Balancing Cost, Performance, and Aesthetics
Homeowners want a roof that performs well, looks great, and won’t break the bank. Asphalt shingles strike this balance by offering reliable protection, appealing design, and easy installation—all at a price point that’s easier to manage than alternatives like metal or slate.
Why Asphalt Shingles Are a Smart Investment
Lower Installation and Material Costs
Asphalt shingles are significantly more affordable than slate, clay tile, or standing seam metal among common roofing materials. Because they are lightweight and easy to install, labor costs are also lower. That’s a win for homeowners looking to improve their home’s durability without overspending.
Easy Repairs and Maintenance
Asphalt shingles are not only simple to install—they’re also easy to maintain. In the event of damage from a storm or fallen branch, replacing a few shingles is straightforward and much less expensive than fixing metal panels or replacing a slate section.
Performance in the New York Climate
Designed to Withstand the Elements
From snow and ice in Ulster County to summer storms in Beacon, asphalt shingles offer weather resistance across all seasons. Many are reinforced with fiberglass for extra strength, helping them resist wind uplift and heavy precipitation.
Compatible With Reflective Technology
Modern asphalt shingles can also incorporate reflective shingle technology, which helps reduce attic heat during the summer. This enhances the roof’s efficiency and further contributes to long-term savings on energy bills.
Comparing Asphalt Shingles With Other Materials
Asphalt Shingles vs. Slate
Slate is beautiful and durable but very expensive to install and maintain. It’s also heavy, often requiring structural reinforcement. Asphalt shingles can offer a similar appearance without the structural burden or high cost.
Asphalt Shingles vs. TPO
TPO is more common on flat commercial buildings. For residential homes with sloped roofs, asphalt shingles vs. TPO is no contest—shingles offer greater design flexibility and curb appeal.
