FAQ

We specialize in asphalt shingle and metal roofing installations and repairs. Whether you’re replacing an old roof or fixing damage, our experienced team will help you choose the right material for your home. Each roofing type offers unique benefits, and we’ll walk you through what fits your needs and budget best.

Asphalt shingles are affordable, easy to install, and available in many colors and styles, making them a popular choice for homeowners. Metal roofs cost more upfront but offer longer lifespans, energy efficiency, and better resistance to harsh weather. We’ll assess your property, goals, and budget to help you make the best choice.

Asphalt shingle roofs typically last 20 to 30 years with proper maintenance, while metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years. The actual lifespan depends on factors like installation quality, weather exposure, and upkeep. With A1 Roofing’s commitment to high-quality work, you can expect long-term performance from any roof we install.
