The Pros and Cons of Shingle Roofing

When it comes to roofing options, shingle roofing is one of the most popular choices for homeowners. It offers a classic look and is relatively affordable compared to other roofing materials.

In this article, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of shingle roofing to help you make an informed decision for your home.

One of the biggest advantages of shingle roofing is its affordability. Shingles are relatively inexpensive compared to other roofing materials, making it a popular choice for homeowners on a budget. Additionally, shingle roofing is easy to install, which can save you money on labor costs.

Variety of Styles and Colors

Shingle roofing comes in a wide variety of styles and colors, making it easy to find a look that complements your home's aesthetic. From traditional asphalt shingles to more modern options like metal or slate shingles, there is a style for every homeowner's taste.

Easy Maintenance

Shingle roofing is relatively low maintenance, making it a convenient option for busy homeowners. Regular inspections and minor repairs can help extend the lifespan of your shingle roof, but overall, it requires minimal upkeep.

Quick Installation

Compared to other roofing materials, shingle roofing is quick and easy to install. This means less disruption to your daily routine and a faster turnaround time for your roofing project.

Cons of Shingle Roofing

Lifespan

While shingle roofing is affordable and easy to install, it does have a shorter lifespan compared to other roofing materials. On average, shingle roofs last between 15-30 years, depending on the quality of the shingles and the climate they are exposed to.

Susceptible to Damage

Shingle roofing is more susceptible to damage from extreme weather conditions, such as high winds and heavy rain. This can lead to shingles lifting or even being blown off, which can result in leaks and water damage to your home.

Limited Insulation

Shingle roofing does not provide as much insulation as other roofing materials, such as metal or tile. This can result in higher energy bills, especially in colder climates.

Simplex Roof Replacement Process

Inspection and Assessment

Inspection and Assessment

The first step in the shingle roof replacement process is a thorough inspection and evaluation of your current roof. Simplex Roof will examine the condition of the existing shingles, identify any signs of damage, leaks, or underlying issues, and assess the overall structural integrity of the roof. This step helps determine the extent of the replacement required and allows Simplex Roof to provide an accurate estimate.

Shingle Selection and Material Preparation

Once the evaluation is complete, Simplex Roof will work to select the shingles that best suit your preferences, budget, and architectural style of the home. Shingles come in various materials, colors, and styles, such as asphalt, architectural, or composite shingles. Simplex Roof will help you choose the correct type of shingle and ensure that the necessary materials, including base components, flashing and vent, are ready for replacement.

Shingle Removal and Installation

Shingle Removal and Installation

With the materials ready, the next step is to remove the existing shingles. Our roofing team will carefully remove the old shingles and inspect the underlying structure for damage or deterioration. They will then proceed to install a new underlayment, which acts as a protective barrier, and apply it to the roof deck. The new shingles are then meticulously installed, starting at the bottom and working toward the roof, ensuring proper alignment, support, and ventilation. The team pays attention to detail, making sure the shingles are properly positioned and secured.

Clean-up and Final Inspection

Clean-up and Final Inspection

Once the shingle installation is complete, Simplex Roof will perform a thorough cleaning. They will remove debris, old shingles and construction materials from your property, leaving it clean and tidy. Finally, a final inspection is done to ensure that the shingles are installed correctly, that all elements are in place, and that the roof structure is sound. Simplex Roof will walk you through the completed job, answer any questions or concerns you may have, and ensure your satisfaction.

Simplex Roof was a prayer answered! As a single woman, it can be difficult to find trustworthy, capable service providers who listen and take me seriously. Company Founder Jose Cabrera was all of that and more. Jose responded to my inquiry immediately and scheduled a visit on MY first available date.

Rebecca O. New Orleans, LA

I had an excellent experience and highly recommend this company. The owner is very knowledgeable and his team is experienced. They did a great job, explained what was done, provided before/after images taken with a drone of the roof installation, and cleaned up when they were done. They are a hard working team.

Showed up a week after signing contract and completed the work in two days. I am very pleased with the results. The day after my roof was done a tornado hit my area and my roof had not leaks or damage. I would recommend this company to anyone. Thank you Jose for everything.
