At Leelands, we strive to provide enduring, maintenance-free steeple solutions. When considering roof replacement materials, asphalt shingles are not our first choice. They are a cost effective but short term solution compared to the endurance of slate and copper. The averge fiberglass shingle used in steeple roof replacement is warrantied for 50 years. The typical multi-plied 50 year shingle will provide adequate water tight performance, but with the extreme weathering of visible layers, may lack asthetic appearances after the first 20 years.
