Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles, also known as dimensional or laminated shingles, are a high-quality upgrade from traditional 3-tab asphalt shingles. They are thicker, more durable, and designed to replicate the look of premium roofing materials like slate or wood shakes—without the high cost and maintenance requirements.

Key Features of Architectural Shingles:

• Multi-Layer Construction—Thicker and heavier than standard shingles, offering greater resistance to damage.
• Distinctive Design—Mimics the look of luxury roofing materials while maintaining affordability.
• Longer Lifespan—Typically lasts 25-50 years, depending on the brand and maintenance.
• Better Wind Resistance—Withstands winds up to 110-130 mph (and even higher with specialized installation techniques).
• Improved Energy Efficiency— Some shingles come with reflective coatings that reduce heat absorption, helping lower energy costs.
• Greater Impact Resistance—Many architectural shingles are Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated, meaning they provide better protection against hail and debris.

If you’re replacing or upgrading your roof, architectural shingles offer several benefits over traditional 3-tab shingles:

1. Enhanced Durability

Unlike 3-tab shingles, which are made from a single asphalt layer, architectural shingles feature multiple laminated layers for added strength. This makes them more resistant to wind, impact, and general wear and tear.

2. Superior Aesthetic Appeal

The textured and dimensional look of architectural shingles adds depth and character to your home’s exterior. With a wide range of colors and styles available, they complement any architectural design, from modern to traditional.

3. Longer Lifespan

While standard 3-tab shingles last around 15-20 years, architectural shingles can last 25-50 years, making them a long-term investment in your home’s protection and value.

4. Better Warranty Coverage

Many manufacturers offer extended warranties on architectural shingles due to their superior durability. Some brands even provide limited lifetime warranties, giving you peace of mind for decades to come.

5. Increased Home Value

A roof with architectural shingles enhances curb appeal and can increase your home’s resale value. Prospective buyers appreciate the higher quality, durability, and upscale appearance.
