Professional Asphalt Roofing Installation in Bucks County & Western NJ

ASPHALT ROOFING

Asphalt shingle roofing is the most popular type of roofing material on residential properties. Asphalt shingles are made with an organic paper or fiberglass (for reinforcement) that is saturated with asphalt for waterproofing. The shingles are covered with ceramic granules to protect the asphalt from the sun’s UV rays, and to add aesthetic value.  Brands we use: GAF, Certainteed, Tamko.

What Styles are Available?

Available in 3 tab Architectural or Dimensional. Dimensional asphalt roofing shingles are manufactured as multi-layered products and provide a thicker and richer appearance on the roof (a multi-dimensional look).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof?

With proper installation and maintenance, architectural shingles typically last 25-30 years, while premium options can last up to 50 years. Factors affecting longevity include local climate, ventilation, and maintenance routine.

What’s the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?

3-tab shingles are single-layer with a flat appearance and typically last 15-20 years. Architectural shingles are multi-layered, offering a dimensional appearance, better durability, and longer lifespan (25-30+ years), though at a higher cost.

Can new asphalt shingles be installed over existing ones?

While possible in some cases, we generally recommend complete removal of existing shingles. This allows us to inspect the underlying deck, ensure proper ventilation, and provide the best foundation for your new roof.

How long does an asphalt roof installation take?

Most residential asphalt roofing projects are completed in 1-2 days. Factors affecting timeline include home size, roof complexity, weather conditions, and whether old roofing needs removal.

What maintenance does an asphalt roof need?

Regular maintenance includes annual inspections, cleaning gutters, removing debris, checking for damaged shingles, and ensuring proper ventilation. We recommend professional inspections every 2-3 years to catch potential issues early.
