What are the types of asphalt shingles we recommend? 

Three-tab Asphalt Shingle 

This type of shingle is the most common. They get their name from the three asphalt tabs on the bottom of each shingle. They fit together like simple puzzle pieces when appropriately installed.  They are lightweight, easy to maintain, and can last up to 20 years, 

The benefits of a three-tab shingle include: 

• More budget-friendly than architectural shingles
• Uniform, clean look
• Are the most popular

Architectural Asphalt Shingle

This type of shingle is more durable and waterproof than the three-tab shingle. They are laminated, with an additional layer and bonded with asphalt sealant. These shingles are designed to give the roof a more distinguished appearance. 

The benefits of an architectural asphalt shingle are:

• Heavier and more durable than the three-tab shingle
• Better wind resistance
• Longer life expectancy than the three-tab shingle

Asphalt shingles, whether three-tab or architectural, offer many advantages over the more expensive roofing materials. Here are some of the reasons to choose asphalt shingles.

Affordability

As mentioned before, asphalt shingles are budget-friendly. They offer the homeowner the option to choose a lovely roofing material without breaking the bank when compared to other roofing materials and options. 

Easy Installation

This type of roofing is lightweight, making it easier for your home to support, and for the installers to work with. An expert roofing company can install them quickly and efficiently within a short time frame. This can help you save on labor costs.

Ease of Repair

The beauty of asphalt shingles is the ease with which a damaged shingle can be replaced. Some other roofing materials are not so easily replaced, such as metal. Make sure to keep our number handy in case damage occurs on the roof and your need assistance in repairs.  

Color Variety

The traditional look of asphalt shingles has been a popular choice due to the variety of color options. Black and brown tend to be the most common choices, however blue, red, and green are options also. The homeowner can also choose a color to match the siding and shutters. The options are endless. Make sure you discuss the styles with us, before making a decision. You will have to live with the choice of color for at least two decades.
