asphalt roofs here seem to last 10 years if your lucky.... looks wise your dreamin. The only, and I repeat ONLY reason I can figure guys put em on is because it is the cheapest thing to throw up there. Any church here with metal or wood shakes has lasted at minimum 5-7 times longer......for not quite twice the upfront cost. Church I attended as a kid was torn down after 125 years with original shakes up top. Long story short, im not a fan of shingles, hate em............ One mans opinion, rest of my clan loves em, I realize Im in the minority. If this property is something you or your familly will always own, put a metal roof or shakes up there, then let your grandkids kids worry about replacing it! |
