Introduction to Roof Shingles

Roof shingles were popular in the latter half of the 19th century, as a simple ornamentation of New England homes. What used to be rather uniform and unsophisticated, in fact an architectural reaction to the fancy Victorian Style, has become over time varied, decorative and colorful, while maintaining its fundamental functional advantages. Roof shingles include modern fiberglass-based asphalt shingles, cement and slate shingles, to name only a few. Different manufacturers and service suppliers offer everything from installing roof shingles to periodical cleaning and replacements. The art and science of roofing have come a long way to make you feel comfortable inside a home that is beautiful and durable from the outside too.

The Advantages of Roof Shingles

Form and function join together under roof shingles. Carefully laid, the color blending in with the landscape, the material picked according to the variation in weather patterns and other elements, installing roof shingles is a style and an art. Yet it provides durability, ventilation, water-protection and an overall healthy roofing system. An informed choice of roof shingles and manufacturer ensures your roof will be aesthetically pleasing and long lasting. Protect your roof from algae growth and curling, blistering and buckling with studied research and professional craft.
