Are Asphalt Roofing Shingles Practical in Phoenix?As one of the more inexpensive roofing materials available, asphalt roofing shingles have caught a bad reputation for having too short a life span, and needing too many repairs. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that most damage done to asphalt roofs is caused by water. Every time it rains, water seeps into each and every little crack between the hundreds of shingles that were put together to form your roof. Over time, this water works its way underneath surrounding shingles, and does its best to get into your home. Here in Phoenix, we have significantly less rain than a lot of other places. With only rare chances to wreak havoc on your roof, it takes rain a lot longer to cause damage.While rain won't cause damage as quickly, that doesn't mean there won't be any need for repairs with asphalt roofing shingles. It's important to regularly check for signs of your asphalt shingles cracking under the intense Arizona sunshine that we're used to. It's also important that your roofing contractor secure the roof shingles in a way where they won't slip if the sun happens to melt them, as does occasionally happen in our climate. Some brands might hold up better than others in the Arizona sunshine - be sure to ask your roofing contractor about whether or not one brand is better than another. Trusting Your Contractor is the KeyIf you've made the decision to use asphalt roofing for your home, you're ready to find a quality contractor who has the know how to install roofing. The state of Arizona requires that all roofing contractors with jobs worth $750 or more must have a license in the state. Each contractor is also required to have a current insurance policy before beginning every job. Without insurance, you could be held responsible for any personal injuries or property damages that occur as a result of any accidents during your roofing installation. Unfortunately, nowadays you can't go by what a contractor tells you. Proof of the license and insurance should always be obtained before entering any agreement of contract. Phone calls should be made to verify the information you are given, and you should always ask for a copy of a recent background check from any contractor you're thinking about hiring.All of this verifying and calling around takes a lot of time - time that many of us just don't have these days.
