Asphalt Roofing in the Richmond Area

Asphalt shingles are the most popular shingle choice among Richmond homeowners for their affordability and extensive range of styles. The shingles are made from fiberglass sandwiched between asphalt and ceramic granules. They are easy to install, durable and weather-resistant. If your existing roof deck (the structural surface beneath the roofing system) is in decent shape, new asphalt shingles can be installed over older shingles, making tearing the old roof off unnecessary and saving you money.

What are the varieties of asphalt shingles?

Three-tab, or strip shingles are the most basic asphalt shingles. Because they are made from a single layer of asphalt, they’re flatter and thinner than laminated shingles and are usually installed on less inexpensive homes or houses with pre-existing strip shingles.

Laminated shingles, also called “architectural” or “dimensional” shingles, are made from two or more layers of asphalt fused together for a richer multi-dimensional appearance. They resemble wood shakes and natural slate roofing and are heavier and more durable than strip shingles.

Designer, or luxury shingles, are the highest-quality laminated shingles you can buy, and also the most expensive of asphalt shingles. Luxury shingles are constructed from the thickest and heaviest roofing material and come in a variety of cuts and layers that make them distinctive and beautiful.

 

 

Asphalt shingles are one of the sustainable and environmentally friendly roofing options for homeowners.

Here’s why:

  • Asphalt shingles reduce the use of raw materials.

Because they’re made from recycled materials, manufacturing asphalt shingles not only uses up less raw materials, but it also helps reduce landfill waste.

  • Asphalt shingles are more energy efficient.

Their high thermal resistance reduces the home energy consumption necessary to keep indoor temperatures at a comfortable level.

  • Asphalt shingles require less maintenance.

Cleaning, repairing, or replacing a roof can be bad for the planet because of the energy and chemicals required. Asphalt roofing’s low-maintenance durability minimizes the use of both.

  • Asphalt shingles reduce waste.

Roofers can repurpose used shingles into other asphalt-based products instead of sending them to a landfill.
