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 average fiberglass shingle used in steeple roof replacement is warrantied for 50 years. The typical 50 year shingle will provide adequate water tight performance, but with extreme weathering, may lack asthetic appearances after the first 20 years.
