ASPHALT SHINGLES
ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFING FROM Family First Construction.
​
The most popular roofing material in America is asphalt shingles, covering more roofs than any other roofing style. Asphalt roofing is easy to install, provides a high level of protection for your home for many years and it is usually the least expensive roofing choice. At Family First Construction we offer a wide variety of asphalt shingle styles and colors that are an affordable option for your Minneapolis roofing system.
​
An asphalt shingle is actually a composite made up of either a fiberglass or rag mat with asphalt, which is covered with colored mineral granules to provide protection and aesthetic value. Asphalt shingles are available in a range of grades - the better the grade the longer the life expectancy, which can range from 15 to more than 30 years. Some of the advantages of an asphalt roof include ease of installation, low maintenance, attractive look, light weight, and affordable cost.
​
There are many companies that install roofs, but not all roof installations are the same. Saving money on the front end could cost big money in the long run. This is where Family First offers exceptional value. We have replaced hundreds of roofs that were improperly installed due to over driven nails, incorrect nail placement, Incorrect overhang on eaves or rakes, incorrect exposure, starter shingles missing or improperly installed, intake/exhaust ventilation improperly calculated or not accounted for at all, flashing missing or installed wrong, Not planning for ice dams and water run off, etc. Overlooking these items could lead to premature replacement of roof at best and at worst could cause additional damage that could cost you much more than you saved by going with a sub par installation. Family First Construction will help you avoid these problems and give you a roof that will keep the elements out for many years to come.
