After the Snow Storm: Asphalt Shingles Rocking the Winter Look

If you’re a homeowner concerned about the condition of your roof, a snow storm doesn’t exactly settle nerves.

Let’s talk about asphalt shingles, what happens post-snowstorm, and how your shingles, paired with proper insulation and ventilation, handle the winter scene.

1. Why Asphalt Shingles?

   • Serving as a reliable shield for homes, these shingles come in an array of styles and colors, offering both affordability and functionality. Elevating not just the look but the protection of your home, especially during Winter storms, asphalt shingles prove to be a practical and stylish roofing solution for families looking for both durability and aesthetic appeal.

2. Quick Installation for Minimal Disruption:

   • The swift and straightforward installation of asphalt shingles minimizes disruption, allowing homeowners to enjoy the cozy warmth of their home. Typically, an average size residential roof can be replaced in as little as one day, allowing you to get back to enjoying your home, comfortably throughout the winter months.

3. Routine Inspections:

   • Underneath those asphalt shingles, there's a warm home waiting for you, as long as your roofing system is functioning properly. Regular maintenance can fend off potential issues like damage, ice dams, and leaks, ensuring your roof stays in top-notch shape. Keep an eye out and keep it clear from debris, and your asphalt shingles will provide lasting durability and protection for your home.

4. The Dynamic Duo: Insulation and Ventilation Tag Team:

• Adequate insulation prevents heat loss, maintaining a cozy interior and preventing the formation of ice dams. Meanwhile, effective ventilation ensures a balanced airflow, reducing the risk of condensation and supporting the overall durability of the roof structure.

After the Storm:

1. Inspecting from the Ground Up:

   • Take a stroll around your home after the snow settles. Check for any inconsistent areas where the snow has melted. Document with photos and show them to a professional roofer when the snow has melted and the roof is clear and dry for a complete and thorough inspection.

2. Get Proactive:
