One of the most popular types of roofing materials in Florida is the shingle. They can be made out of tile, slate, or even wood, but the most common type you\u2019ll find are fiberglass-based asphalt shingles.<\/p>\n
Here are 4 reasons why shingles are such a popular choice here in Florida.<\/p>\n
Asphalt shingles are one of the most affordable options of roofing materials. The product itself is cheap to produce. It is lightweight, so it isn\u2019t costly to distribute. Plus, it is easy to install, so manpower and installation material costs also run low. They also require far less support than many other types of roofing materials, especially heavy clay tiles. <\/p>\n
In addition to being inexpensive to produce, transport, and install, shingles are cost-efficient to maintain and repair or replace. If a small portion of the roof is damaged, and it is addressed quickly, the damaged area can often be replaced without affecting the shingles around it. A dislodge shingle is also a far smaller threat than a loose clay tile, as it will do very little damage on its way down.<\/p>\n
