Why the Composition Roof is Popular in Orange County
Orange County homeowners want a roof that is affordable and a roof that will last. Composition roofs are popular in Orange County because they are affordable, lightweight, durable, and energy efficient. Also, shingle manufacturers make asphalt shingles in a variety of colors these days. So, you have more options than ever before.
Affordable
A composition roof costs a fraction of a tile roof in Orange County. The cost per square foot for a composition roof in Orange County is much lower than other forms of roofing. In addition, the supportive framework generally costs less because it doesn’t need to bear a heavy load.
Lightweight
Asphalt shingles aren’t heavy. That makes doing any job where the shingles must be installed, repaired, or replaced much easier. That saves you in labor costs as well.
Durable
New asphalt shingles are made to last. Most are highly flame resistant and stand up to years of UV light, wind, rain, and even hail!
Energy Efficient
Orange County composition roofs shield your home from the heat. This keeps your home cooler and reduces your energy costs. Some shingles contain cooling granules that earn them Energy Star ratings and may even qualify for tax rebates.
Composition Roofing Process
A composition roof consists of plywood decking, a waterproof underlayment, and shingles.
Installing a new roof includes removing the existing roof down to the plywood decking. If decking shows signs of damage, it requires repair or replacement.
Once the decking is secure, underlayment attaches to the decking. Sealing around vents, pipes, skylights, chimneys, and other openings in the roof is crucial to ensure your new roof is watertight and done right.
Finally, shingles are installed.
