Materials That Hold Up in Flint
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.
