Approximately 75% of homes in the U.S. have asphalt shingle roofing. There are many good reasons why asphalt shingle roofing is the most common type of roofing in the country, such as low maintenance and budget-friendliness. At BGC Roofing, we specialize in asphalt shingle roof installation in the greater Miami, FL area. Here’s a look at five benefits of installing asphalt shingle roofing.

Simple Maintenance

Generally, the only necessary maintenance is to periodically remove organic debris that falls onto the roof, and to eradicate moss/algae as necessary. To remove moss, you can use a vinegar solution or a commercial moss removal product. It’s worth remembering that you shouldn’t use a pressure washer on your asphalt shingle roof—doing so could cause significant damage.

Easy to Repair

In Florida, intense winds sometimes send shingles flying off the roof. But when an asphalt shingle goes missing or is damaged, an experienced roofer can quickly replace it.

Fast Installations

For homes that are within a standard square footage range, asphalt shingle roof installation can often be completed within just a couple of days. For re-roofing projects where the homeowners are present, a fast installation helps to minimize disruption to your domestic life.

Strength Relative to Weight

Another advantage of asphalt shingle roofing is that it has an appealing weight-to-durability ratio. It strongly protects the home, but won’t put excessive strain on the infrastructure below it. Asphalt shingle roofing is popular for re-roofing projects because it can often be installed without having to reinforce the existing roofing infrastructure.

Budget-Friendly Roofing

Relative to other popular residential roofing options, such as tile and metal, asphalt shingles are more affordable. To get a price comparison for your particular situation, you can schedule an estimate with our Miami roofing company.
