The roof on your shed may not be an issue you think much about when you’re working on plans to put a new outbuilding in your backyard, but it should be.
Think about your home — if the roof is subpar, eventually the materials will break down and leave the rest of the structure vulnerable to the elements. The same goes for your shed.
A quality shed roof should easily perform three central functions:
A low-quality design and cheap materials will give your shed roof none of these key characteristics.
Architectural shingles are a popular choice for homeowners when it’s time for a re-roofing project, and there is a good reason for that. This kind of shingle is one of the most durable, enhancing its cost-effectiveness. They also give a superior look to any roof.
Since architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than regular asphalt, they provide better protection — more so than traditional three-tab shingles.
If architectural shingles loosen or come off, it’s an easy repair. The same can’t be said if serious damage is inflicted on a metal roof. Ongoing maintenance costs are minimal or nonexistent for architectural shingles, and the shed roof will stay in good condition for decades.
If you have architectural shingles on your home’s roof, installing them on your shed will make your outbuilding match — that’s a nice touch.
One of the prime features of architectural shingles is their extended warranty. When installed by a professional and guaranteed by the manufacturer, you will usually get a 30-year warranty to cover any failings in the make or installation. Spending a bit more than you would on standard shingles delivers a big payoff. Enjoy years of peace of mind that your investment is sound.
