Why Asphalt Shingles are the most popular shingles installed in Michigan

Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material homeowners choose for their residential properties in North America. They’re also the top material to install in Michigan and continue to increase in popularity. There are a few main reasons why this may be the right option for your home or business.

The Low Cost

The affordability of asphalt shingles is what makes them popular in Michigan because they can allow you to save thousands of dollars on installing a new roof. The average cost is $90 to $100 per square foot. Due to the high demand, it’s allowed production costs to stay low. The cost of petroleum has also remained stable in recent years, which prevents the price of the material from increasing too much over time. Due to their durability, they can allow you to save more on the cost of your homeowner’s insurance for added savings.

Easy Installation

Compared to slate tiles or clay tiles, asphalt shingles are easy to install and don’t require special training or extensive experience in the roofing industry. This means that the project is a lot quicker to complete and won’t cause you to spend more on a team that specializes in the material. Asphalt shingles can be installed on a new roof in one to three days, depending on the size of the roof and the number of roofing professionals that arrive at your property to complete the project.

Low Maintenance

Asphalt shingles are also favored by homeowners because they’re easy to maintain over time. They’re designed to resist algae and are also fire resistant, offering a higher level of protection on the building. The shingles are also resistant to hail damage due to their strength, which prevents extensive storm damage and leaks from occurring in the winter season when there are harsh weather conditions in Michigan.

Asphalt shingles continue to remain in demand as they evolve and are engineered with more durability. You can have peace of mind knowing your building has a high level of protection at an affordable cost.
