Residential roofing overview
Residential roofing Charlotte, NC starts with a good roof
inspection. You should have your home inspected after a weather event like hail
or a hurricane; after a roof installation to ensure it was done properly; when
you are preparing to buy or sell a home; and as part of standard annual
maintenance to ensure a safe and long-lasting roof. The roofing experts in
Charlotte specialize in inspections, repairs, replacements, and color and style
changes.
Asphalt shingles
Off all the residential roofing options available, asphalt
shingles are the least expensive to make, easiest to install, and most popular.
There are two kinds of asphalt shingles for residential roofing: fiberglass and
organic. Fiberglass shingles have a base mat of woven fiberglass, which is then
coated in asphalt and covered in granules, making it waterproof, resistant to
damaging UV rays, and overall more durable and strong. Organic shingles are
made from felt that is recycled and saturated in asphalt, then coated in an
adhesive asphalt-ceramic granule mixture. A single asphalt shingle, regardless
of composition, measures 36 inches by 12 inches, and comes in one of two
designs: three-tab or architectural style.
