Shingles are a lot like floors. The patterns change every few years as well as the colors. When a shingle is installed on a roof it will definitely fade with time. It is best to save some shingle packages from the initial installation to replace any shingles for roof patching in the future. The sun and the heat from the surface of the roof bake a shingle. The oils will eventually bake out and the shingle becomes brittle. If you were to break a corner off a shingle and it is pliable it is still doing well. If it breaks easily than you will find little stones in your rain gutters showing its deterioration. This will than break apart in wind storms.

Will the color of the roof shingles get darker or lighter as time goes by?

The color of roof shingles typically becomes darker over time due to the accumulation of dirt, algae, moss, and other environmental factors. Additionally, UV exposure can cause some shingles to fade, leading to a lighter appearance in certain cases. However, the overall effect is often a darkening as debris builds up. Regular maintenance can help mitigate these changes.

Roof Shingles of Many Kinds?

In the old days, and that may be just a couple of decades ago, roof shingles were just a plain thing. When a new roof was needed, it was replaced because of necessity. There was no real concern about what color it was or what design. Nowadays, that is all changed. Roof shingles have become a very decorative part outside of the house just like the furniture and paintings are inside the house. No matter what the roof shingles are made of, in today’s world they are mostly made to have a UV and a moisture barrier which will prevent leaks. Good roof shingles will also help create good attic ventilation. There are beautiful colors of shingles that make a roof something to look at. The shingles can match any shutters on the home, or offset the color of the siding or bricks used on the home. There are sky blues, bright greens, reds, oranges, and other bright shades. There are also the more neutral colors such as black, taupe, light tan, brown, slate, light and dark grays and even white which can be very dazzling. Some of these colors can be combined together on a roof to make it a very eye-catching appearance. Many of the shingles are actually two or three colors each and this also adds to the beauty of the home. There are even shingles that are more energy-efficient. These shingles will keep the heating and cooling bills down. The shingles are highly reflective which keep the home from being too hot or too cold. The material that is mostly used for roof shingles is asphalt. Slate shingles have been used for a long time, and they are also still used today. The shapes are rectangular, and some are oval-shaped. When the oval shingles are laid on the roof, they overlap each other which give the roof a wood shake look. There are some shingles that are thicker and sturdier for even more protection from the weather over many years. However, a good roofing company will offer a good guaranty for either decades or a lifetime. If your budget is a problem, there are still good roof shingles that can be used without spending a lot of money.

How much time to remove shingles from a roof?

Most Roofing companies will remove the old shingles one day and put your new roof on the next day. If you are doing this yourself, these are heavy and you'll need an easy way to get them into the dumpster so you don't handle them twice and/or damage the plants around your house. Roofers typically have several people up on the roof at one time.


How often should you re-shingle your roof?

There is not a set number of years, but if your roof has multiple leaks, the shingles are asphalt and show signs of curling or buckling, your gutters are full of the granules which cover the asphalt shingles, or you want to give your home a new appearance, then it would be time to check into it.


Can you install dimensional shingles over dimensional shingles?

Any time you layer on top of existing shingles you cut down the life span of the new roof. (Roof gets hotter and so the materials deteriorate faster.) So you may be able to do it (check local codes) but it isn't advisable. If you're looking to save, you may be able to do the tear-off yourself.


Can you place composition shingles over wood shake?

You can, but it is not recommended. It used to be done all the time when asphalt shingles first started to be used. It makes for a lumpy roof and will puncture easier from hail or being walked on.
