Shingle Roofing Tampa Bay is a roofing system that is constructed using wood shingles. The term Shingle has come to describe the type of roofing construction, but it is actually a generic term for several different types of roofing systems. In its most basic form, Shingle is a roofing system that consists of small, thin, irregularly shaped tiles laid on top of previous roofs to form a flat and smooth surface. These tiles are then joined together to form larger and smoother patterns.
Shingle roofing is one of the most attractive types of roofing options available, and it offers many benefits to home owners. One of these benefits is its durability, which makes it an excellent roofing option for homes in areas prone to severe weather and to the threat of severe storm damage. Shingle Roofing is also a fairly energy efficient type of roofing option, thanks to the lightweight materials it is made from. These materials make Shingle Roofing quite resistant to both physical and chemical damage.
Another advantage of Shingle Roofing is that it is easy to repair. Even though it is relatively simple to install, if the tiles are not properly installed or if they are damaged, it can be very difficult to repair them and make them look good again. With Shingle Roofing, a professional roofer can replace damaged or broken tiles so that they are all the same color and style. This allows you to simply apply another coat of paint and your roof will look as good as new. If you choose to use asphalt shingles for your Shingle Roofing, you will want to take special care to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the proper installation of these shingles. The tips and techniques detailed in the "ATAA Journal" are very important and must be followed to get your Shingle Roofing project off and going quickly.
In many cases of Shingle Roofing, granules of asphalt are found within the underlying shingle material. These granules do not cause any damage, but instead make the shingle appear old and worn. If these granules are not properly treated, they may cause discoloration or physical damage to your Shingle Roof. Other times, these granules may be small enough to be removed by hand, but they may still be lodged beneath the tiles creating an unsightly appearance.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing has been found to be a highly energy-efficient choice. In fact, it is one of the most energy-efficient roofing systems on the market today. This energy-efficient feature helps to save homeowners money on their heating and cooling bills because the asphalt shingles provide greater reflectivity than traditional shingle roofs. The larger surface area in turn allows more water vapor to be exchanged with the air. Because asphalt shingles are made from granules of asphalt and are much more durable than shingle alternatives, the actual structural integrity of your Shingle Roof is not threatened and will in fact, last longer due to its strength and durability.
Installing new roofing can be a major investment for any home; however, the Shingle Roofing system is considered to be a low maintenance option that will greatly increase the value of your home. In fact, many home owners prefer to install asphalt shingles over asphalt shingle roofing because the Shingle Roof system requires less maintenance and upkeep to keep working well for years to come. Unlike asphalt shingle roofing, which must be replaced regularly because of constant exposure to moisture, the Shingle Roof system will not need replacement for several years.
The most obvious benefits of Shingle Roofing is its cost efficiency. While asphalt shingle roofing can cost a homeowner several hundred dollars per square foot, the cost of installing a Shingle Roof is far less. Additionally, it will provide more durability against natural elements such as snow, rain and hail. Asphalt roofing does not fare so well against such occurrences because it is constantly exposed to moisture and can easily succumb to damage from these elements. However, when the Shingle Roof system is installed properly, you will have the added benefit of an architecturally appealing roof surface that will look great for many years to come.
When it comes to aesthetic benefits, there are also many homeowners who prefer this roofing option. For one, it provides a cleaner, more modern look to the home. It is far easier to clean, even for professionals, than asphalt shingle roofing. Furthermore, because the Shingle Roof is made of granular materials, it provides a unique look to the home. This type of roofing option can be used to completely revamp the look of your home.
