Asphalt Shingle Roofing for Your Home
Asphalt shingles are overlapping layers of fiberglass-reinforced, asphalt-coated tiles with a granule surface, and they cover most pitched roofs on Bronx houses. How a shingle roof performs depends on the whole system beneath it, not just the shingles you see.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
Benefits of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
- Widely available and familiar to most contractors and suppliers.
- Repairable one section at a time, without disturbing the whole roof.
- A range of styles and colors to suit almost any home.
- Budget-friendly compared with metal or tile roofing.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
Installation builds the whole system: deck, drip edge, underlayment, ice and water barrier where needed, starter course, shingles, flashing, and ridge ventilation. Bronx winters call for careful attention to sealing and ice protection at the eaves.
Asphalt Shingle Repair
Repair means removing damaged or missing shingles, checking the underlayment and deck beneath, and installing new shingles with proper fasteners and sealant strips. Worn flashing is replaced rather than smeared with sealant.
Asphalt Shingle Replacement
When wear is widespread, we remove the old covering, repair the deck, and install new underlayment, flashing, and shingles as one system. See roof replacement for how the full process works.
How Long Do Asphalt Shingles Last?
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 15 to 30 years, depending on the shingle grade, installation quality, ventilation, and exposure to sun, wind, and coastal weather. Regular maintenance helps you get the full lifespan out of your roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between three-tab and architectural shingles?
Three-tab shingles are a single layer cut into flat tabs, while architectural shingles bond multiple layers into a thicker, dimensional product. Architectural shingles are heavier and more widely used on newer roofs.
How long do asphalt shingles last in the Bronx?
Most last 15 to 30 years, depending on the shingle grade, installation quality, and exposure to sun, wind, and coastal weather. Ventilation and maintenance play a big role too.
Can I put new shingles over old ones?
Sometimes, but it depends on the roof structure, local codes, and how many layers are already there. A tear-off is often the better choice, and we can tell you which applies to your roof.
Do dark streaks on my shingles mean damage?
Not necessarily. Dark streaks are often algae, which mainly affects appearance, though moss holds moisture and can lift shingles. We can tell which you have and suggest options that will not harm the roof.
Does my roof need better attic ventilation?
Most pitched roofs need balanced intake and exhaust ventilation to move heat and moisture out of the attic. Poor ventilation can shorten shingle life and damage the deck.
What causes granules to collect in my gutters?
Shingles shed some granules as they age, which is normal in small amounts. Heavy granule loss points to a surface that is wearing out and worth a closer look.
