Inquiring About Special Roofing Shingles from Kansas City Roof Repair Contractors

Kansas City roof repair companies won’t deny it. Asphalt shingles are an all-time favorite in North America for their long shelf life and reasonable pricing.

Did you know that not every roofing shingle shares identical attributes? Some are remarkably:

  • Algae Proof. This is a nice feature to have especially when your rooftop stays wet much for the most part of the day. Washing the roof can be quite taxing.  Worse, you’ll need to follow a regular cleaning schedule to prevent algae re-growth.

  • Fire Proof. Fire resistant is a better term really because a completely fire-proof roofing system does not exist. You can rest assured though that shingles which have a Class A fire rating will significantly reduce the chances of your home catching a fire.

  • Wind Proof. Again, the “proof” label is a misnomer. No roofing shingle is immune to strong winds but there are special types of shingles that are designed to resist wind damage more effectively. These shingles tend to be the heavier and thicker types. For many Kansas homeowners, the wind-resistant feature is a must.

Don’t hesitate to let your Kansas City roof repair service provider know of your preference.
