Should I Use Asphalt Shingles For My Roof Replacement?

Homes in Central Texas are especially susceptible to volatile weather conditions – severe hail storms and heavy winds can do a lot of damage to your windows and roofs. Your roof protects your home from these elements, so it’s essential to have strong roofing to withstand the ever-changing weather in your area. 

If you’re looking for quality roofs that are both affordable and strong, asphalt shingles should be on top of your list. Platinum Contracting provides a wide range of shingle roofing services, from shingle roof installations, inspections to repairs – we do it all!

What Our Contractors Can Do For You

Strengths Of Asphalt Shingles 

Asphalt shingles are well-loved by both roofers and residents. Why? Here are the three main reasons why this popular roofing material is the top choice for residential properties.

Excellent Weather Protection

Asphalt shingle roofs are excellent at protecting your home. These shingles are designed to survive heavy rain, high winds, and strong hail. Some high-quality shingles are even rated to withstand fire damage!

To ensure that you’re protected from the extreme weather situation in Texas, choose shingles that have good impact resistance ratings.

Available In Many Designs 

Asphalt shingle roofing can enhance your home’s aesthetics. These shingles come in a variety of colors and shapes, allowing homeowners to choose the design that would best match their home’s appearance – increasing curb appeal and property value in one go.

Cost-Effectiveness

Despite their durability and resistance to extreme weather, asphalt shingles are more affordable compared to other options like clay tiles. Manufacturers can easily mass-produce asphalt shingles, resulting in a lower price.

Asphalt shingles are also easier to install, so you can save more on roofer labor costs. 

Types Of Asphalt Roof Shingles 

There are three major types of asphalt shingles – here’s how each type differs.

3-Tab Asphalt Shingles

3-tab shingles are commonly found on economy homes or older homes. Made out of fiberglass coated with mineral granules, 3-tab shingles create a clean, uniform look for your roof.

Dimensional Shingles

Dimensional shingles, sometimes known as laminated shingles, consist of two bonded shingle layers. In contrast to the flat look of 3-tab shingles, dimensional shingles provide a three-dimensional look on your roof.

Dimensional shingles are one of the most common types of asphalt roof material being used in North America, as reported by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association. This is likely because these types of shingles are more durable than their 3-tab counterparts.

Luxury Shingles

On the higher end of the price scale, there are luxury shingles. Designed to mimic natural wood shakes and slate roofing, luxury asphalt shingles is a more-than-complementary addition to a period-style home. 

Frequently-Asked Questions About Asphalt Shingles

If you’re still weighing your options, here are two of the most commonly asked questions regarding asphalt shingles, answered.

How Long Do Asphalt Shingles Last?

While regular exposure to heavy winds and hail storms will inevitably damage any roof given enough time, asphalt shingles are especially durable roofing materials. If maintained properly and regularly inspected by professional roofers, an asphalt shingle roof can last you 20-30 years before requiring a full roof replacement. 

Which Type Of Asphalt Shingle Product Is The Best?

The best type of asphalt shingle product will depend on your preference and budget. To help you decide, we summarize the three major options’ strengths and weaknesses as follows: 

  • 3-tab asphalt shingles: These shingles are the cheapest among all three types of asphalt shingles on the market. However, 3-tab shingles have fewer design options and are more vulnerable to wind damage.
  • Dimensional shingles: This option is the middle ground between the three types of asphalt shingles. These roofing shingles have a higher per square cost compared to their 3-tab peers, but have more design options and provide more strength.

 

  • Luxury shingles: Luxury shingles are the strongest and best-looking option. However, this performance is equaled by the high price and heavier weight – meaning your home may need extra reinforcement to hold them.
