Asphalt shingles are the most common type of roofing. And like all types of roofing material, they must meet certain standards. They must possess a certain degree of resistance to puncture, softening and tearing. They must also meet other standards, such as waterproofing, fire resistance and resistance to nail pull through as well as how well they perform in wind.

• Organic asphalt shingles should meet ASTM D225, "Standard Specification for Asphalt Shingles (Organic Felt) Surfaced With Mineral Granules."
• Fiberglass asphalt shingles should meet ASTM D3462, "Standard Specification for Asphalt Shingles Made from Glass Felt and Surfaced with Mineral Granules."

Keeping your roof in good repair is the most important thing you can do for your home. The roof of your house is more than just a roof over your head. It not only protects everything inside; it protects your home from rain, snow, ice and hot sun. It's as important, or more important, than siding or house paint.
Keep an eye on the condition of your roof. While any change of season is a good time to evaluate the condition of your roof, the best times are early fall or late summer. This gives you enough time to make the necessary repairs before the arrival of winter weather while, at the same time, providing for longer days with maximum sunshine.

Your roof is perhaps the most important part of your home. When it is strong it protects your family and possessions and keeps the rain out. When it is weak, a simple storm can lead to thousands of dollars in damage that could take a very long time to repair, not to mention the loss to what is under your roof. All the work, time and effort that you put into making the interior of your home livable and beautiful could be lost. That's why, when you need roofing work, it's important to find the best roofing company in Dallas, TX.

So, have your roof checked periodically by a qualified Dallas roofing company to ensure that you catch those little points of damage that can happen to any roof, before they become big problems.
