Asphalt Roofing Asphalt Roof Installation & Cost In The Minneapolis-St.Paul, MN, Area
There are a lot of different options when it comes to roofing. It's important to educate yourself on the pros and cons before you make a decision. One material you should be sure to consider is asphalt shingles. Asphalt roofs are far and away the most popular choice among homeowners. The affordability and great value continues to give asphalt shingles the edge over other materials. They are designed to last decades with minimal upkeep and the asphalt composition technology only keeps improving.

What are the different types of asphalt shingles?
3-Tab Shingles -Â One-piece, single-layer 3-tab asphalt shingles are the lightest weight asphalt shingles as well as the most economical option.
Architectural Shingles -Â Also known as dimensional or laminated shingles, architectural shingles are the most common shingles. These shingles are manufactured with 2 or more layers fused for a thicker and more pronounced appearance.
Designer Shingles - Designer shingles are designed to replicate the appearance of a slate or cedar roof at a fraction of the cost. Designer shingles feature the best quality, depth, and appearance. These shingles can weigh twice as much as a 3-tab shingle offering premium protection to your home.
Before we can begin installing, we must first complete the tear off down to the roof decking. Then we make sure the roof decking is dry, clean, and smooth to ensure the new roof will perform to standard.
Once the decking's prepared, we can begin layering the roof. The asphalt shingles are the visible part of your roof, but several layers are at work beneath the shingles. Starter, ice and water, drip edge, and underlayment all work together to create a water-shedding system, preventing issues such as leaks and ice dams.
Next, we need to cover the joints, valleys, and roof penetrations. These high-risk areas require metal flashing installation to protect and direct water downslope. Roof valleys can be closed or open. Closed valleys are covered in shingles. Open valleys, which we recommend, are lined with valley metal. Open valleys decrease the risk of water backing up underneath the shingles.
Afterward, it is finally time to begin installing the asphalt shingles. Many asphalt shingles will have different exposures, spacing, and nailing areas. Our installers are trained to the manufacturer's specifications on all asphalt shingles. Once the shingles are on, the last step is to install hip and ridge caps across the hips and ridges of the roof.
Now that you have a general idea of the steps required in an asphalt roof installation, you can better understand the process and what to expect from your roof installation.
