Materials That Hold Up in Ames
For ordinary wear, architectural asphalt shingles handle wind better than basic 3-tab and last 25 to 30 years, while metal pays off over a 40-plus year life. Sound underlayment and proper attic ventilation through the ridge vent and soffit keep the deck dry and protect the manufacturer warranty. A local roofer can measure your square footage and pitch and match materials to your budget.
