Different kinds of shingles
There
are many different varieties of shingle, some of which last longer than others.
Shingles are small and relatively cheap to replace. But they are more easily
damaged or knocked loose than other forms of roofing, creating holes that need
to be fixed as soon as possible.
Slate
shingles last a very long time. Wooden shingles, which are usually made of
pine, cypress, redwood or western red cedar, last 30 to 40 years. Wooden
shingles made from splitting rather than sawing wood are called shakes, and are
much more durable than regular wooden shingles. But asphalt is the most popular
kind. Asphalt shingles last at least 20 years.
If
you live in Charlotte or Concord, NC and you have a shingle roof, you should
check it for blistering, curling or buckling after hot days or bad weather. When
you check your roof gutters, look for shingle granules. There are many things
that harm the shingles on your roof. The most obvious, of course, is a storm. A
hurricane can hit your roof with debris or extreme changes in air pressure, and
even a lesser storm can send a tree branch into your roof with enough force to
dislodge shingles. Hail is another cause of damage.
