Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs We Install

There are three types of asphalt shingles to consider: three-tab asphalt shingles, architectural, and premium asphalt shingles.

Three-Tab Asphalt Shingles

3-tab shingles are some of the most common on the market due to their affordability and ease of installation. If you’re hoping for a classic appearance at a good price, these may be your pick. Here are some reasons people choose 3-tab asphalt shingles in Pittsburgh:

Price: Three-tab asphalt shingles are the most affordable roofing material available. Many choose these shingles because the upfront cost will be less than architectural or luxury asphalt shingles.
Versatility: You can find 3-tab shingles that will match your home nicely with a distinct variety of styles and options available.
Lightweight: Unlike some other materials, 3-tab shingles are incredibly lightweight, which makes them less likely to put pressure on your building’s supports and foundation.

Architectural Asphalt Shingles

Architectural shingles are also known as laminated shingles. They’re made to be heavy-duty and are one of the highest quality options in roofing materials. You can expect these types of shingles to last up to 50 years, which is considered a Lifetime Warranty in the roofing industry.

Easy to Install: Some materials, like metal and synthetic slate, also tend to be quite durable. But they are much more difficult to install than architectural asphalt shingles in Pittsburgh. Think about it — it’s much harder to lug around large sheets of metal than it is to transport individual, lightweight shingles.
Wind Resistance: Part of architectural shingles’ durability is their ability to withstand high winds. They are usually rated for winds up to 120 mph, more than their 3-tab counterparts can handle. This is especially useful when major thunderstorms, tornadoes, or the aftereffects of hurricanes roll through western Pennsylvania.
Aesthetics: Many prefer the look of architectural shingles over their 3-tab counterparts, as they can imitate wood shakes or slate shingles.

Luxury Asphalt Shingles

As the name suggests, these are luxury versions of asphalt shingle roofing. They may come in thicker and heavier quality, and can even mimic other roofing materials. Homeowners love opting for cedar shake and slate styles for a more sophisticated-looking roof without breaking the bank.

Shingle Roof FAQs

How much does an asphalt shingle roof cost?

The cost of your asphalt shingle roof in Pittsburgh will depend entirely on how large your home is, the pitch and style of your roof, what type of asphalt shingles you choose, and other factors as well, like the current condition of your roof and home. If we need to perform significant repairs to the underlayment, for example, it could cost more.

Which type of asphalt shingle should I get for my roof?

It depends on what is most important to you. For example, if your budget is driving your decision-making, you may go with 3-tab shingles. However, if you’re more concerned about durability and longevity, architectural shingles should be your choice. And, of course, if appearance is the main factor for you, luxury shingles are an option as well.
