Composition Roofing
A standard asphalt shingle roofing installation in the Dallas area is still the right choice for many homeowners. Composition shingles have been the standard roofing choice for decades, and are still the most popular roofing material in the United States, despite the rise of residential metal roofing in recent years.
How Composition Roofing Works
What is a composition roof? Composition roof shingles and asphalt roof shingles are the same thing: they are both a composition product made of layers of fiberglass matting, asphalt, and mineral granules. These materials act together to create a durable, flexible, and waterproof shingle. The fiberglass mat provides strength and reinforcement, while the asphalt and granules provide durability.

While the higher-end composition shingles are of higher quality and last longer, all composition shingles do deteriorate over time. Heat damage breaks down compounds in the asphalt, leaving them vulnerable to cracking, peeling, and shrinking. In general, a good composition or asphalt shingle roofing installation in the Dallas area should last 10 to 20 years before it needs to be replaced.
