Homeowners should consider their roofs

Home improvement season is in full swing. One area to remember to check during a home evaluation is the roof.

With advanced technologies, ventilation needs, options for shingles or alternative roofs, and multiple warranty options, there’s much for the consumer to consider.

“Asphalt shingles are the faster, more affordable solution for Pittsburghers,” said Diane Ireland of Ireland Contracting in Glenshaw. “Install is easier and comes in an array of colors to complement your house; you can get almost any aesthetic appeal that would perfectly suit your home style and décor.”

Current trends in roofing have deviated from years past. People are moving more toward architectural shingles, Ireland said.

Architectural shingles are the updated version of the three-tab shingles from the ’70s and ’80s.
