Roof Contractor in South Windsor CT Debunks Some Common Misconceptions About Asphalt Shingles

Slavin Home Improvements has been providing quality roofing services in Manchester, CT, and the surrounding areas for many years now. That has led them to become one of the most experienced and knowledgeable roofing contractors in its area. The company goes to great lengths to always share that knowledge with its customers to help them make sound roof repair choices. A good example of that is a recent blog article that this company posted on its website that debunks some of the common myths about highly popular asphalt shingle products.

This new blog starts by saying that even though asphalt roofing shingles have been providing excellent protection for homes in Connecticut for many decades now, there are still many misconceptions about how well they perform. Such is the case when this roof covering material’s longevity comes into question. The blog clearly states that not only do asphalt shingles hold up well for a long time if properly taken care of, constant improvements in the materials that go into making them have them now lasting longer than ever before.

In the recently posted blog, the post mentions that there are some that view asphalt shingles as being very limited when it comes to choices in looks. The article stated that while this used to be the case, that’s no longer true. Asphalt shingle products now come in many choices. There is different color shingle to choose from and choices in the decorative patterns they come in also. It was stated in this blog that modern-day shingle can even be purchased that mimics the looks of more expensive roof coverings such as slate and wood shake.

Also mentioned in this newly posted article is that asphalt shingle still contains asbestos. That is something that has not taken place since the early 1960s. It’s a very safe roofing material to have on a home and because of its material content, it’s a recyclable roof covering material, too. Other shingle-related topics that were discussed in this Slavin Home Improvement blog include asphalt shingle sealant curing time and how lighter and darker shades of shingles impact cooling-associated costs.

Zak Slavin, the company owner, says, “We are always happy to answer any questions that our customers may have about any of the roofing products that we supply and install. That includes any questions someone considering a major roof repair may have about the many different choices of asphalt shingle products that we carry.”

In addition to being one of the most knowledgeable roofing companies in its area, this roofer also has had many glowing reviews about its services left on its Google My Business listing. The following Slavin Home Improvements customer review is a good example of that.

Marissa Jacko stated, “We had the privilege of working with Zak and his team on our home for a roof replacement, and addition of gutters. They did a wonderful job!
