Choosing A Roof


Choosing a roof


Picking a new roof is not as complicated as you would think. Whether it will be a new construction or just replacing an existing roof, we will go over some of the different types of shingles and even compare metal roofs. Here at Grier Roofing in Spartanburg, SC we want to make the decision as easy as possible for you.

Shingles

There are few different types of shingles but we will go over some of the most common ones.  First we will discuss 25yr 3 tab.

3 Tab Shingles (25year)

3 Tab Shingle
3-Tab shingles are Fiberglass Asphalt Construction with a 25 year ltd transferable warranty.  Also has a 60 mph ltd wind warranty as well. These are good shingles and still a popular choice today.





Architectural Shingles

Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles, sometimes referred to as 30 year, are the most popular choice these days for roofing.  Architect shingles have a limited lifetime warranty and plenty more of colors to choose from than the 3 tab. They also have a wind warranty of up to 130 mph. And architect also have stainguard to prevent algae discoloration.

So now that we’ve discussed shingles let’s look at metal roofing.

Metal Roofing 

Metal roofing is becoming a very popular choice now, but it is pricier than just a shingle roof.  As in the architectural shingles, metal roofing has a limited lifetime warranty as well. The interlocking panels on metal roofing provide maximum wind resistance.  There is also many styles to choose from and can match your house beautifully.  There are some myths about metal roofing, they will not affect cell phone use in your house and they do not attract lighting. And during a rainstorm you will not hear the pinging from the rain drops.
