ASPHALT SHINGLE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT IN NORTH TEXAS

If your roof seems to be in bad shape, you may be in a hurry to find a reliable roofing contractor. You may also be thinking about what kind, style, and color of shingles will look best on your house. Calidad Enterprises knows how to install asphalt shingles in the best way possible for our customers. Asphalt shingles are by far the most cost-effective and useful type of roofing on the market. Four out of five homes have them, and they come in many different colors and styles. This makes it easy to give an asphalt roof any look you want. In the end, an asphalt shingle roof is by far the most popular, flexible, cost-effective, and easy-to-install type of roof.

WHAT KINDS OF ASPHALT SHINGLES THERE ARE

At Calidad Enterprises, we work with the two main types of asphalt shingles, each of which has its own pros and cons. Even though all asphalt shingles are made of similar materials, they are not all exactly the same. Here's a look at each type to help you decide which one might be best for your roof.

ARCHITECTURAL SHINGLES

Dimensional, or laminate, shingles are very strong and last a long time. This type of shingles has a unique, three-dimensional look and feel, and they can last up to 30 years. Laminated shingles will cost more than 3-tab shingles, that's for sure. But in the long run, the extra cost can really pay off. Because they have more than one layer, laminate shingles are more durable and can be covered by warranties that last longer.

LUXURY SINGLES

Luxury shingles, also called premium shingles, have a three-dimensional look and are the most durable of the three asphalt shingle types. They are also a bit more expensive than 3-tab or laminate shingles, which you probably could have guessed. They have the same layered look as cedar shakes or slate tiles, but they are less expensive. In fact, luxury shingles are made to look like these more expensive types of roofing at a fraction of the price. To drive home the point, slate roofs are usually ten times more expensive than laminate shingle roofs. For older, period-style homes that look best with shake or slate roofs, premium shingles are a great choice for the roof. Luxury shingles really look like the real thing because they create depth and shadows.

WHY CALIDAD ENTERPRISES SHOULD INSTALL YOUR ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOF

As we've already talked about, asphalt shingles have a lot of good points. But these benefits only last as long as the roof is installed well. When the installation is done correctly, you can look forward to the following:

Asphalt shingles will not need much upkeep. But even if they get broken, it's easy to fix them.

Most of the time, the cost of installation is a lot less than with other roofing materials.

Asphalt shingles can be used on any kind of home because they come in a wide range of colors, styles, and patterns.

Asphalt-fiberglass shingles have a fire rating of Class A and stand up better to wind.

If you choose asphalt shingles with an ENERGY STAR® rating, you'll get all of the above benefits, plus your home will use less energy. That means you'll have to pay less to stay cool during our scorching summers.

COLORS OF ASPHALT SHINGLES

Aside from the different shapes and styles, asphalt shingles also come in a wide range of attractive colors. Since 1901, when they were first used, asphalt shingles have changed a lot. They now come in a wide range of colors, from red and brown to blue and green. For older homes, you can also mix dark and light colors to make them look old or worn. Some roofers have access to new technology that lets you use an online tool to virtually try out different colors.

ASPHALT SHINGLES AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Asphalt shingles that are good for the environment are made by a lot of companies, so our customers who want to build greener homes that use less energy can do so. Cool-roof technology is making it possible for asphalt shingles to soak up less heat from the sun. This means that your air conditioner won't have to run as often in the summer.

Asphalt shingles are still by far the most common type of roof for homes. When they are put on right, asphalt shingles have a long history of making customers happy and lasting for a long time. They are strong, can be used in many ways, and come in many styles and colors. All of these qualities are available from Calidad Enterprises at the most affordable price of any roofing material.
