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
Three-tab shingles are the most common type of asphalt shingle. A three-tab shingle is designed to look like three shingles, but it is actually all cut out in one piece. It’s easy to install and very popular.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Architectural shingles are manufactured with an additional layer of asphalt to give them more dimension. This helps improve your home’s curb appeal while also offering a longer service life than three-tab shingles.
Luxury Asphalt Shingles
Premium or luxury asphalt shingles are made to mimic the look of other roofing products, like wood or slate. If you’re looking for a fancier roof for a fraction of the cost, these are a great choice!
The Pros and Cons of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
When making your decision about the type of roofing you prefer, there will be pros and cons. We’re happy to explain the pros and cons of asphalt shingle roofing to help you decide what would be best for your property.
Pros of Asphalt Shingles
- Economical: Asphalt is a popular choice because it’s the least expensive roofing material. No matter how you swing it, getting a new roof is expensive. Asphalt shingles effectively protect your home from the elements without costing an arm and a leg.
- Durable: Asphalt roofs can last around 20-25 years when properly maintained. That’s a pretty long time! Most people sell their homes within that time frame.
- Stylish: There are many styles of asphalt shingles to choose from to give your home maximum aesthetic appeal. Some styles even mimic the look of concrete or slate tiles that most people can’t even tell the difference!
Cons of Asphalt Shingles
- Shorter lifespan: Even at 20-25 years, asphalt shingle roofs have the shortest lifespan compared to other roofing materials. If you plan on passing your home down to the next few generations, you might consider something more durable.
- Non-recyclable: Asphalt shingles, unfortunately, cannot be recycled at the end of their service life. When the time comes to replace your roof, you will be contributing to landfill waste.

We were looking to prepare our roof for a future solar panel installation. Guardian Roofs stood out for their fair pricing and exceptional customer service. Mario, our project manager, was always responsive and knowledgeable, addressing … More our questions and concerns promptly, even outside of regular business hours. When we had specific worries or requests, Mario would personally visit the job site to address them directly.
The Guardian Roofs crew was professional, efficient, and meticulous about cleaning up. We were impressed with their quality of work and commitment to customer satisfaction. We highly recommend Guardian Roofs for any roofing project. -
Both my wife and I have been extremely satisfied with everyone from Guardian Roofs. Doug Hein is one sharp guy. My neighbor and I were so impressed with him that we both decided to get our roofs done after meeting with 5 different companies. … More
Mario was the superintendent responsible for the job and called me consistently to see how things were going and answered every question I had. Alex was my main contact throughout the job and arrived at 7:00 am everyday which I appreciated. He was very personable and I did my best to let him do his job. Whenever there was an area that had to be addressed, Alex would talk to me prior to changing anything without my permission. Freddie did a fantastic job of laying out the tiles and was very efficient and clean. My house was cleaned every day and I never had any issues. Mona Portillo along with Helen were great to work with from the office as well. As I mentioned earlier, Guardian Roofs went above and beyond my expectations!! Thank you for making us very happy. -
We had a major roof leak during the last atmospheric river in So. California. We began the roofing education process by seeking five bids. We were told various things about how to fix our problem roof but most of them turned out to be wrong. … More There was real misinformation from most of the roofers saying that a repair was possible ( it wasn’t) or an expensive re-layment was the only option. Our last bid was from Guardian Roof. With one look, Mario correctly identified that our then current tiles were discontinued because they were defective and in fact would not tolerate being pulled up and re-laid without a lot of breakage, as three other companies had bid. This observation was corroborated by another informed roofer but who was more expensive. So, for the SAME price that others were quoting to pull off the whole roof, repair a small section with new tiles and then re-use our old ( defective and crumbling) tiles to put back down, Guardian gave us a whole NEW tile roof as well as repairing some newly discovered termite damage. They were very responsive to our needs and worked steadily to complete the whole job in a week’s time, after the tiles were available. It looks beautiful! We were very happy with their honest and correct assessment of what was really needed, their very fair pricing, and their good work. So very glad we kept getting more bids until we found the right company for the job.

If you need a roof done right at an affordable price, these folks are the ones to hire. My roof was installed a year ago and it not only looks great, but it does everything that a roof should do. No leaks and it keeps the house really cool … More (old roof didn’t have the new heat tech that my new one does). I also appreciate that after the work was done each day, they always cleaned up after themselves!

We just had our roof replaced by Guardian Roofs in San Diego. We could not be happier. The crew led by Angelo was amazing. They swept our property clean each day. They subcontracted with Solar Repair Doctors to remove and replace our panel … More system and that also went without a hitch. Thank you to our project manager Diana and our sales rep Kevin. They all said how it was going to go down and it worked like a charm! Ready for the rains!
