Asphalt Shingle Roofing by RemodelPro

Asphalt shingles are on more homes than any other roofing material for good reason. They are cost-effective, straightforward to install and repair, and available in enough colors and styles to suit nearly any house.

Modern shingles are a big step up from the flat, single-layer products many people picture. Architectural, or dimensional, shingles are made from multiple laminated layers that create shadow lines and depth, giving a roof a richer, more textured look. Designer shingles go further, imitating slate or wood shake profiles.

How long your asphalt roof lasts depends as much on installation as on the product. We install shingles as part of a full system with proper underlayment, flashing, starter strips, ridge caps and ventilation, following the manufacturer's requirements so your warranty stays intact.

Why homeowners choose asphalt

Strong value

Asphalt offers the lowest upfront cost of the major roofing materials while still delivering decades of protection.

Huge color range

From classic charcoal and weathered wood to warm browns and blended tones, there is a shade for every exterior.

Good wind resistance

Architectural shingles installed with the correct nailing pattern carry strong wind ratings.

Easy to repair

Damaged shingles can be replaced individually without disturbing large areas of the roof.

Algae-resistant options

Many shingles include granules that help prevent the dark streaks common in humid climates.

Reflective options

Some product lines offer cool-roof granules that reflect more sunlight and reduce attic heat.

Types of asphalt shingles

Asphalt shingles come in three main tiers.

3-tab shingles

Flat, uniform and economical. Less common today and generally shorter-lived than dimensional shingles.

Architectural (dimensional) shingles

Our most-installed product: layered for depth and texture with better durability and wind ratings.

Designer / luxury shingles

Extra-thick, multi-layer shingles shaped to mimic slate or shake for a high-end look.

Impact-resistant shingles

Built to better withstand hail; in some areas they may also qualify for insurance discounts, so check with your insurer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do asphalt shingles last?

Architectural shingles commonly last 20 to 30 years, depending on climate, sun exposure, ventilation and installation quality. Designer shingles often last somewhat longer. Poor attic ventilation is one of the biggest reasons shingles age early.

What causes black streaks on asphalt roofs?

Those streaks are usually algae that feeds on the limestone filler in shingles, especially on shaded, north-facing slopes. Algae-resistant shingles help prevent it, and existing streaks can be gently cleaned without pressure washing.

Is it normal to find granules in my gutters?

A small amount is normal, especially in the first months after installation. Large amounts on an older roof, or bare patches on the shingles, suggest the roof is wearing out.

Can asphalt shingles go on a low-slope roof?

Shingles generally need a minimum pitch to shed water, and very low slopes need special underlayment or a different system altogether. For nearly flat sections like porch roofs, we often recommend a membrane roof instead.

How do I choose a shingle color?

Look at your siding, trim, brick or stone, and the roofs around you. Darker colors tend to hide wear and streaks, while lighter colors reflect more heat. Viewing a sample on your roof at different times of day is the best test.
