Types of Roof Shingles and their Benefits
As you can see in the descriptions of the different shingle types below, there are abundant choices of roofing materials. Typically, the emphasis in choosing a material should be on which type of roofing is appropriate for your building’s architecture, your community’s zoning requirements (if applicable), your region’s climate, and your personal preferences.

Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are used for exterior siding or roofing due to asphalt’s efficiency as a waterproofing material. Asphalt roofs are widely used by U.S. home and business owners, because these work very well across various regions of the North American climate. Asphalt provides functionality at a relatively inexpensive price. It’s also quicker and easier to install than other premium materials. So, it’s less expensive to install. The life expectancy of an asphalt roof is typically 30 years. Together, these benefits make asphalt shingles one of the most cost-effective roofing options.
