Architectural Shingle Roofs

Increasing the durability of your roofing typically corresponds to a jump in price. While it’s tempting to upgrade your home to metal or terra cotta shingles, that may not be a budget-friendly option. Investing in architectural shingle roofing lets you protect your home, family, and belongings without breaking the bank.

Three-tab asphalt shingles have one layer of material that sits on top of a cloth or fiberglass sheet. Rain or hail can loosen and remove exterior granules, compromising the shingles’ durability. Architectural shingles have more layers, so your roof can endure torrential storms and harsh weather.

Manufacturers combine multiple layers of asphalt and granules to make laminated shingles more durable. The roofing material can withstand winds up to 120 mph, which outperforms conventional shingles that can only resist 80 mph. The more exceptional durability means you’ll spend less time and money replacing architectural shingles than for single-tab or three-tab options.

Bulkier materials, like slate or metal, require more time to move and install. Architectural shingles don’t require additional support, which streamlines installation. The easy installation also works in reverse. If you need to repair or replace any architectural shingles, Guardian Roofs roofers can do it in as little as one day.

Your roof plays a sizeable role in your home’s energy efficiency. It can mitigate indoor air from leaking outside while reflecting UV light into the atmosphere. An architectural shingle provides superior cooling and light deflection than conventional asphalt shingle, keeping your energy bills lower year-round.

You can also save up 10% on your roof installation or up to $500 thanks to federal tax credits. Installing an ENERGY STAR-rated roof lets you claim a deduction on your taxes. The program incentivizes homeowners to invest in energy-efficiency building materials and reduce their overall energy consumption.
