Roof Shingles in El Paso
Shingles are the single most popular material in American roofing, and for very good reason. Despite there being hundreds of different types of homes and dozens of roofing options, shingles remain the material of choice for homebuilders and homeowners alike. At Roof Toppers, we’ve dealt with hundreds of shingle roofs, and have gained a pretty strong understanding of why they have become so popular over the decades.
Roof shingles come in many different types, with asphalt shingles being the most popular option. The strong adhesive underneath the shingles makes them resistant to strong gusts of wind, while the asphalt and stone on the front help with rain, snow, and solar rays. Roof shingles are also relatively light, making installation easier and putting less strain on the home’s structure. El Paso is also home to many tile roofs, as they have unique benefits in a Southwestern climate.
All of our main services are applicable to shingle roofs, so we can help with any roofing needs your roof may have. From routine maintenance to a full re roof, the Roof Toppers team can complete the job.
The Benefits of Roof Shingles and Tiles
Roof shingles and tiles are some of the most common roofing materials in the Southwest, mostly because of the properties they have in this climate.
Shingles have taken the United States by storm because they are incredibly affordable and cost-effective. Shingles combine reliability, durability, and great aesthetics. They are formidable against most weather and are relatively easy to install. Shingle roofs typically last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on the type of shingle system.
Tile, like shingles, is a very durable option for homes. Their sturdiness against extreme weather makes them excellent in places that experience a large variance in weather conditions. Tile is typically seen in common Spanish styles, but can now be formed to look like other types of material. Perhaps best of all, tile can last an incredibly long time, sometimes 60+ years with proper maintenance.

Roof Shingle and Tile Tips For Homeowners
Shingles and tiles are very different materials, and tips for properly maintaining them do vary. For both materials, however, scheduling regular maintenance is key to ensuring the roof lasts as long as possible. Roof issues can creep up on homeowners, suddenly becoming huge problems that require expensive repair.
To keep an eye on the integrity of your roof shingles or tiles, you should regularly inspect them from the inside out. This does not mean to physically venture onto the roof but simply look from ground level for any cracks, leaks, or other deficiencies. Checking from the attic (if your home has one) is also an excellent idea, as you may be able to notice sunlight or damage that may indicate issues with your roof. It may also be a good idea to remove hazards like tree limbs that may fall on or puncture your roof, especially for shingle roofs.
If you notice any inconsistencies or damage, be sure to fully document them with notes and pictures so you can have a record for the roofing team and your insurance company if need be.
If your roof is installed or repaired by an expert team like Roof Toppers, it’s unlikely you will notice any serious issues. However, it is important to stay vigilant in the event that something does damage the roof.
