Architectural Shingle Roofs Are Long Lasting

The affordability of shingles is another reason they are the most popular roofing material on the market today. Shingles are easy to work with, which make for less complicated installations. Fewer complications means less time spent during installation and therefore, lower costs. In addition, many manufacturers offer a warranty on their shingles. These material warranties typically have terms of 25 years, with some having a prorated lifetime warranty. Also, R.I.G. Construction and Roofing offers a 10-year workmanship warranty, on top of the manufacturer's warranty, with all new roof installations.
