Asphalt roofing is one of the most common that you will find. It is a fairly inexpensive choice since the material is one of the cheaper ones, and installation is very easy. Even removal of old asphalt shingles is fairly easy, so a future replacement will not cost as much. In fact, you even have the option of leaving your old shingles and just installing new ones on top of them.

Asphalt shingles are fairly durable, and the expected lifespan of an asphalt roof is about 20 years. Even though this is a long time, there are other materials with much longer lifespans.

Asphalt comes in a variety of colors, so you have the option of finding one that matches your siding well, thus improving the appearance of your home.

You need to keep an eye on your roof to make sure that there isn’t moisture collecting on it, since mold and moss growth could damage your roof.
