Architectural shingles are an excellent way to improve your home’s curb appeal and protect your house. They’re available in a stunning array of styles, colors, and designs, which means you can completely customize your home’s look.
30-Year Architectural Shingles: The Most Popular Option
Architectural shingles are extremely popular in the roofing market. This type of shingle includes extra layers of shingle mat that make it thicker than a three-tab asphalt shingle. The thickness provides extra protection for a roof, and architectural shingles offer a longer manufacturer warranty.
New View Roofing is a Dallas-based, local roofing company installing over 1,000 residential roofs a year. We’re highly experienced when it comes to roof installation and look forward to helping you choose the right shingle option for your new roof.
Benefits of 30-Year Architectural Shingles
Architectural shingles are popular among Texas homeowners because of their many benefits, including the following:
- Architectural shingles weigh almost 50 percent more than three-tab shingles, making them very durable.
- Because of their weight and thickness, most architectural shingles are backed by a minimum 30-year guarantee warranty.
- 30-year shingles are resistant to high winds and hailstone impact.
- With proper installation by New View Roofing, architectural shingles can maintain or raise the value of your home.
- The versatility and design options of architectural shingles increase the curb appeal of your property.
The Scoop on 30-Year Architectural Shingles
Sometimes called laminated shingles or dimensional shingles, 30-year architectural shingles are some of the highest quality roofing products you’ll find. Usually, they’re made with a heavy fiberglass base that’s covered in ceramic-coated mineral granules. Then, the granules are stuck in water-resistant asphalt. This makes architectural shingles heavier than standard 3-tab shingles, and it makes them more durable, too.
Architectural shingles are available in a wide range of colors and styles, as well. That means you can completely customize the way your home looks when you choose them. There are varieties that look like cedar shakes, slate and other types of materials (without the cost or maintenance associated with those types of shingles), and they provide a more three-dimensional look to your roof than standard three-tab asphalt shingles do.
What About Warranties?
Architectural shingles typically come with warranties – some lasting as long as 50 years. These shingles are guaranteed to withstand high winds (typically up to 120 miles per hour), rain and snow. Warrantied 30-year architectural shingles won’t break or crack when they’re exposed to difficult weather conditions, and they’re designed to resist fading. That means the color will remain strong on your roof throughout the warranty period (and beyond). These types of shingles are also treated to resist algae and mold growth, so you won’t have to worry about either of those things degrading the integrity of your shingles.
How Much Do Architectural Shingles Cost?
Though architectural shingles are costlier than standard three-tab shingles are, the only way to find out how much you’ll spend is to talk to an expert roofing contractor. That’s because the costs vary based on the manufacturer, the style and the color you choose – and that’s just for the shingles alone. Your total project’s cost will vary based on several factors, as well, including the size of your roof, your roof’s pitch (how steep it is) and the amount of work involved in installing a new roof (as well as whether you need the old roof torn off first).
The best way to figure out how much architectural shingles will cost you is to get a quote from New View Roofing. We’ll send an expert to your home to talk to you about your options, including what types of 30-year architectural shingles you want. Then, we’ll measure your roof and examine its pitch. We’ll determine whether your roof ventilation system is adequate, gauge the chimney and skylights (if you have them) and settle on a quote.
We’ll even tell you how long you can anticipate the project taking, as well as how long it will take for the materials to arrive, when we can start work and when we’ll finish. We’ll give you all the information you need to make the best possible decision for your new roof.
Do Architectural Shingles Improve Curb Appeal?
Because architectural shingles are designed to impress – and because they feature a more three-dimensional appearance than flat shingles do – they can certainly improve your home’s curb appeal. You can get architectural shingles that look like cedar shakes, slate or tile; that means you can customize the way your home’s exterior looks and create a perfectly coordinated aesthetic with the rest of your home. They’re also available in a wide array of colors from many manufacturers (and with many different warranties), so outfitting your home with the perfect new roof has never been easier.

Advanced Shingle Technology: Ensuring Durability and Longevity
The 30-year shingles we offer at New View Roofing incorporate advanced technology that significantly enhances their durability and longevity. We’ll offer you a range of options constructed with a combination of high-quality asphalt (which provides a strong waterproof barrier) and advanced granule technology that reflects UV rays, preventing deterioration from sunlight. The fiberglass mat at the core of each shingle ensures superior strength and tear resistance, while the adhesive strips help create a tight seal between the shingles. Combined, all these factors reduce the risk of blow-offs during high winds.
Benefits of 30-Year Shingles: More Than Just Coverage
There are plenty of benefits to choosing 30-year shingles. They may improve your home’s value because they have a long lifespan and polished, clean look. You can get them in various colors and styles, too, and they’re designed to be energy-efficient. They’ll keep your home cooler in the summer and help reduce your energy bills. Their composition allows them to withstand DFW’s diverse weather conditions — from scorching heat to occasional hail — and protect your home year-round.
The Installation Process: Precision and Expertise
Our meticulous and methodical installation process for 30-year shingles is something our clients know us well for. Our professionals start by carefully removing your old roofing material and inspecting the roof deck for damage; if we find issues, we fix them. Then, we install high-quality underlayment, which gives your roof (and your home) an extra layer of protection. We lay each shingle with precision and use specialized equipment to ensure a perfect fit — especially in vulnerable areas such as valleys and around chimneys. Our main mission is to guarantee optimal performance and longevity.
Cost-Effectiveness of 30-Year Shingles
For most people, investing in 30-year shingles is cost-effective in the long run. Though the upfront cost is a little higher than it is for shorter-life shingles, their extended lifespan helps you save money on repairs and replacements over time. Because they’re energy-efficient, they can also help you save money on utility bills. When you choose 30-year shingles, you’re investing in a roof that will protect your home for decades.
Maintenance and Care: Protecting Your Investment
Taking care of your shingles helps them last as long as possible. We recommend routine inspections — at least once a year and after storms — so you can catch problems before they become catastrophic. Even small problems can quickly spiral out of control. If you see debris on your roof, clear it off; we also recommend cleaning your gutters regularly. Both these things prevent water buildup that can damage the shingles over time. Walk around outside your home and look for signs of wear and tear or loose shingles a few times a year. Most importantly, address problems as soon as possible.
Comparing Shingle Options: Making the Right Choice
When deciding between 20-year, 30-year or 50-year shingles, consider your long-term goals and your budget. Typically, 20-year shingles are less expensive than the other options, but 30-year shingles give you a pretty good balance between affordability and longevity. These types of shingles last longer and can usually withstand harsher weather conditions. You may also want to consider 50-year shingles, which obviously last the longest. These shingles are typically made from even more durable materials, but they’re among the more expensive options. We can help you weigh your options and choose the best roofing solution for your home.
