Shingle Roofing Architectural, Impact-Rated & 3-Tab

Laminated, dimensional shingles — the standard choice for most Valley homes. Heavier than 3-tab, better wind ratings, and a depth of appearance that reads far better on a pitched roof. This is what we install on the majority of replacements.

Built to resist hail bruising, and often eligible for a homeowners insurance discount that offsets part of the extra cost over time. Worth pricing properly if your roof has taken hail before — in the RGV, most have.

The economy option: flat appearance, lighter weight, lower wind rating. Still appropriate for rentals, outbuildings and tight budgets, and we will install it where it makes sense rather than upselling for the sake of it.

The layer nobody sees and the one that decides whether wind-driven rain gets in. Synthetic underlayment throughout, proper starter strip at eaves and rakes, and ice-and-water shield in valleys and around penetrations.

An attic that cannot breathe cooks the decking from underneath and takes years off the shingles above it. We check intake and exhaust balance on every replacement rather than just laying new material over the same problem.

Manufacturer warranties require the full system to be installed to specification, and they require registration. We install to spec and register the warranty so it is actually valid if you ever need it.

For most Valley homes, architectural shingles are the sensible default and impact-rated shingles are worth the upgrade if hail is a recurring issue or your insurer offers a discount. We price both so you can compare honestly rather than guessing.

Less than the number printed on the wrapper, in most cases. Sustained heat and UV shorten asphalt shingle life, and poor attic ventilation shortens it further. Correct ventilation is the single cheapest thing you can do to extend it.
