What Our Customers Say About Us

What Actually Matters When Choosing an Asphalt Roof

Not all asphalt roofs are created equal.

What impacts performance most isn’t just the brand it’s how the system is designed and installed.

Key factors that affect long-term results include:

  • Shingle durability and resistance to weather exposure

  • Ventilation and airflow within the roofing system

  • Installation quality and attention to detail

Understanding these factors helps you make a decision based on performance not just price.

Repair or Replace? Making the Right Call

One of the most common questions homeowners have is whether to repair or replace their roof.

The answer depends on how widespread the issue is and how the system has aged overall.

If problems are isolated, repairs may be effective. But if wear is consistent across the roof, replacement often provides better long-term value.

The key is understanding the condition of the entire system not just one section.

How to Tell If Your Current Asphalt Roof Needs Attention

Asphalt roofs typically show signs of wear gradually.

Instead of waiting for a leak, it’s important to recognize early indicators such as:

  • Shingles losing granules or becoming brittle

  • Sections lifting or shifting due to wind exposure

  • Repeated issues in the same areas

A proper evaluation helps determine whether a repair is enough or if replacement is the better option.

Find Answers to Your Asphalt Roofing Questions

How long should I expect my new asphalt shingle roof to last in the Massachusetts climate?

A standard architectural shingle roof installed correctly should last between 25 to 30 years. Factors like proper attic ventilation (crucial for Boston winters) and ice dam prevention are key to reaching the maximum lifespan.

Can you still do a roofing job when it’s freezing out, or is it better to wait for a thaw?

Yes, professional installation is absolutely possible in the winter, but it requires a specialized approach.

While standard shingles rely on the sun’s heat to seal themselves, experienced Boston roofers use specific cold-weather techniques to ensure your roof stays weather-tight and your warranty remains valid.

How it works: When temperatures drop, we use hand-sealing (manually applying specialized roofing cement to each shingle) or thermal activation to ensure the adhesive bonds properly. This prevents "blow-offs" during winter storms before the spring sun can permanently seal the roof.

Minor Repairs vs. Full Replacements:

- Minor Repairs: If you have a leak or missing shingles, we recommend fixing it immediately. It is much cheaper to do a cold-weather repair now than to deal with water damage from melting snow later.

- Full Installs: We can perform full replacements in winter, though we generally monitor the forecast for a clear window to ensure safety and material flexibility.

Cost Considerations: You may notice a slight price difference for winter work. This is because cold-weather installs are more labor-intensive, requiring extra time for hand-sealing, specialized adhesives, and additional safety measures to manage ice or snow on the job site.

The Bottom Line: If your roof is failing, don’t feel like you have to wait for spring. We have the equipment and expertise to provide a "warrantied" seal even in the height of a New England winter.

Is it safe or necessary to pressure wash the moss or algae off my asphalt shingle roof?

It is strongly advised against. High-pressure washing can blast off the protective surface granules of asphalt shingles, drastically reducing their lifespan. A safer method is a low-pressure chemical cleaning application designed to kill moss and algae without damage.

How long do asphalt shingles typically last?

The lifespan of asphalt shingles varies depending on the type and quality of the shingle, as well as the climate. Generally, three-tab shingles can last 15-20 years, while architectural shingles can last 25-30 years or more with proper maintenance.

Are asphalt shingles energy efficient?

While not as reflective as metal roofs, some asphalt shingles are designed with reflective granules that help reduce heat absorption. Lighter-colored shingles also tend to be more energy-efficient. Proper attic ventilation and insulation can further enhance the energy efficiency of an asphalt shingle roof.

How do I know if my asphalt shingle roof needs to be replaced?

Signs of a failing asphalt shingle roof include: cracked, curled, or missing shingles; granule loss; leaks in the attic; and visible signs of deterioration. If your roof is nearing or past its expected lifespan, it's advisable to have it inspected by a professional.

What are the different types of asphalt shingles available?

The most common types are three-tab shingles and architectural shingles. Three-tab shingles are the traditional, flat shingles, while architectural shingles are thicker, dimensional shingles that offer a more premium look and enhanced durability.
