In this post, you will learn from a deck and additions expert some of the hallmarks of a properly installed asphalt roofing system as your guide.

Asphalt Shingles. These cover the entirety of your roofing system which is made of a fiberglass base mat coated. They normally come with protective mineral granules that allow the material to resist harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall, blistering heat and hailstorms.
