Recapping on the Roof: An Uplifting Outset
In the rhythm of residential roofing techniques, the primary keyword “Asphalt Shingles” hammers a popular beat. NextGen Contracting, with its headquarters proudly perched in Jeffersonville, Indiana, tunes into this beat and perfectly orchestrates every roofing project. As we raise the curtain on this comprehensive roofing discussion, let’s start with some interesting data: Recent reports from the National Roofing Contractors Association say that asphalt shingles have stationed themselves as the star player in the U.S roofing market, cornering over 70% of residential roofing installations.
A Sheeting Symphony: The Role of Roofing Materials
Like a well-composed symphony, every section must play in harmony to create the magic of music. Similarly, every material in roofing, be it Asphalt Shingles, Metal Roofing or Tile Roofing must work in unison to perform its function as a protective shield. The choice of material will significantly impact the Roofing Lifespan and, consequently, the whole Roofing Investment.
The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors noted that while an asphalt shingle ensemble could last about two decades, a roofing composition featuring other members such as metal or tile can extend the performance to well over half a century. The choice of materials also tickles the aesthetic note, giving rise to diverse Roofing Designs that strike a chord with homeowners.
