Shingles are the most popular roofing material in the U.S., primarily because they are less costly than other materials, they look great on almost all house types, and are easier to maintain than other roofs.
If you’re thinking of building a new house, or considering replacing your roof, you need to talk to your trusted Charleston roofers about your choices of shingle types. To help you make an informed decision, CMS Roofing offers these suggestions featuring GAF roofing shingles. Apart from getting the best functionality and curb appeal from using the right type of shingles, you will also have a higher likelihood of raising the value of your home.
