When faced with a steep-slope re-roofing opportunity, most homeowners and building owners are, of course, concerned about the durability, performance and value of their new roof. Many choose asphalt roofing materials for their ability to satisfy these performance and budgetary factors. For many, especially homeowners, the aesthetic appeal of the roof is also a major factor. Again, asphalt shingle roofing excels. Asphalt shingles, due to the wide variety of colors and shapes available, provide a vast number of options to help a home blend in or stand out in a neighborhood. All of these considerations speak to the advantages of using asphalt shingles. What may be overlooked as a contributing factor in their popularity is that they are recyclable. Asphalt shingle waste can be diverted from the landfill and reused in other applications. |
