Explore Different Types of Shingle Roofs

Roofing is a big decision. You want to make sure you pick the right one for your home and that it's going to last. That's why we're here! We'll help you find the perfect roof, whether it be metal or asphalt shingle, so that way you can rest easy knowing your house will be protected from leaks and other issues. If your home is on an incline, then metals may come in handy because they're lightweight and durable, but what if your house has flat pitches? That's where having an asphalt shingle can help out! They have plenty of different colors and styles that would match any style of architecture from modern to traditional.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs

Asphalt shingles use asphalt for waterproofing Asphalt shingles are among the most used shingle in the US because it has a relatively cheap cost and isn't complicated to install. Their general style is more thick than other shingles and they utilize composition laminated shingle technology, which is a fiberglass mat embedded with an asphalt compound.

3 Tab Shingle Roofs

We specialize in three-tab shingles. They come with a lifetime warranty and are available in many different colors to match your home's exterior. You can have a new roof with three-tab shingles installed without having to replace your entire house! It's perfect if you don't need to upgrade but still want something different from what is on your current roof.

Architectural Shingle Roofs

A less common shingle is the architectural shingle. They have a look similar to wood and the look of laminated composite shingles give your house a welcoming and rustic feel. You can even choose from a wide range of colors for the perfect architectural shingle!

Impact-Resistant Shingles

We know that you're looking for ways to protect your roof from hail and other objects, but we also want to make sure you understand what's out there. Impact-resistant shingles can't be totally protected from hail and other objects, so insurance companies won't pay out on these claims if impact-resistant shingles have shielded the roof from an object like a tree branch. Our opinion is your money would be better saved as deductible rather than paying extra for something you may never need; however some local contractors will try their best to sell it anyways!

Wind Rated Shingles

The Wind Rated Shingles are the perfect solution for homeowners who want to protect their home from high winds. They come in a variety of styles and colors, so it’s easy to find one that matches your house perfectly. These shingles have been tested by wind experts and they can withstand up to 150 mph winds without any damage. You don't need to worry about what will happen if a storm hits while you're away because these shingles are strong enough to keep your family safe at all times. But if you're facing a weather event with higher winds than 150 mph, then you have more to worry about than shingle damage!

High Profile, Scalloped, or Other Shingles

The best roof isn't just one that looks great and lasts long- it's also one you can count on in the event of a storm. You deserve to make an informed decision when choosing your shingles, which is why our team has all sorts for you to choose from! L-shaped ones with scallops or slate lookalikes are just some examples of what we have available right now at affordable prices. The key thing though is making sure they're high profile so they'll be able to weather any storms better than most other options out there today.

How Do You Know If Your Shingle Roof Needs To Be Replaced?

If you have not replaced your roof in the past 15-20 years, it may be time. Most asphalt shingles will last between 15-25 years under optimal conditions. If your roof has had a lot of traffic, leaves, hail, or is poorly ventilated, it can wear out much faster. Most of Iowa has experienced 5-10 hail storms just over the past few years, and this tends to prompt roof replacements. Granules fall off, the asphalt becomes brittle and cracks, high winds can rip the mastic (black sticky stuff) seal apart and tear tabs off the shingle - especially on three-tab roofs. Whatever the reason your roof might be worn out, Cook Roofing Company has a plan to meet your needs - including financing. So call us for a free estimate today at 515-305-3253.

Can You Repair a Shingle Roof on Your Own?

Well, that depends on the state and age of your roof. A newer roof has material with better integrity and can possibly handle a repair without being compromised. A shingle roof is comprised of many components that stick together and seal out the weather. If you go to patch it - especially on an older, brittle roof, you can cause more issues! Your best course of action would be calling Cook Roofing Company for a free estimate. We'll give you honest and thorough advice about your options in repairing or replacing your shingled roof! We'll also help you file your insurance claim, so the only thing you'll have to pay for your roof repair will go towards your deductible!

FAQ

What are Architectural Shingles?
Architectural shingles are a type of asphalt shingle. These shingles are often compared to the other type of asphalt shingle, three-tab shingles, but there are some key differences. Architectural shingles are almost twice as thick as three-tab shingles, making them more durable. They also have a unique look that gives them extra use; you can use the dimensional look to make these shingles look like other materials such as cedar and slate. Architectural shingles also weigh more than three-tab shingles, so they have a higher wind rating of around 80-120 mph.
Are Architectural Shingles Easier to Install?
Architectural shingles are easier to install than other types of shingles. Of asphalt shingles, architectural shingles are not easier to install than three-tab shingles. However, asphalt shingles, on the whole, are easier to install than other premium shingles. Because asphalt shingles are easy to install and have a relatively good density and windproof grade, they are the most popular shingles in use in North America.
Are Architectural Shingles Worth the Cost?
It depends on your roofing preferences. Architectural shingles are a type of asphalt shingle, and they run on the low side of shingle costs, relatively speaking. However, architectural shingles are a more expensive type of asphalt shingle, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come with its perks. They have a decently high windproof rating for an asphalt shingle at 120 mph, so if you live in a region prone to tornadoes or heavy storms, then they're perfect for you. They also a more dense asphalt shingle and will better protect your roof from damage caused by hail, falling tree branches, etc. The lower portion of architectural shingles are laminated and give it a dimensional look that will give your roof more character than your typical asphalt shingle. So, if you think those benefits are something you're looking for, and you want to save money by going with asphalt shingles, then architectural shingles will probably be worth the cost to you.
