Hire a professional
roof installer to replace your old roof
Asphalt shingles can take the abuse of cold and heat,
snow, sunlight and ice for up as long as 15 years. The lifespan of a roof depends upon the type
and weight of the shingle, the building location, the pitch of the roof, and
how well the roof is maintained. Metal roofing can last from 40 to 60 years. It
is important to use a professional roof installer when putting on a new
roof. In Charlotte and Concord NC,
Advanced Roofing and Exteriors has expert roof installers on staff to help you
decide on the best roofing material for your new roof.
Asphalt-fiberglass or fiberglass shingles have a mat made
from fiberglass which is embedded in an asphalt coating and then layered with
mineral granules. If a home is getting a
new roof, the new material is typically a lighter-weight version of these
asphalt shingles. These are called
three-tab strip shingles.
How to evaluate an
aging roof
One of the most obvious indicators of trouble on a roof
is leaking or active dripping. As a roof
wears, it may develop small leaks which will gradually worsen and may damage
the internal structure of both the roof and the house. When checking a roof for problems, begin in
the attic or upper levels of the home.
