Owens Corning Shingles: A Good Choice for Roof Upgrades?

Asphalt shingles first came to the U.S. between 1903 and 1939. People were buying about 11 million squares of them every single year. These tough and cheap roofing options helped more families buy and build homes all across the country during the big housing boom that happened afterward.

Businesses have kept making shingles better over the years, always trying to get more customers interested in their products. One company stands out from the rest and you might want to check out what they offer. That company is Owens Corning. They make some highly rated shingles that could work wonderfully for your roof and they come with some interesting extras too. Think about why their shingles could be a good fit for your home!

These days, rising energy bills are something every homeowner has to manage.

A new roof can add real value to your home. If you’re looking to sell, having this big repair already taken care of saves you both worry and money down the road.
