Los Angeles Roof Shingles

One of the most attractive features of asphalt roofing shingles is the price. At the time of installation, the cost of a new asphalt shingle roof averages around five thousand dollars, as opposed to the roughly thirty thousand dollars required to install a new metal roof - the cost of tile is often far higher than that. Obviously these prices will change depending on how large your roof surface is, but with prices that different from each other it's easy to see how for some homeowners, asphalt roofs are the only reasonable option.

The drawbacks to asphalt shingle roofing include a shorter life span, averaging around 15-20 years, and more frequent repairs. On the other hand, you don't necessarily have to know how to install roofing to make a few minor repairs to a shingled roof. Often times it takes little more than a trip to the hardware store, and perhaps a little common sense, to figure out how to patch small areas. We certainly don't recommend trying to install a whole new roof without the proper training, though. For larger jobs that will require more than a handful of shingles, it's best to call upon a qualified roofing contractor.
