Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Barstow, California

The asphalt shingle is the most common roof in Barstow, and the desert sun is its biggest test. The right shingle and the right color make the difference. Asphalt shingle roofing in Barstow means the roof that stands up to the high desert.

Choosing Shingles for the Barstow Desert

• Light-colored shingles — the reflective surface lasts longer in the UV
• Architectural grade — the thicker shingles resist the heat better
• High wind rating — the shingles rated for the desert gusts
• Proper ventilation — the hot attic shortens the shingle life

Why Barstow Homes Choose Shingle Roofing

The cost is the main reason. The asphalt shingle is the most affordable roofing material, and it performs well in the desert when the right grade is chosen. The architectural shingles offer the best balance of cost and life.

The heat is the challenge. The desert UV bakes the shingles, and the south slope wears faster than the north. The light-colored shingles reflect the heat and slow the wear.
