Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Architectural Asphalt Shingles?
When it comes to roofing, adding a new layer of shingles over existing ones is not recommended. Not only do old nails start backing out and damaging the fresh material, but additional layers can put too much strain on the structure itself – often designed for single-layer support alone! Before taking on any projects involving multiple layers of shingle roofs, ensure your property meets all safety codes first.
How should I prepare for installation?
Before your roofing contractors get to work, take a few steps in preparation. Clear any outdoor furniture that is blocking their access and remove items from walls or shelves mounted on the wall; vibrations during construction can cause them to fall. If necessary, cover attic contents with tarps so dust and debris won’t disturb them while the installation takes place!
