Why Do Homeowners in Goshen Choose Asphalt Shingles?
Homeowners in Goshen often choose asphalt shingles because they are widely available, work on many residential roof shapes, and offer several price and style options. On Goshen homes, the shingles shed rain and snow, while the underlayment and flashing help keep water out at roof joints and openings.

How Do Asphalt Shingles Age on Goshen Homes?
On Goshen roofs, as asphalt shingles age, they can lose granules, become brittle, and stop sealing tightly to the row below. Granule loss, brittle edges and failed adhesive strips tell us more about a roof in Goshen than shingle color does. Winter weather can also affect a roof in Goshen because melting snow can refreeze near roof edges and valleys.
When Should You Install a New Asphalt Shingle Roof in Goshen?
You should consider a new asphalt shingle roof in Goshen when the shingles are brittle, leaks keep returning, many shingles no longer seal, or several areas need repair. For a roof in Goshen, the roof's condition matters more than its age alone.
What Is an Asphalt Shingle Made Of?
A typical asphalt shingle used in Goshen has a fiberglass mat, asphalt coating, mineral granules and a seal strip. The fiberglass, asphalt, granules and seal strip give shingles installed in Goshen strength, water resistance, surface protection and a secure bond to the row below.

What Does Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Goshen Include?
The asphalt-shingle installation scope in Goshen includes extra attention at exposed edges and ridges, new or rebuilt flashing, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and inspection of the wooden roof deck.
The Goshen installation also includes flashing and seals around roof openings, wind-resistant shingle fastening, and waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges.
After we remove the old roofing in Goshen, we photograph any damaged roof decking. Before replacing damaged wood on a roof in Goshen, we explain the added cost.
These are some of the installation details we focus on for Goshen homes:
- Wind rating matched to the house: Shingles are rated for a wind speed, and the right rating depends on how exposed your house is rather than on the city it sits in. We set it from your own site.
- Full tear-off to bare wood: Every layer comes off, including any second roof laid over the first. Tear-off is the only moment anyone gets to see the wood your roof is fastened to.
- Decking repaired before anything goes on: On a house built around 1976, finding a few soft boards is normal rather than a surprise. We photograph them, price them with you, and replace them so the new roof has something solid to fasten to.
- Architectural shingles as standard: Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than the flat three-tab type, last longer, and hold their wind rating better. They cost a little more and are worth it here.
- Underlayment across the whole deck: Underlayment is a water-resistant layer between the wood and the shingles. It catches whatever gets past a shingle that has lifted or broken.
- Ice-and-water membrane at the eaves: A waterproof membrane runs along the bottom edge of the roof, where snow melts and refreezes and pushes water back up under the shingles.
The shingle is the part you choose and the part you can see. Everything underneath it is what decides whether the roof reaches the life it is rated for, which is why we specify all of it in writing before we start.
