If you have a composition roof in Orange County, you are not alone. This roofing material also goes by the name “asphalt shingles”. It’s the most popular roofing product in the US. That’s because there is a lot to love about this type of roof. Here’s why you should have a composition roof on your Orange County building.
Why Composition Roofs are Popular
You’ll love your roof for the same reasons people all over the US love their asphalt shingle roofs. It’s cost-effective, you get a wide choice of shingles, and your roof will last for years.
Cost
One of the biggest selling factors for asphalt shingle roofs lies in their affordability. Composition shingles are one of the least expensive ways to put a roof on your home. They are far less expensive than clay or cement tile shingles and still complement modern and Mediterranean home styles. From ranches to Spanish villas, all buildings look great with a composition shingle roof, and save money while they do it.
Colors
When it comes to color, texture, and style you get so many options with asphalt shingles. Pick from strip shingles (your common 3-tab shingle), dimensional shingles that replicate wood shake, and luxury shingles that look like quarried slate shingles. And that’s just the start! You’ve got colors and textures from which to choose as well.
Long life
Expect the composition roof on your Orange County building to last at least 20 years. Depending on the shingle, you may get even more life. And if you need a repair, those are easy to make when compared to other roofing forms.
Benefits of an Orange County Composition Roof
Many composition shingles are impact resistant and provide fire resistance as well. That means your roof doesn’t damage easily in hail storms and is less likely to catch fire from stray embers.
Tile roofs get covered in unsightly algae and require regular cleaning. Asphalt shingles don’t support mold and algae growth. So, you don’t have someone up on the roof pressure washing once or twice a year.
Reflect UV rays so your home stays cooler. That’s important for energy efficiency.
