The Benefits of Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are a favorite among homeowners for good reason. Their combination of affordability, resilience, and aesthetic versatility makes them one of the most reliable roofing materials available. Asphalt shingles stand up to Minnesota’s extreme seasonal changes, from icy winters to hail-filled springs and hot summers, while offering plenty of style options to match your home’s exterior.

  • Curb Appeal and Energy Efficiency: Asphalt shingles can improve the overall look of your home while helping regulate indoor temperatures, potentially even reducing strain on your HVAC system.
  • Durability with a Design Upgrade: Architectural asphalt roof shingles provide added durability against wind, hail, and heavy snow, which is ideal for the unpredictable climate in the Midwest.
  • Restored Protection After Storm Damage: A professionally installed asphalt roof protects your home from the elements while increasing overall resale value.

Asphalt Roofing FAQs

How long does an asphalt shingle roof last?

The typical asphalt shingle roof life expectancy ranges from 20 to 30 years, depending on the product and maintenance. Architectural shingles tend to last longer than standard three-tab styles.

How much does an asphalt shingle roof cost?

Asphalt shingle roof costs vary based on home size, shingle type, and installation complexity. MEI offers free, no-obligation estimates to help you plan your budget confidently. Reach out today for your free estimate.

How to clean an asphalt shingle roof?

You can use a 50/50 water mix and bleach (or specialty roof cleaning solution) to remove algae or moss gently. Apply with a sprayer, let sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with a hose, but never use a power washer. You can always refer to a local home improvement cleaning service as well.

Can asphalt roof shingles be painted?

Yes, but it’s not recommended. Painting can void warranties and may shorten the shingles’ lifespan. Replacement is usually the better long-term option.

What are asphalt shingles made of?

Most asphalt shingles consist of a fiberglass or organic base, coated in asphalt, and topped with protective granules for durability and UV resistance.
