If you are thinking of changing the roofing system of your home then you must install strong roofing shingles and felt. Today, roofing felt is manufactured in a way so that it can handle bad storms more easily. For many years, contractors have been using shingles which have layers of felt attached to them. Asphalt shingles attached with roofing felts are commonly preferred by many people because they are less expensive.
