Composition (Asphalt)

Composition shingles have been around for decades and are available from several well respected manufacturers. Composition shingles are the most widely used of all roofing materials. The large number of styles is matched by the numerous colors from which to choose. The style and weight of the shingle determine the length of the manufacturer's warranty - ranging from 20 to 50 years. And, as a general rule - the longer the warranty - the higher the cost.

While no one really knows how long a shingle with a 40 or 50 year warranty will really last, most well-known manufacturers produce very good composition products with a choice of styles and colors that enable homeowners to make a selection that will compliment their home. Choose a product produced by a reputable manufacturer in our area like: Owens-Corning, CertainTeed, and Tamko.
