Fire rating sounds like paperwork talk until a spark lands where it should not. Composite roof shingles sit right at that awkward intersection between safety codes and real life risk. Homeowners hear terms like Class A or Class C and…
People assume composition shingles are just one thing. Black, gray, done. That assumption usually lasts until they start getting estimates and every roofer seems to be talking about a different product like they are all in separate conversations. Composition shingles…
