Residential Asphalt Roofing
One of the best sources for information on residential asphalt roofing is the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA).ARMA is a trade association that represents the majority of North America's asphalt roofing manufacturing companies, plus their raw material suppliers. In fact, the association includes almost 95 percent of the nation's manufacturers of bituminous-based roofing products. There is plenty of competition for residential roofing material, and what I especially like about the ARMA website is how they compare asphalt to other options, including metal, clay tile, concrete tile, slate, and cedar shake. That comparison of features is available at asphaltroofing.org/resources_steep_chart.html Some of the benefits for asphalt roofing elsewhere on that website include: Wide array of colors
Wide selection of textures
Huge choice of shingle styles
Look like wood, cedar, or slate

Many pricing options
Cost-effective
Value for money
100-year track record in North America
