Shingle Roofs
Each shingle is built on a fiberglass mat soaked in asphalt on the front and the back; crushed mineral granules are pressed into the top coat. The granules do more than add color, since they shield the asphalt from the sun's ultraviolet light; losing granules is the plainest sign of an aging shingle. A factory-applied sealant strip bonds each shingle to the one below after a few warm days; cold or dusty surfaces can keep the strip from sticking. Owners who look up Shingle Roof Contractors and Shingle Roof Contractors Near Me usually want a roofer who can explain what is on the roof.
