Asphalt Shingles x Composite Shingles
Asphalt Shingles have low cost and a pretty easy installation, and that’s why over the years it has become very popular on the roofing market.
Nevertheless, Composite Shingles are becoming more popular because of their long lifespan.
Asphalt Shingles are built either with a paper or fiberglass cover with a sheet of asphalt on top.
Composite Shingles are usually created with a combination of elements, such as slate, laminate, wood, etc.
The low-cost option is the asphalt shingles, which usually vary between one-half to one-third of the cost of the composite shingles.
