In Reply to: Shingle Quality posted by CGID on June 18, 2014 at 19:08:57:
The overall quality of roof shingles has fallen through the floor. Even buying higher priced thirty year shingles does not mean you will get them to last near that long. I see and hear of roofs that are not making it much past 10 years regardless of the shingle quality installed.
I am leaning towards steel of some type for my next roofing needs. There is the old traditional sheet style or the new segment/block style. It seems that the steel roof is holding up much better than shingles do now days. I think that the environmentally "safe" materials do not hold up as well as the materials allowed to be used in the past.
IF you can afford it the best is still standing seam roofing. I know of roofs that are over 100 years old that are steel standing seam roofing. I have read about some copper standing seam roofs that are centuries old.
So my vote would be to skip the shingles and go with some type of steel roofing.
