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.

Benefits of 30-Year Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles are popular among Texas homeowners because of their many benefits, including the following:

1. Architectural shingles weigh almost 50 percent more than three-tab shingles, making them very durable.
2. Because of their weight and thickness, most architectural shingles are backed by a minimum 30-year guarantee warranty.
3. 30-year shingles are resistant to high winds and hailstone impact.
4. With proper installation by New View Roofing, architectural shingles can maintain or raise the value of your home.
5. 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 architectural 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.
