Roof Types Best For Houston
Asphalt Composition Shingle
Benefits of Asphalt Composition Shingles
Asphalt composition shingles are celebrated for their cost-effectiveness, aesthetic diversity, and reliable performance. In the face of Houston’s intense heat, sudden storms, and high humidity, these shingles stand strong, offering superior protection against leaks, wind damage, and UV rays. Their granular surface reflects sunlight, helping to keep your home cooler during the hot summer months.
As like many other products, not all shingles are the same. Depending on the manufacture and the series of shingles, some might come with better warranties, some have a higher impact rating which can get you a discount on your insurance premium, some can only be installed during cooler days, and of course, the pricing varies through each one.
Ultimately, with high winds and hail being the biggest concern in Houston’s weather storms, each shingle brings a different type of resistance. The shingle manufacturers we stand behind are Malarkey, GAF, and Owens Corning. In that order.
