ROOFING

Your home’s roof has to firstly perform the important function of defending the structure, keeping you and your family dry, safe and protected from moisture and harsh weather. Although it’s possible to have a flat roof, a residential roof is often sloped to a degree that is fitting to the local climate. By opting for a more energy efficient roof solution, you can not only improve your home’s thermal comfort with more passive measures (reducing the need for extra utilities), but also can save money as well.

These shingles are often composed of multi-layer, laminated shingles made of water resistant asphalt.
