FAQs
What are composite shingles and why are they popular for homes in Delano?
Composite shingles are roofing tiles made from a blend of asphalt, fiberglass, and recycled materials. They mimic the look of traditional shingles while offering improved durability, fire resistance, and color retention. In Delano’s climate—where summers can be hot and winters cold—composite shingles perform well by expanding and contracting without cracking, making them a favorite among local homeowners.
How long can I expect a composite shingle roof to last in Delano?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, composite shingle roofs typically last 25–35 years in Delano. Factors such as quality of the shingle, attic ventilation, and exposure to extreme weather can affect lifespan. Many manufacturers back their products with warranties of 30 years or more, giving homeowners added peace of mind.
Are composite shingles able to withstand Delano’s weather, including high winds and occasional hail?
Yes. Most composite shingles are rated to withstand winds up to 110–130 mph and many carry Class 4 impact resistance, the highest rating for hail performance. Their fiberglass reinforcement makes them flexible yet strong, which helps prevent cracking under sudden temperature changes and hail impacts common to Delano’s spring storms.
How much does a composite shingle roof cost in Delano?
Costs vary by shingle grade, roof complexity, and labor rates, but most composite shingle installations in Delano range from $4 to $7 per square foot, all‐inclusive. Premium designer styles or upgraded impact‐resistant shingles can push prices higher. We offer free on‐site estimates to give you an exact figure based on your home’s unique dimensions and desired shingle line.
What kind of maintenance does a composite shingle roof require?
Maintenance is minimal compared to other roofing types. We recommend an annual inspection each spring or after major storms to spot loose or missing shingles, clear debris from valleys and gutters, and check flashing around chimneys and vents. Promptly replacing damaged shingles and keeping gutters clean will maximize the roof’s service life.
Can composite shingles improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Absolutely. Many composite shingles are available in “cool roof” versions that reflect more solar radiation, helping keep attic temperatures lower during Delano’s hot summers. Improved attic ventilation paired with these reflective shingles can reduce air-conditioning costs and make indoor spaces more comfortable year-round.
