Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Corpus Christi & San Antonio, TX

Asphalt shingles are among the most popular roof systems in the country. There are several reasons why they’re the preferred option for homeowners and business owners across the Texas Coastal Bend. Here are several reasons why you should consider this roofing option.

10 Benefits of asphalt shingles

  • Affordability. This roofing material has one of the lowest cost per square footage in the market, leaving you with a smaller dent in your wallet.
  • Easy Installation. Your roofers will thank you for this. They can sometimes even be installed over old shingles.
  • Wide Variety. Asphalt shingles are available in a range of colors and style options. Black, white, brown, gray, red, blue, and green. Main styles include 3-tab, architectural, and luxury shingles.
  • Resistant to Elements of Nature. They protect your home from algae growth, rain storms, hail damage, and fires.
  • Energy Efficient. Asphalt roofs absorb less heat and reflect more sunlight, including UV rays. This results in a cooler home, saving you money on having to crank up the air conditioner.
  • Durability. Offers weather resistance and the full coverage you need to protect your home or business.
  • Lightweight. The heavier the roof, the more strain you’re putting on the structural integrity of the building. Still durable, asphalt shingles are a lighter option compared to wood, clay or concrete tiles.
  • Long Lifespan. You can expect a solid lifespan of 10 to 30 years, depending on the type of asphalt shingles you go with. Of course, regular roof maintenance will maximize its longevity.
  • Low Maintenance. Speaking of which, they are easy to clean, repair, and replace if damaged.
  • Increases Property Value. Gives your home or storefront a beatiful, natural looking finish, mimicking the appearance of more expensive roofing materials like cedar and slate.

Types of Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles fall under three main categories: 3 tab shingles, architectural shingles, and luxury shingles.

3-Tab Shingles

Also known as traditional shingles and strip shingles, 3-tab shingles are the oldest type of shingles available in the market today. They’re large in size and provide self-sealing properties, making them a cost-effective option. They can also combine several shades of color for a more aesthetic flair to your home or storefront.

Architectural Shingles

Also known as dimensional shingles and laminate shingles, architectural shingles are composed of two layers, asphalt and fiberglass. This is currently the most popular type of asphalt shingles due to their visual thickness, stronger weather resistance, and unique shaping.

Luxury Shingles

Also known as designer shingles and premium shingles, luxury shingles also have the two-layer build like architectural shingles but they have a more elegant look to them. They look similar to wood shake and slate roofing while still being more affordable.
