Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Elmhurst, Illinois

Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Elmhurst means roofing built for the Illinois climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The Illinois heat and the humidity feed the algae and the moss on the shaded slopes, and the tree debris coats the surface.

Signs Your Elmhurst Roof Needs Asphalt Shingle Roofing

• Curled or cupped shingles - the sun has dried the asphalt
• Algae-damaged surface - the humidity has worn the granules
• Granules in the gutters - the shingle surface is wearing away
• Storm-lifted shingles - the wind has pulled the edges
• The roof is over 15 years old - the replacement age in the heat

Why Elmhurst Roofs Need Asphalt Shingle Roofing

The cost is the main reason. The asphalt shingle is the most affordable roofing material. The replacement roofs use the impact-rated architectural shingles for the balance of the cost and the performance.

The technology is the second reason. The modern architectural shingles include the algae resistance, the UV protection, and the impact rating.

How We Do Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Elmhurst

3. Install the drip edge - the metal edge at the eaves and the rakes
4. Lay the shingles - the impact-rated architectural shingles with the proper overlap
