Asphalt Shingle Siding

[Kyle Joseph]

Hi,

I’m looking at a 4-unit multifamily in New England and the property has asphalt shingles siding.  It has 2 layers of asphalt shingles, a layer of insulation and then metal sheets.  I’ve never seen this type of siding before, it’s not common in my area.  Does anyone know about this siding and mind sharing any pros/cons?  How long does it last, is it costly to replace, does it work well in cold/snowy New England climate?  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Kyle
