Asphalt shingles are currently the most popular type of residential roof material. They are relatively inexpensive, simple to install, come in a variety of colors and are easy to repair.

There are two basic types: fiber glass and organic. Organic shingles consist of an organic felt (paper) material saturated with asphalt to make it waterproof. A top coating of adhesive is applied and then the colored ceramic granules are embedded. Organic shingles contain 40% more asphalt giving the shingle more weight, durability and blow-off resistance.

I was extremely pleased with the home inspector and with his thorough inspection and reporting. I could not be more satisfied. The realtor, too, was impressed.

Thank you so much. I am greatly appreciative that the home inspector I asked for was willing to schedule an appointment within such a short time frame.

Thanks to everyone involved -- this has been a painless and extremely helpful process -- some of the best customer service I've experienced. The on-line tools are also efficient and helpful.
