Asphalt roofing is one of the most common roofing systems used on homes. It provides dependable protection, straightforward installation, and a variety of style options that match many types of homes.
Modern Exterior provides asphalt roof replacement services for homeowners across Milwaukee and nearby communities. Our team installs durable asphalt roofing systems designed to handle Wisconsin weather conditions and to improve curb appeal.
In many cases, early warning signs appear before a roof reaches the end of its lifespan. Some signs that an asphalt roof replacement may be needed include:
Missing or damaged shingles
Strong winds and aging materials can cause shingles to crack, curl, or blow off.
Frequent roof leaks
Water entering the attic or ceiling often indicates the roofing system is no longer sealed properly.
Granule loss on shingles
As shingles age, the protective granules wear away, leaving the roof more exposed to sun and weather damage.
Sagging or uneven roof areas
Long term moisture exposure or structural issues can lead to visible roof sagging.
Roof age
Most asphalt roofing systems last between 20 and 30 years. Older roofs often benefit from a full asphalt roof replacement.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
Several asphalt shingle options are available when planning an asphalt roof replacement. Each style offers different appearance and performance characteristics.
Three tab shingles
These are traditional flat shingles with a clean and simple design.
Architectural shingles
Also called dimensional shingles, these provide a thicker profile and a more textured appearance.
Luxury shingles
Luxury asphalt shingles are designed to resemble slate or wood roofing materials.
Impact resistant shingles
These shingles are engineered to better handle hail and storm debris.
