Composition or asphalt shingle roofing is the most popular solution in use today.  This product performs well at a reasonable price offering low maintenance and Class-A fire protection—the highest in residential roofing.  You will rest easy knowing  you have selected an efficient, cost-effective, safe product for your home. 

With the many options in color, style, and brand available today, every home owner’s design needs are met while complying with most homeowner's association requirements.  Now composition shingles are available in thicker, patterned options, adding new style options with dimension for your roof. 

There are 3 parts to an asphalt shingle:

• The base is made of an organic felt or fiberglass mat produced from very fine glass fibers and a binder securing them. Organic felt is comprised of recycled and recyclable materials such as wood chips, corrugated boxes, and paper.
• A layer of asphalt creates a waterproof barrier, holds  the granules in place, and strengthens your shingle.
• A final layer of granules made of finely ground  opaque crushed rocks and colored by a ceramic coating is added to  block ultraviolet light which ages the asphalt layer. Granules also color shingles. Remember that a lighter shingle is always better for a roof’s heat absorption and your energy bill.

Other Roofing Material Options Available:
Cedar Shake • Slate • Synthetic Slate

3 tab shingles vs Architectural/Dimensional Singles. (25 years vs 30 year shingles)

The 3 tab shingles:

• These are thin, lightweight and have single thickness.
• An individual part of the shingle can be lifted by the wind without having to lift the entire shingle.
• With a traditional 3-tab shingle, the tabs must be properly lined-up, so that the roof does not have a haphazard or wavy appearance.The 3 tab shingle can be expected to last 20 years - 25 years.
• These factors make a 3 tab shingle less desireable in a high wind area.

Architectural shingles:

• Have a random pattern and, as a result, can be easier to lay out than the standard 3-tab shingles.
• Architectural shingles feature larger exposures, better algae- and weather-resistant properties, and a greater array of warranty options.
• Although priced 20 percent to 40 percent higher than standard three-tab shingles, homeowners prefer these products.
• In addition to the above factors, they have an attractive appearance with a dimensional, more textured effect.
• Extra pieces are laminated on to each shingle to give it a thicker and more random look. The extra pieces also add more weight and rigidity to the shingle.
• They are heavier and thicker than 3-tab shingles, promoting longer life and extended durability.
