Roofing Comparisons
Which roof is right for your home? The answer depends on the size of your home, shape and pitch of your roof, available substructure, budget and personal preference. Russell Roofing’s experts will guide you through the process of choosing the best roofing option for your needs.
In the meantime, here is a review of the roofing materials and systems most commonly installed by Russell Roofing.
ASPHALT SHINGLES
Asphalt roofs show their age when the mineral granules wear off, reveal the black asphalt and the corners and edges of the shingles begin to curl and crack. This is an indication that the asphalt composition has begun to dry out and lose its weatherproof seal. When only a few shingles show the above type of wear, the simple and less costly replacement of worn out shingles may be all that is needed. If one out of every five to ten shingles shows this wear and aging, it is may be time to re-roof.

WOOD SHINGLES AND SHAKES
As wood shingles and shakes age they may shrink and form gaps between each shingle. They may also become brittle and offer less protection from the elements. This is why the installation of the materials is critical because repairs on a cedar roof can be difficult to impossible. Get it done right the first time. That’s why we say, “If It’s Russell, It’s Right, Guaranteed!”
