ASPHALT ROOFING REPAIR & REPLACEMENT

IN ORMOND BEACH, FL

If you're experiencing a roof leak or you know your roof is at the end of its life cycle, you may be scrambling to locate a trustworthy roofing contractor and wondering what the best roofing material is to protect your home without breaking the bank.


Of all the kinds of roofing materials on the market, asphalt shingles are easily the most affordable and versatile. This roofing material dominates the residential roofing market – you will see asphalt shingles on 4 out of 5 homes across the U.S. – and for good reasons. These shingles are versatile, available in a wide range of colors and styles to match the look you're going for, cost-effective; and, easy to install compared to other roofing material options.


RETEX ROOFING & EXTERIORS provides our customers with top-quality asphalt shingle roofing options at an affordable price. Keep reading to discover how asphalt shingles may be the best option for your roof.

TYPES OF ASPHALT SHINGLES

At RETEX ROOFING & EXTERIORS, we offer the three primary types of asphalt shingles, each with its own set of pros and cons. While each type of asphalt shingle is made from similar materials, they differ in their life spans, quality, and overall aesthetic.


Look at the breakdown of each type and photo examples below to determine which type you may be interested in for your roofing needs.

  • 3 - TAB SHINGLES

    A 3-tab shingle consists of a fiberglass and asphalt mat that is saturated with an organic substrate like paper or wood. These are the most affordable type of asphalt shingle, but they come with fewer aesthetic options, a shorter lifespan, and greater potential for tear-off issues.


    3-tab shingles are lightweight and designed to withstand natural wear and tear for about 10 to 15 years. They are easy to recognize by their tidy, flat appearance. These roofs do not have a dimensional aesthetic like their architectural counterparts.


    If you're looking for simplicity and upfront cost-effectiveness, 3-tab shingles may be the best option for you.

  • ARCHITECTURAL SHINGLES

    Architectural, laminate, or dimensional shingles all refer to the same extremely strong and durable shingle. This type of asphalt shingle offers a distinctive multi-dimensional appearance and texture, and it has a lifespan of about 20 to 30 years in ideal conditions. 


    Because of their longer lifespan and more-appealing look, these laminate shingles come with a higher price tag than the 3-tab shingles. However, the extra cost may pay itself off in the long run, as they're higher quality and more durable against Mother Nature. 

  • LUXURY SHINGLES

    Luxury shingles, or premium shingles, also offer a multi-dimensional look, and they are the most durability of these three types of asphalt shingles. 


    As the name may suggest, these luxury shingles come with a higher price tag than the 3-tab and architectural shingles. However, they are a more affordable option than cedar shake or slate tile roofs that have a similar layered appearance. In fact, luxury shingles are designed to mimic these types of roofing material at a fraction of their price.


    Premium shingles are an excellent roofing option for older, period-style homes originally designed for shake or slate roofs. The depth and shadows created by luxury shingles truly make them look stunning.

TOP 5 BENEFITS OF AN ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOF

Asphalt shingle roofs dominate the residential roofing market, with shingles protecting about 80% of homes in the United States. So why do so many homeowners choose this type of roof?

 

Here are the top 5 benefits of an asphalt shingle roof:


  1. Cost-Effective Upfront. Asphalt shingle roofs offer a durable roofing material for a lower upfront cost than other materials, such as metal or slate. They continue to be the most affordable roofing option on the market, even with recent price increases.
     
  2. Easy Installation & Repair. Their simple installation process helps to keep the cost for repairing or replacing asphalt shingle roofs low.
  3. Design Variety. Asphalt shingles offer a wide range in style, color, and quality. From 3-tab to architectural and premium shingles, these shingles come in a wide selection of colors so you can pick the right color and look for your home.

  4. Versatility. Their flexibility makes asphalt shingles able to cover many angles, shapes, and forms, which enables them to work with almost any type of roof no matter its complexity. While there’s a minimum slope for asphalt roofing, these shingles are suitable for almost all homes in North America.
     
  5. Ease of Integration with Other Roof Features.  Let’s say you want to add a couple skylights or sun tunnels to your roof, or perhaps a new chimney. Asphalt shingles’ flexibility make the addition of other roof features pretty seamless, without disturbing the rest of your roofing system.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A RETEX ROOFING & EXTERIORS ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOF INSTALLATION


You can expect the following process when you install your asphalt shingle roof with Retex Roofing & Exteriors:

 

  1. Preparation.. Our crews will roll out tarps around your home to assist in our cleanup process and to protect your garden, siding, and air conditioner units. They will pay special attention to any furniture or possessions and protect them or ask you if they can move them out of the way.
  2. Tear-Off. They will then tear off your existing roof, starting from the ridge and moving down to the eaves. You may hear a lot of shoveling noises. It’s also the point at which the crew is able to assess the wood decking underneath for any damage or need for replacement. 

  3. Moisture Barrier Installation. At this stage, the crew will install Ice & Water Shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and any attic ventilation components. 
  4. Roofing Material Installation. This step also includes the installation of flashing, pipe collars, and any skylights you may have. 
     
  5. Cleanup. The crew will take time to clean your yard of debris, including old roofing materials, nails, and any plastic or paper waste. They will run a nail rake 2-3 times throughout your yard to ensure a clean and safe environment. They will wrap up the project by hauling away and disposing of debris.


Note: Sometimes our crew installs a roof in a single day and returns the next morning for cleanup. If you notice an excessive amount of debris or nails left in your yard, please give us a call and we will return to clean up.
