Towson Roofing Pros, a roofing company based in Towson, MD, recently answered a question about the disadvantages of asphalt roofing shingles. Asphalt shingle roofs are a popular choice for most homeowners and other property owners because they are affordable and can also provide an attractive, low-maintenance, and durable roof. However, it is also important to be aware of the various disadvantages of an asphalt shingle roof. These disadvantages are related to durability, weather, environmental impact and maintenance.
A major disadvantage of an asphalt shingle roof is that it has a shorter lifespan compared to other roofing materials. It is expected to last around 15 to 30 years, meaning it will need to be replaced more frequently than more durable roofing materials such as tile or metal. A second disadvantage is that asphalt shingles weaken over time from exposure to the elements and can become damaged, particularly in harsh weather conditions such as extreme temperatures, hail and high winds. These elements can cause cracks, cracks and other damage to the asphalt roof shingles.
A third disadvantage of asphalt roofing shingles is their environmental impact. Its production can have a significant impact on the environment, as it requires the use of non-renewable resources and can lead to waste and pollution. In addition, at the end of their useful life, the asphalt shingles are usually disposed of in landfills, where they take a long time to degrade.
Although asphalt roofing shingles are relatively low maintenance compared to other roofing materials, they also require some maintenance over time. Periodic inspections must be carried out to determine any damage. This includes occasional repairs or the replacement of some shingles and the regular removal of moss and algae growth.
Towson Roofing Pros, the Baltimore roofing contractor, offers several tips for properly maintaining an asphalt shingle roof. This includes regular inspections, making sure the roof is clean, fixing leaks as soon as possible, pruning trees and hiring a professional roofer to ensure the roof is thoroughly checked and maintained at least once a year. Because roofers are able to spot potential problems and ensure the right solution is provided.
A spokesman for Towson Roofing Pros says: “If you are planning to install asphalt shingles on your roof, it is important to consider the costs associated with the project and the installation process. On average, asphalt shingles can cost anywhere from $100 to $150 per square foot, with one square covering 100 square feet of roof space. The final cost depends on factors such as the quality of the shingles, the size and complexity of your roof, and any additional materials needed for installation.”
With regard to the roof installation, it is also advisable to leave this to the professional roofers. They remove the old shingles that cannot be repaired, repair the shingles that can still be repaired, and provide a backing. They then lay the shingles from the bottom up, starting at the edge of the roof and overlapping each row until they reach the top. Next, they mount the roof covering and seal the ventilation slots and roof edges.
