Asphalt shingles are one of the most commonly used materials for roof replacement due to their color options, styles, warranties, and relatively low cost. Asphalt provides excellent protection in a wide range of environments. We install Asphalt shingles in layers and are then traditionally trimmed with three tabs with each subsequent row overlapping the previous layer by one third. This provides a small gutter effect on each layer of shingles that helps water and melting snow run off the roof, preventing it from seeping underneath. Each shingle usually has a thin bead of tar on the underside which adheres to the upper layer, further sealing them from leaks. An advantage of asphalt shingles is that most Virginia licensed contractors, like Sunshine Contracting, usually offer a guarantee for 20 years and in some instances, up to 30 years.
