Before you start your asphalt roofing project, it may be a good idea to consider all the pros and cons of asphalt roofing to determine if it is the best option for you.
Long-lasting
Asphalt roofed surfaces can withstand a reasonable amount of traffic and weather. If properly constructed, an asphalt surface can last for up to 30 years. If your roof is a functional area, an asphalt surface may be your best option.
Versatility
Since asphalt can be moulded to fit an area of any shape and size, it is ideal if your roof has awkward dimensions or fixed obstructions at random places. Asphalt can also be used on most surfaces, making it one of the most versatile flat roof surfaces.
Easy to Repair
With age, your asphalt surfaces may start to deteriorate at the edges or for cracks. One of the benefits of asphalt surfaces is that they are incredibly easy to repair. Even if you are not a skilled construction worker, you will be able to fill cracks or fix your asphalt surface yourself.
Neat Finish
Asphalt has a neat appearance, which makes it the best option for, say, businesses that use their roof as a functional space. Asphalt has a smooth surface and matte finish that provide ample aesthetic appeal to the exterior of your building.

The Cons Of Asphalt Roofing
Weather
Asphalt can be influenced by weather and, more specifically, fluctuations in temperature. When it gets warm, asphalt tends to become so soft that it may actually show footprints. Cold weather also poses a problem for asphalt surfaces as they can become brittle and start cracking.
Weight
Asphalt is heavy, which means that the structure of your building has to be able to carry the weight. If the roof structure lacks the sufficient strength, it may start to move or buckle over time. If your structure is not strong enough, you may want to consider another roofing material.
Not Ideal for Sloped Roofs
Asphalt is applied in liquid form. If your roof is not completely flat, the asphalt will run to the edge of your roof where it will accumulate against the ridge or run off the building.
Expensive
Compared to roofing materials like rubber, asphalt is more expensive. It is important to remember that asphalt offer much more durability and longevity than most other flat roof materials.
