Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement

Asphalt shingles are made from fiberglass coated with asphalt and finished with mineral granules. It is a popular roofing option, especially for pitched or sloped roofs. While they’re lightweight and cost-effective, they have a short life-span and over time the shingles can curl, crack, loosen, or get blown away – this will lead to leaks and damage your roof.

Why Asphalt Shingles Fail — And Why You Should Act Fast

Asphalt shingles are widely used for their lightweight and affordable protection. However, over time, they are vulnerable to:

  1. Cracking or curling due to heat and UV exposure
  2. Shingle blow-off from heavy winds or poor adhesion
  3. Granule loss, exposing the base to rain damage
  4. Water ingress under lifted or aged shingles

Even small damage can allow water to seep into the underlayment and roof structure, leading to:

  1. Internal ceiling leaks and stains
  2. Mold, mildew, and heat retention issues
  3. Structural timber rot
  4. Escalating repair costs if left untreated

Asphalt shingles are made from fiberglass coated with asphalt and finished with mineral granules. It is a popular roofing option, especially for pitched or sloped roofs.

At Wai Hong Brothers, we offer full asphalt shingle roof replacement. That means carefully removing your old or damaged shingles, checking the underlayment for moisture damage, and installing a fresh layer of new shingles. We follow a proper installation method, including alignment, nailing, sealing and ridge capping to ensure a neat and waterproof finish that lasts. We also inspect and fix the surrounding areas where water tends to leak to if the shingles are not done right.

This service is ideal for homeowners whose roofs are over 10–15 years old or have shingles that are visibly worn, curled, missing or discoloured. It’s also great for those who have just experienced storm damage and noticed water stains on their ceilings or walls. Shingle roofs are most commonly found in suburban homes and bungalows, but we also work on small commercial units with pitched roofs.

Replacing your worn-out shingle roof not only prevents future leaks, it also improves your home’s overall appearance. A clean and well-installed shingle roof can give your house a well-kept look. It also helps protect the timber structure beneath by keeping it safe from rot, termites and mold. In the long run, it saves you money on patch repairs and improves your property value.

If your shingle roof has seen better days, it might be a good time to consider a full replacement. At Wai Hong Brothers, we’re always ready to offer a thorough inspection and give you the best recommendations based on what your roof truly needs. Call us for a free inspection.
