Durability and Longevity:  Architectural asphalt shingles are designed to be more durable than traditional three-tab shingles. They are thicker and have a more robust construction, which makes them more resistant to wind, rain, and other harsh weather conditions. This means they can last longer, often up to 30 years or more with proper maintenance.

Aesthetic Appeal: These shingles come in a variety of colors and styles, allowing homeowners to choose a look that complements their home's architecture. They can mimic the appearance of more expensive roofing materials like slate or wood shakes, providing a high-end look without the high-end cost.

Cost-Effectiveness: While they are more expensive than traditional three-tab shingles, architectural asphalt shingles are still relatively affordable compared to other roofing materials like metal or tile. Their durability and longevity also mean that homeowners can save money in the long run on repairs and replacements.

Enhanced Safety and Protection: A new roof ensures that your home is protected from the elements. It can prevent leaks, water damage, and mold growth, which can compromise the structural integrity of your home and pose health risks. Additionally, a new roof can withstand severe weather conditions better than an old, worn-out one.

Improved Energy Efficiency: Modern roofing materials and techniques can improve the energy efficiency of your home. A new roof can provide better insulation, reducing the amount of heat that escapes during the winter and keeping your home cooler in the summer. This can lead to lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment.

Increased Property Value: A new roof can significantly boost the value of your home. It enhances the curb appeal and can make your property more attractive to potential buyers. A well-maintained roof is often a key selling point in real estate transactions.

Roof: High winds, hail, and falling debris can cause significant damage to your roof. Shingles can be torn off, and hail can create dents or punctures, leading to leaks and further structural issues.

Siding: The siding of your home can be damaged by wind-driven debris, hail, and heavy rain. This can result in cracks, holes, and even sections of siding being torn off.

Windows and Doors: Windows and doors are vulnerable to damage from flying debris and hail. They can crack, shatter, or have their seals broken, leading to water infiltration and energy efficiency issues.

Contact Your Insurance Company:  Notify your insurance company as soon as possible to start the claims process. Provide them with the documentation you’ve gathered and follow their instructions for next steps. They will send an adjuster to assess the damage and determine the coverage for repairs.
