection against the weather. They’re made using a combination of a sticky hydrocarbon adhesive, thick backing, and crushed stone and stand, making them tough enough to withstand anything the Bay Area weather can dish out. They’re incredibly water resistant and tear resistant and can stand up to moss, mold, and other roofing problems.

Third, asphalt shingles, more than any other roofing material, are available in a wide variety of new, beautiful colors and shapes. You can easily find asphalt shingles that fit your color and size requirements and match your windows and doors. You may even find a number of unique and interesting patterns and shapes to give your home that stylistic edge you’re looking for.
