Is your Leawood roofing 20+ years old?

Perhaps it’s been 20 years since your last Leawood roofing job. Back then, everyone had cheap, quick and easy three-tab flat shingles. Yet, recent innovations have brought the look of roofing a long way. Today, Missourians all want new, 3-D architectural shingles that come in an assortment of patterns, colors and shades. This style of roofing hides any imperfections caused by inclement weather and has massive curb appeal with its stunning three-dimensional layering illusion.

Why Leawood Roofing Experts Choose Architectural Shingles

Homeowners who like the look of slate, cedar shake or Spanish tile can get the same appearance without the heaviness or high cost with architectural shingles. This style of shingle is also more durable than the old three-tab shingles because they’re made with a heavy base mat and another mat applied on top. Your rooftop will have shadow lines and definition just like the more expensive tile roofs.

What colors and styles do architectural shingles come in?

Architectural shingles offer more different looks than any shingle from the past. You can choose between “bold dark shadows” or “light, reflective shadows” for a number of textures and effects, according to manufacturers. Your roofing may be black, gray, blue, brown, green or red. The blended hues are some of the most popular.

Some colors are even energy efficient by nature. Reflective colors like white or light gray form a protective layer on the home, while promising to last 30 years compared to the usual 20. For example, GAF’s Timberline series offers some of the most popular shades of Leawood roofing, including: Cool Antique Slate, Cool Weathered Wood and Cool Bark Wood. These colors can save homeowners up to 30% off their cooling costs.

Call a roofing professional for a free inspection each year. Sometimes damage can be imperceptible to the untrained eye, but something as small as the loss of granules from a shingle can turn into splitting and the need for a whole new roof years later. If your area has had a severe storm recently, your homeowners’ insurance may cover the damage, so it will cost you nothing to fix the problem.
