Asphalt shingles are by far the most common roofing material out there, and for good reason. Not only are they cheap and easy to install, but they provide quality protection for homeowners.
The big question is, sure they’re on the cheaper side, but are they durable? The keys to making your asphalt roof last as long as possible is to choose a premium-certified contractor, get a long-lasting warranty, and keep your roof regularly maintained.
Hire a Quality Roofing Contractor
The first thing you need to do when you get an asphalt roof installed: hire a quality contractor. We recommend that when you look up different roofers, look into the premium certifications they have.
Arnett is an IKO ShieldPro PLUS Roofing Contractor. IKO recognizes us as a premier contractor as we’ve met the following criteria:
- In business for at least 5 years
- Have no outstanding complaints with the Better Business Bureau
- Offer sufficient compensation and worker’s liability insurance
- Be in good credit standing with suppliers
- Have a regular business address
By choosing Arnett, you have a quality roofing contractor working to make sure your asphalt roof lasts as long as it possibly can!
Get a Long-Lasting Warranty
A key perk about hiring a premium-certified contractor is that you’ll get a long-lasting warranty on your roof as well.
Just in case the shingles don’t last as long as they should, a long-lasting warranty is there to make sure you’re always protected. With a premium warranty, you’re making the best choice for your home by making sure you have high-quality roof protection.
Keep Your Roof Regularly Maintained
Along with choosing a high-caliber contractor and getting a long-lasting warranty, take good care of your roof to make your asphalt roof lasts as long as it can.
We suggest getting a roof inspection twice a year: in the spring and the fall, plus after every hail storm that hits your area. When you get regular roof inspections, your roofing contractor will evaluate your roof, see if there’s any storm damage or roof dents you weren’t aware of, and suggest any repairs or replacements if needed.
You should especially get a roof inspection after every hail storm because hail, no matter what size it is, can damage your roof and cost you a lot more money in the long run from leak damage.
The best part: roof inspections are FREE. So, you’re able to make sure your asphalt shingles are durable and last a long time.
