Are you in need of a new roof? Look no further than shingle roofing! Shingle roofs are a popular choice for homeowners due to their versatility, affordability, and durability.

Architectural shingles, ideal roof replacement for your Florida home

When it comes to choosing a new roof for your home, there are many factors to consider, including cost, durability, and appearance. Shingle roofing is a popular option that offers a balance of these qualities, making it an excellent choice for many homeowners.

 

Architectural shingle roofing types

  • Asphalt shingles
  • Wood shingles
  • Metal shingles
  • Synthetic shingles
  • Rubber shingles
Tiles like Clay tiles, concrete tiles, and slate tiles are often categorized as types of shingle roofing.
  • Cost Effectiveness

    One of the primary advantages of shingle roofing is its cost-effectiveness. Asphalt shingles, the most common type of shingle, are relatively inexpensive and offer good value for their cost. While wood shingles may be more expensive, they are also more durable and have a longer lifespan, making them a worthwhile investment in the long run. In addition, the installation of shingle roofs is generally less labor-intensive and time-consuming compared to other types of roofing materials, further reducing the overall cost.

     

  • Durability

    Durability is another key benefit of shingle roofs. With proper installation and maintenance, shingle roofs can last for 20-30 years, depending on the quality of the shingles and the climate in which they are installed. They’re also relatively easy to repair, as individual shingles can be replaced as needed. This makes shingle roofs a low-maintenance option that can save homeowners money over the long term.

     

  • Versatility

    Shingle roofs are also versatile, as they can be used on a variety of different roof shapes and styles. Roofing shingle colors are also available in a wide range, allowing homeowners to choose a look that complements their home’s exterior.

  • Low Maintenance

    In addition to their affordability and durability, shingle roofs are easy to maintain. They require only periodic inspections and the occasional repair or replacement of damaged shingles. It is important to keep debris, such as leaves and branches, off the roof to prevent water from accumulating and causing damage. Gutters and downspouts should also be kept clean to prevent water from pooling on the roof or spilling over the edges. With proper maintenance, a shingle roof can provide reliable protection for your home for many years.

     

  • Environmentally Friendly

    Shingle roofs are also environmentally friendly, as they can be recycled when they reach the end of their lifespan. Asphalt shingles, in particular, can be recycled and used as a substitute for aggregate in hot mix asphalt, while wood shingles can be chipped and used as mulch or landscaping material. This makes shingle roofs a sustainable option that can help reduce waste and lower your carbon footprint.

     

  • Well Suited for Our Climate

    While shingle roofs may not be suitable for extreme weather conditions, such as areas with high winds or heavy snowfall, they are ideal for our mild climate. They are lightweight, which is an advantage for homes with weak or insufficient roof framing, and they can withstand normal wear and tear with ease.

From my initial phone call to the final paperwork my experience with G & W Roofing was excellent. Gerald, our estimator, was knowledgeable, professional, and always available to answer my questions and concerns. G & W kept me up to date on permitting, work, and inspections. I was provided with over 50 progress photographs before, during, and after construction. They answer their phones and do what they said they would do when they said they would do it. I strongly recommend G & W Roofing.

Where do I start? My experience with G & W Roofing was beyond AMAZING! My home had a direct lightning strike, and beyond a multitude of other things going on - my life was in chaos. I realized soon after, that I had a roof leak. I did not know what to do, or who to call. After asking my real estate agent, she sent me contact info for G & W. From my initial call, to the completed work, every single person at this company went absolutely ABOVE and BEYOND for me! They realized the urgency of my situation, and went out of their way to get someone to me as soon as humanly possible. They treated me with professionalism, respect, compassion, and care. During an uncertain time, G & W made a huge difference in my life and my children's lives... Among everything else they did for me, they brought me peace of mind. I will recommend this company in a heartbeat every time! Thank you, G & W Roofing!
