Default Shingles

Joseph,

I have one layer of asphalt shingles at the moment and am in North
Carolina. So what's your opinion, asphalt or fiberglass?

Dave .



Being in NC (I was in Fayetteville for a bit), be sure they are AR (Algae
Resistant) shingles. Black algae just thrives in the humidity there.

Never did get hit with a hurricane when I was there. Lucky. Highly
recommend not using staples (if it's even legal where you are). Use nails
and consider the "high wind" nailing pattern recommendation of the mfgr
(greater than 4 nails).
