Southern Star Roofing Asheville NC

Asphalt shingles are categorized by architectural style (also called dimensional or laminate) and three-tab, which is the older, thinner, single-layer design. Architectural shingles are now the standard because they're thicker, more wind-resistant, and carry longer warranties. They also have a layered, textured appearance that mimics wood shake or slate. Impact-resistant shingles are a further upgrade — manufactured with a modified asphalt or fiberglass mat that absorbs hail impact without cracking, which can qualify homes for insurance discounts in some states. If considering a new roof replacement, due to the inherent investment, it is always a great idea to invest time in a roof inspection to determine what course of action is best for your home or place of business.
