So you’re in the market for a new roof on your home? Maybe you’re looking for a new roof on a condo or townhomes? Investing in a new roof isn’t a decision you should take lightly. The truth is, you should probably put more weight into the contractor you choose than the type of shingles you have installed.

However you look at it, installing a new roof on your home is a big step, not to mention a huge investment that you don’t want to be making very often. Here’s where things get difficult: what type of roofing shingles should you go for? It’s quite likely your roofing contractor has provided you with a few different options for shingles. Most people don’t think about the long-term value of roofing shingles. You’d be forgiven if you’re one of them because the initial cost of roofing can be, quite frankly, exorbitant, and overwhelming for some homeowners.

Roof Replacement is something most homeowners will only go through once or twice in the life of their home. However, in Maine we have intense east coast weather systems including heavy rain, snow, hail, and gale force winds. These all rapidly take their toll on your roof.

We all know that a roof is supposed to keep out the elements, but there is much more to the performance of your roof than just the shingles. Your roofing system has many components that all work together in synergy to provide the performance you know and expect from your roof. In this article we’re going to learn about the various components that make up an asphalt shingle residential roofing system and what their specific role is.
