Asphalt Shingle Roofing: Why It’s the #1 Choice for Northeast Ohio Homes
When it comes to protecting your home in Northeast Ohio, choosing the right roofing material is critical. With heavy snow in the winter, rainstorms in the spring, and summer heat, your roof needs to be durable and reliable. That’s why asphalt shingle roofing continues to be the most popular roofing option for homeowners in Ashtabula County, Lake County, Cuyahoga County, Geauga County, Trumbull County, and Mahoning County.
As S&K Construction and Remodeling LLC, an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we specialize in asphalt shingle roof replacement, repair, and maintenance. Here’s everything you need to know before choosing your next roof.
What Is Asphalt Shingle Roofing?
Asphalt shingles are roofing materials made of fiberglass or organic mat coated in asphalt and topped with protective granules. They come in a variety of colors and styles, offering both durability and curb appeal.
There are three main types:
✅ 3-Tab Shingles – Budget-friendly and flat in appearance
✅ Architectural / Dimensional Shingles – Thicker, layered, and more durable (MOST POPULAR)
✅ Luxury Shingles – Highest-end appearance, designed to mimic slate or cedar
Most homeowners in Ohio choose architectural shingles because they offer the best balance of cost, durability, and aesthetics.
Why Asphalt Shingles Are Perfect for Northeast Ohio
✅ 1. Affordable & Cost-Effective
Asphalt shingles are one of the most budget-friendly roofing materials. They provide long-lasting protection at a fraction of the cost of metal or slate roofing. Want to know the exact cost? Check our “How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Ohio?” blog (COMING SOON).
