If you want to install fairly cheap but durable roofing, then asphalt might be something for you. In fact, asphalt shingles roofs are among the most common.
Installation and removal is very easy. You could even leave your old shingles and just install a layer of new shingles on top of them.
If well maintained, an asphalt shingle roof will last about 20 years, but there are some conditions that will severely lessen that time.
Mold or moss growing on your roof will quickly eat away at the shingles, and your first step in preventing this is to keep water from accumulating on the roof.
Clear away leaves and branches that might fall on the roof, and cut back any trees that hang over the roof. If you already have moss or mold growing, you need to clean it away to keep it from spreading.
Asphalt shingles come in many different colors, so if you want to make sure that it matches your siding, this is fairly easy to do.
