ASPHALT ROOFING

Asphalt roofing provides an attractive and weather-tight solution for your home. Asphalt roofing is an affordable and easy solution providing adequate protection at a fraction of the cost of other roofs. Our professional installers and the high-quality materials used offers the most affordable roofing options along with a variety of styles to match the overall aesthetic of your home.

ASPHALT SHINGLES

Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing choice for residential properties. Asphalt shingles come in a variety of styles, colors and textures and are most often found on homes in a flat gray color and rough textured appearance. That does not have to be the case with a HERO CONSTRUCTION GROUP solution with a wide variety of styles and colors offered.

ARCHITECTURAL SHINGLES

Architectural shingles or asphalt-laminated shingles, offer random patterns and various shades. Patterns are created to give an appearance of a more dimensional look, such as slate or wood. Architectural shingles come in various weights and warranties, normally between 30-50 years.

THE BENEFITS OF METAL ROOFING

The higher installation price of a metal roof may be a turnoff for some. However, the long-term benefits of metal roofing include:

• No roof removal: While removing an existing roof is preferred, it is not necessary. We can place it over what’s in place, especially if you have asphalt shingling. This means much less mess to clean up after installation. However, this can cause vapor and water to build up over time.

• Cost-effectiveness: When you compare the life cycle of an asphalt shingle roof of 12 to 20 years to the expected 40- to 70-year lifespan of metal roofing, the higher upfront costs don’t seem so bad. Why settle for 20 years of life when you can get something that lasts twice as long?

• Superior safety: Metal roofing is highly resistant to corrosion, fire, and insects. You’ll never have to worry about termite infestation or your roof catching on fire. You’ll also find that water drains off a metal roof quickly and easily.

• Increased energy efficiency: Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, so your home will stay cooler. This can mean that you save up to 25% on your cooling costs. This is especially helpful in the San Antonio region where we can experience many 100+ degree-days per year.

• Easy upkeep: Maintaining a metal roof isn’t difficult as long as you check its coating regularly and periodically do a look-see for signs of needed repair. To ensure the coating is in good shape, you need to keep the roof free of debris. Then, if you find debris, remove it, and see that the coating may have suffered, a layer of coating on the area will protect against further damage. You can reach out to HERO CONSTRUCTION GROUP and speak with one of our roofing experts to explain this process more thoroughly.

TILE ROOFING

Ceramic tile shingles have also been around for centuries. In Mesopotamia, for example, you can see ceramic tile shingling that is thousands of years old. This type of roofing material will give your home a comforting and cozy look, and it is highly weather and fire-resistant with an average lifespan of 50 to 75 years. In addition, ceramic roofs are impervious to insects and rotting.



Tile shingling does come with disadvantages, including potential fading due to extreme heat and sun exposure, and their proneness to damage from hail and flying debris. Moreover, ceramic shingles are quite heavy and may require extra construction for support, and they are two to three times more expensive than asphalt shingles.
