Asphalt shingles are a popular roofing material for homeowners in the United States. According to the Roofer's Guild, about three-fourths of U.S. homes have asphalt shingles on their roofs. Curious about why this is such a popular roofing solution? Here are four benefits of scheduling asphalt roof installation services with a team of expert contractors.

1. Affordable and Long-Lasting

Asphalt shingles are very affordable, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. This material also lasts a long time, is easy to maintain, and is relatively simple to repair. Per our experts, a professionally installed roof tends to last for about 30 years or more, especially when it is properly maintained and cared for.

2. Greater Structural Protection

Asphalt shingles are very durable and prevent precipitation from leaking through and affecting your home's structure. Asphalt shingles can withstand high winds, hailstones, and falling branches. Even when some shingles suffer storm damage, the same contractor who did the roof installation should also be able to provide quick and affordable repairs, depending on the amount of damage done. You can expect excellent structural protection for your property when using asphalt shingles on your new roof.

3. Insulates Against Extreme Weather

Whether it's a hot summer's day or a frigid winter's night outside, your asphalt roof will provide a solid amount of protection against extreme weather. Asphalt shingles create an effective thermal barrier that effectively keeps the air outside your home while making it easier to maintain a good comfort level inside of it. Asphalt shingles also help reduce the amount of energy your home's heater or AC system needs to maintain a comfortable temperature, helping you save money on electricity bills every month.

4. Improved Property Value

A well-built roof looks great and works even better, which improves your home's value. Property value is important if you are looking to sell your home. Additionally, asphalt roof materials come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors, which allows you to implement a visually stunning and attractive home addition.
