Asphalt shingles are the most common types of roofing materials in Texas. Relative to many types of roofing materials, they’re inexpensive yet durable enough to withstand numerous weather conditions.
While they won’t last forever (a traditional 30-year shingle might get you 25 years if it stays very well maintained), they do hold up fairly well against the sun, wind and rain we experience in Austin. They’re also lightweight and come in a variety of colors to meet your design goals.
Asphalt shingles are a popular choice because of their ease of installation and price tag, but they’re not without their faults. In terms of environmental impact, asphalt shingles are not the most eco-friendly. They are also less durable and have a shorter lifespan relative to other types of roofing materials.
On the whole, however, asphalt shingles offer many advantages to homeowners. If you have questions about different types of roofing materials for your Austin home or business, please get in touch with us at Storm Guard of SW Austin for help.
