Why Asphalt Shingles Are the Best Choice for New England Winters

Not all roofing materials are created equal—especially in a climate like Massachusetts. Asphalt shingles remain the top choice for New England homeowners because they’re engineered to perform under demanding conditions.

At Dave Miner Roofing, we exclusively install asphalt shingle roofs because they offer the best combination of durability, reliability, and long-term value.

Designed for Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Massachusetts winters are defined by constant temperature fluctuations. Asphalt shingles flex and adapt better than rigid materials, reducing cracking and failure over time.


Wind and Snow Resistance

Modern asphalt shingles are designed to resist high winds and heavy snow loads—two defining features of New England winters.

When installed correctly, they provide:

  • Strong sealing
  • Secure fastening
  • Reliable protection during storms

Long-Term Appearance Matters

Winter moisture can lead to algae growth that leaves dark streaks on roofs. That’s why every Dave Miner roof includes streak fighter, algae-resistant shingles, keeping your home looking great year after year.


Backed by a 50-Year Warranty

We believe homeowners should know exactly what they’re getting. Every roof we install includes a 50-year material and labor warranty, offering long-term confidence and protection.


Built for Massachusetts Homes

Asphalt shingles offer the versatility and performance needed for Massachusetts architecture and climate—without unnecessary complexity.

If you’re planning a new roof, asphalt shingles installed by Dave Miner Roofing deliver proven protection through every season.
