The shorter lifespan for asphalt roofs has to do with how shingles are made. Asphalt contains oil, which allows the shingles to expand and contract with changes in the weather. In our neck of the woods, where we get far more snow and colder temperatures than most of the US, a compromised roof is a big deal. But shingles are now made with less asphalt. Having to replace your roof more often has made affordable roofing in Anchorage, AK, harder to get.
My family has been in Alaska since the 70’s and there have been many changes to this lovely place since then, but the thing that hasn’t changed is our dedication to hard work and integrity, so give us a call and we can chat about your roof!
