What Is an Asphalt Roof?
An asphalt roof uses shingles made from a fiberglass mat coated with asphalt and topped with mineral granules. This combination creates a roofing system that is:
- Strong and weather-resistant
- Affordable compared to many other roofing materials
- Available in a wide range of colors and styles
Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material in America for good reason—they offer an excellent balance of performance, versatility, and value. With modern products from manufacturers like GAF, you get advanced protection against wind, algae, and impacts, along with curb appeal that can dramatically improve the look of your home.

How Our Asphalt Roofing Process Works
We’ve refined our process to make your roofing project as smooth and predictable as possible.
Step 1 – Roof Inspection & Consultation
We start with an on-site inspection of your roof. Our team checks for damage, takes photos, and then walks you through what we found in clear, simple terms. If a repair will do the job, we’ll say so. If a replacement is the better option, we’ll explain why so you can make an informed choice.
Step 2 – Personalized Estimate & Shingle Options
Next, we put together a written estimate with straightforward pricing and no hidden fees. We’ll review your shingle options side by side—good, better, and best—so you can compare looks, durability, and warranties. We’ll also help you choose colors and styles that fit your home and budget.
Step 3 – Professional Installation
On installation day, we protect your landscaping and property before any work begins. Our experienced crew focuses on quality workmanship and safety from start to finish. We work efficiently and clean up the jobsite each day so your home never feels like a construction zone.
Step 4 – Final Walkthrough & Warranty
When the roof is complete, we walk it with you so you can see the results and ask questions. We review your GAF product warranties and our workmanship warranty, then share simple maintenance tips to help your new roof last as long as possible.

Asphalt Roofing FAQs
Q: How long does an asphalt shingle roof last?
Most asphalt shingle roofs last around 20–30 years when properly installed and maintained, with architectural and premium shingles typically outperforming basic 3-tab options.
Q: How do I know if I need repairs or a full replacement?
Small leaks, a few missing or curled shingles, or minor flashing issues can often be repaired, but widespread damage, heavy granule loss, recurring leaks, or an older roof usually point to a full replacement. Our free inspection will let you know which option makes the most sense.
Q: How much does asphalt roofing cost?
Pricing depends on your roof’s shape and complexity, the type of shingles you choose, the underlayment and ventilation system, and any necessary deck repairs. After an inspection, we provide a clear written estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
Q: How long will the project take from start to finish?
Most asphalt roofing projects on typical single-family homes take about one to two days, weather permitting, with larger or more complex roofs sometimes requiring extra time.
Q: Do you help with insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. We can inspect for storm damage, document our findings with photos, and provide a detailed estimate that you can share with your insurance company to help streamline the claims process.
Q: What kind of maintenance does asphalt roofing need?
We recommend regular roof inspections, keeping gutters clean, removing debris from the roof, and addressing small issues like missing shingles or cracked flashing quickly to help your roof last longer.
