Materials That Hold Up in Gainesville
Where hail and wind are frequent, Class 4 impact-resistant asphalt shingles are rated to take a strike without cracking, and standing-seam metal shrugs off both. 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.
