Top Benefits of a Shingle Roof

A strong and durable roof will help protect your home from the weather that can be crazy here in the Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana region. It’s windy and rainy and cool one day and hot, humid and steamy the next. A properly functioning roof will keep the rain and snow from creating water damage in your home while helping maintain the most comfortable temperature inside for your family.

A shingle roof remains a popular option for homeowners here in the region due to these top benefits:

Low maintenance: Once your shingles are properly in place, you do not have to work to maintain them. There is little maintenance required for shingle roofs, except for occasional inspections as your roof ages or after a particularly heavy hailstorm or windy season. Our team at Berg Home Improvements offers unbiased inspections to help you review your roof’s status and offer advice on what may need to be done to keep your roof working as it should.

Looks good: Shingle roofs are available in a wide range of colors, so that your home can be as unique as you and your family. You can select a color that will complement your home’s overall look and style. If you are wanting to give your home an update, you can change out your roof’s shingle layer and create a whole new vibe.

Costs less: Typically, shingle roofs are less expensive than other roofing materials. Our Berg team can discuss with you your options depending on what your budget is for a new roof.

Environmentally friendly: Shingles are often recycled within the industry by manufacturers, so that there is less waste going into our landfills. Recycled materials are becoming more and more a part of the industry.

Energy efficient: Shingle roofing can help your home stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter along with additional updated areas of your home’s exterior. At Berg, we can review your home’s components and where improvements can be made to boost your energy efficiency level and the comfort of everyone inside.
