Shingle Roofs

Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material. They are the most budget-friendly option for a roof replacement and many high quality options exist which can add a modern upgrade to your home.

Reshingle your home without any added stress by working with the experienced contractors at Kairos Roofing. Shingle roofs are the most popular style of roof in South Florida, thanks to their ability to be customized via different colors and styles. The average lifespan of this roof type is 10 to 12 years; however, Kairos Roofing has options that carry up to a 50 year warranty.

Pros of Shingle Roofs

Shingle roof pros and cons should be part of your vetting process when considering the best roof for your home. There are many perks to having this type of roof on your home, whether you’ve got a classic ranch home or a multistory Mediterranean-style home. Asphalt shingle roofs are:

• Most affordable roofing material.
• Easier to install and repair than tile or metal.
• Durable.
• Low maintenance.
• Available in a wide range of colors and styles.

Cons of Shingle Roofs

Reshingling your roof has some drawbacks too, however. We always make sure to discuss the downsides of installing each roof type to aid in your decision making process. For example, roofs constructed of shingles tend to be:

• Less resistant to mold and algae than other styles.
• Not as long-lasting as other types of roofs.
• Less likely to hold up to strong winds, compared to alternatives.

Shingle Roof Costs

A shingle roof replacement can range in price depending on several factors, including your home’s square footage and the shingle style and design. The pricing is also impacted by the complexity of your home’s design and other elements, such as vents, pipes, skylights – and the rare South Florida chimney.

Our expert contractors will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your needs, then create a detailed estimate to explain the costs associated with each aspect of your specific project. Our shingle roof service can also include add-ons, such as:

• Roof flashing repair.
• Insulation.
• Gutters.
• Hurricane straps.

Shingle Roofs and South Florida Climate

As shingle roof specialists, we know that both the climate and weather are important factors for a homeowner to consider when choosing the best type of roof for a home. For instance, keep in mind asphalt shingles tend to absorb more heat than other types of roofs, which can translate to warmer temperatures inside your home.

In addition, residential roofs made of shingles are not naturally resistant to mold and algae, but our Kairos Roofing professionals can install special algae-resistant shingles that can stand up to South Florida’s humid weather. It is also important to note that shingle roofs do not contain as high of a wind rating as other types of roofs, which may make them less secure during a hurricane or tropical storm.

Shingle Roof Durability

Shingle roofs are the most popular choice among South Florida homeowners for a reason: they are both affordable and durable. Additionally, asphalt shingle roofs are easy to maintain, especially when performed by knowledgeable and skilled roofers. Ask about Kairos Roofing’s 50 year shingle roof warranty.

Shingle Roof Aesthetics

Our expert shingle roofing contractors can help you achieve the desired aesthetic for your home, no matter your style preference. Redoing your roof with shingles is also a great way to change the overall look of your home if you are not happy with the current color scheme, or if you are trying to create a more appealing house for potential buyers.

Shingle roofs have a classic, unobtrusive look, and can be installed in an array of colors and styles. Options range from rich, autumn browns to cool, antique slates and even trendy colors. As a Design Build Firm, we can offer up-to-date recommendations and order color samples to help you choose the right option for your home.
