Many people challenge us this question, "How do we extend the life span of our shingle roof?" There is not one specific answer for this question, as a matter of fact there are a few secrets you can follow that will extend your shingle roof life expectancy.
When deciding to purchase shingles never buy off branded materials and no 25 year 3 tab grap. That's just a waste of money and the better shingles that usually last an extra 8 years longer only cost an addition $8-$12 dollars per 100 square feet. Quality usually speaks with the actually thickness of the shingle. Please don't pay attention to the sale strategy of the name just look at the thickness and weight per square feet. A high definition Architectural also called Dimensional shingle usually is a good choice. Dimensional shingles usually last 20 years easily with proper installation. Whoever you have to position the shingles must have some sorts of experience, if not you will pay for the project over again and the next time around it might cost more. So do yourself a favor and get acquainted with the actual crew not only the company. Now let's talk about preservation. "Do Not pressure clean roof shingles." When you pressure clean shingles with a pressure washer you're breaks away the bonded material between the fiberglass, granules and tar. There are many organic materials that you can use that will wash off with a normal pressure from a water hose. No chlorine base or salt base material either, that will just rust the nails and tin tabs after a while.
