Structural damage (known or unknown), storm damage, and old roofs are the clearest signs that your roof needs replacement.  

A tree branch, a storm, or fire is considered an emergency that warrants immediate repair to your roof.

Asphalt shingles are the most reliable and affordable shingles for homeowners. Asphalt shingles can come in two forms: three-tab or dimensional roofing shingles.  Three-tab shingles are the most common asphalt shingle. They have a very flat appearance and generally weigh and cost less than dimensional roofing shingles.

However, homeowners are increasingly switching to dimensional roofing shingles. They have a wider variety of colors styles, and textures. Dimensional shingles are also thicker, and offer more protection against the elements.   

Energy efficient shingles will reflect more of the sun’s rays, keeping your home cooler and reducing your air conditioning needs. Energy efficient shingles can reduce cooling needs by 10-15%.

Ridge vents that are present atop the entire roof have the ability to move a lot of air. This can be essential for your home or business.
