Different weather conditions can damage your asphalt shingle roof in different ways. You’ll need to be especially wary of wind damage, which can blow the shingles off your roof and leave the system more prone to water infiltration. But here’s the good news: you can easily avoid these just by making your asphalt shingle roof stronger and more resilient. Just how effectively your roof can manage wind damage is dependent on a few important factors.

How Wind-Resistant Is Your Asphalt Shingle Roof?

Quality of the Asphalt Shingles

The higher the quality of the asphalt shingles, the better they can withstand wind damage. That’s why, if you’re planning to have a new roof system installed this season, it pays to consider your shingles carefully. Asphalt shingles tend to vary in quality, but if you work with Exterior Building Solutions, you’re always sure your choices are top-tier. We represent some of the biggest roofing manufacturers in North America, which include GAF, CertainTeed® and Owens Corning®. Quite a few of the asphalt shingles we offer are highly rated for wind resistance, ensuring the roof material will remain firm and intact no matter how strong the gusts are.

Quality of the Shingle Roof Installation

The best asphalt roof shingles are only as good as their installer, so if you want to get the most out of your wind-resistant shingles, you’ll need to make sure you’re working with an actual professional for their installation. The same thing applies to pretty much any roofing project, including storm damage repair and restoration. Skip the DIY, and jump straight to hiring a dependable roofer like Exterior Building Solutions who has your best interests in mind.

You can count on our skilled roof technicians to install your roof to stringent quality specifications, using only the correct nails and positioning them correctly on the asphalt shingles.
