Why Asphalt Shingles Blister

No one wants to see their roof in distress, especially when the issue is as pesky as asphalt shingle blistering. It’s a problem many homeowners often encounter. Local roofing and siding contractor Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. will dive into what causes asphalt shingles to blister, how it impacts your roof, and what steps you can take to prevent it.

What Are Asphalt Shingles?

Asphalt shingles are a roofing material known for their durability and affordability. They’re composed of a base (either organic or fiberglass) and an asphalt coating topped with mineral granules. They act as your home’s first line of defense against the elements, keeping you and your family safe and dry.

Causes of Asphalt Shingles Blistering

At least three factors contribute to asphalt shingle blistering. First, moisture trapped within the shingle layers can heat up and expand, creating a blister. Second, poor ventilation can cause heat build-up, which can also lead to blistering. Finally, improper installation can trap air or moisture inside the shingle, which can blister when heated.

How Blistering Impacts Your Roof

Blistering can significantly reduce your roof’s lifespan, efficiency, and appearance. As blisters break open, they can expose the base material, increasing the likelihood of leaks. If left untreated, this could eventually necessitate a roof replacement.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
