Industry Leaders in Shingle Roofing

There are many different roofing materials available. Asphalt roof has been, and still is the most common material used around the country. Composition roofs, however, are growing in popularity. At Red Owl Roofing, we understand the complexities of composition roofing and know how to best work with it both on residential and commercial buildings.

What is Composition Roofing?

Composition roofing has the classic appearance of wood shingles and the durability of a more manufactured material. Composition roofs last for between 30 to 50 years, which is longer than many other materials. Part of the long-lasting nature is due to the weather resistance of the material. Composition roofing blocks sun damage and discoloration. It is also resistant to weathering and moss growth.

Though it has the traditional look of shingles, composition roofs have the variability of more modern roofing products. They are available in many different colors so you can customize your roof to match the rest of your property. You can also choose a specific tile size if you want to have especially large or small shingles on your roof.

Another reason why composition roofing is growing in popularity is that it is environmentally friendly. Composition roofing contains mostly recycled and reclaimed materials, so it has the lowest environmental impact of almost all roofing materials.

Some roofs also have problems that are not visible to the untrained eye. Red Owl Roofing can send experts to your property to examine your roof for any potential issues.

If you are remodeling your home, replacing your roof is always a good thing to consider. Because roofing is less glamorous than some other aspects of home remodel, some homeowners forget to check in on their roof. However, a roofing issue could cause severe and expensive damage to your home.

Replacing your roof also exponentially boosts your curb appeal.
