Here’s what’s been trending in the AskARoofer newsroom. 

Looking at our most-read articles from last month, it’s clear that our readers still love the look of a classic asphalt roof. One of our top articles came to us from the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) where they highlight the silver award-winning roof in their 2023 Excellence in Asphalt Roofing Awards Program. This waterfront home’s roof boasts an impressive pitch of 12:12 and above with a beautiful gray asphalt roof. 

With winter around the corner, our building owner readers are very interested in maintaining their roofs during the colder months. A popular article from last month was a piece that thoroughly outlines a maintenance routine all commercial building owners can benefit from. From deep cleaning tips to inspections to quality material insights, this article has it all! 

Composite roofing is a highly regarded topic amongst our readers. It offers the look of slate and shake with added longevity and durability. Two of our most-read articles from last month came to us from writer Kathy Ziprik at DaVinci Roofscapes. Kathy highlights two different home projects that had composite slate roofs installed. Both homeowners were impressed by the look and reasonable price tag of their DaVinci Roofscapes’ composite slate roofs. Our most-read article of October highlights a DaVinci roof that faced no damage after an intense hailstorm!
