COMPOSITION
SHINGLES

Asphalt shingles are among the least expensive roofing materials made. Every professional Houston roof company knows how to install them. Certain composition shingles can withstand hail. They provide good fire resistance and may come with wind warranties up to 130 mph. Some of them incorporate zinc or copper to reduce the growth of algae. They do need to be cleaned periodically to get rid of any accumulated debris. Some types of asphalt shingles have a reflective coating, which helps to lower your home’s cooling costs. Even though they can be recycled, most used asphalt shingles wind up in landfills.
