The look of your roof has a significant impact on curb appeal, shingle roof installation makes a mark on overall home value. Roofing basics is a concept an amateur might not understand. While they’re haphazardly attaching the hardware store’s budget-bin shingles to the roof of your home.

Professionals have the skills, tools and the quality commercial-grade supplies to make your next roofing job worthwhile. Here’s how the roofing experts at TekRoof get the shingle roof installation job done right:

Roof Shingle Types

Asphalt roofing shingles are available in two primary forms: three-tab and dimensional.

  • Three-tab asphalt shingles are a linear, traditional style that is declining in popularity and gradually disappearing altogether.
  • Dimensional roofing shingles are preferred by today’s discerning homeowners. These laminated shingles come in a wide variety of colors, styles and profiles, each designed to fit a range of looks and budgets.

High-end dimensional roofing shingles can mimic the look of natural slate tiles or genuine cedar shakes without their associated expense or maintenance worries. In areas where local fire codes prohibit the use of wood shakes, these Class A, Fire- Resistance-rated dimensional shingles can help you achieve the look of real wood.

Shingle Roof Installation for Maximum Protection and Durability

It doesn’t matter what kind of shingles you put on your roof. If the installer doesn’t understand shingle layout and know how to use them. Small mistakes lead to big consequences. Shingles that aren’t securely attached to your roof will shift during storms. Shingles damaged during shingle roof installation allow rain to penetrate your home.
