Rubber Roofing

Most houses in Williamson County, IL have asphalt shingles that typically last 15-20 years and require quite a bit of attention throughout that time. Rubber roofing from Harris Roofing Inc in Marion, IL can last 30-50 years, requiring little maintenance or repairs. Rubber shingles or rolls are much more durable and less likely to crack during extreme weather conditions than asphalt roofing. They are especially beneficial for flat or low pitch roofs that traditional shingles have trouble effectively protecting due to the lack of gravitational pull. When roofs are flatter, water does not run off as quickly as on steeper roofs, allowing water to be blown underneath shingles that are not well sealed.

Rubber vs. Traditional Roofing

Rubber roofing in Williamson County, IL can go where typical asphalt roofing cannot due to its flexible nature.
