Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Upper Merion, Pennsylvania

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

Signs Your Upper Merion 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 Upper Merion 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 Upper Merion

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
