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, classified by their cutouts which make them look like three separate pieces. They are made up of a single layer and lay completely flat. They’re affordable, lightweight, easy to maintain, energy-efficient, and can last up to 20 years.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Architectural shingles are a great choice if your home’s curb appeal is important. They have an additional layer compared to three-tab shingles, which provides additional impact and wind resistance. The additional layers also give your shingles more depth and can last 30 years.
Premium Asphalt Shingles
Premium/luxury asphalt shingles come in designer styles that replicate cedar shake and slate. And the best part is you can get an enviable roof for an affordable price. Make sure to ask your Roof Medic representative about upgrade options for premium and designer shingles!
The Pros and Cons of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
It’s important to us to answer all of your questions throughout the entire roofing process. We want you to feel confident in your decision, providing you with all of the information possible so that you know exactly what to expect.
Pros of Asphalt Shingles
- Budget: Asphalt roofs are considered the most affordable roofing option for homeowners when it comes to quality and durability. This makes asphalt shingle roofing an easy choice for anyone building on a budget.
- Installation: When installed by a professional, asphalt shingles are relatively simple and quick to install. You can expect your next asphalt roof installation to be complete in just a few days.
- Style: Asphalt shingles come in so many different colors and style varieties, you’ll have a hard time picking out your favorite! You can even find designer styles that mimic other roofing types.
Cons of Asphalt Shingles
- High winds: Asphalt shingles can be more vulnerable to wind damage than other roofing types.
- Cracks: Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause asphalt shingles to expand and contract, leading to cracks in the shingles over time. Cracked shingles can be replaced to avoid water leaks in your home.
Shingle Roof FAQs
Architectural shingles are often the more popular choice amongst homeowners because of the variety of styles available for a beautiful roof. Not to mention, they can last up to a decade longer than three-tab shingles. If you are looking for a budget-friendly cedar shake or slate roof, then premium shingles are worth considering.
Most architectural roofs that are well maintained will last on average around 25- 30 years!
After your roof is about 10 years old, it’s a good idea to get your roof inspected once a year.
The main difference is that 3-tab roofs are 1 layer thick and lay completely flat. Architectural shingles have an additional layer of asphalt applied to the body of the shingle. This extra thickness provides not only additional impact resistance but also helps resist wind damage. The additional layers also give the shingle more depth which helps make the shingle pop with shadow lines.
If you plan on staying in your home for a while, 5 years or longer, then an extended warranty is an excellent option! For only around $0.15 a square foot ($15 per 100 square feet) you get a 100% guarantee against the manufacturer’s defects for 50 years. It also grants you a 10 year 100% labor warranty!! This is a tremendous value that you can only receive from certified accredited roofers. Even though it is transferable, the only reason that makes sense not to get it is because you are trying to sell in the immediate future.

Fantastic, honest company. Highly recommend them. Jordan is straightforward and knowledgeable, the crew is friendly, and they are extremely efficient. They were glad to answer any questions I had and make sure I understood what they were … More doing. Office staff is very friendly as well! They have an eye for the details that matter in maintaining the integrity of your roof. No regrets going with Roof Medic, and we'll use them for future needs.
UPDATE: used Roof Medic again for a roof replacement, and we continue to love the company. They do excellent work, have a friendly crew, and are highly knowledgeable. They walked us through the insurance claims process, helping us understand what was going on and why every step of the way. Communication is stellar, and we never felt like we were at a loss as to where we were in the process or why. High quality, efficient work. Will definitely use again if the need arises and recommend this company. -
Roof Medic was recommended to us by our insurance agent when we had significant damage following a wind storm. Nick Stewart, who we worked with from day one was extremely professional, responsive & easy to work with. We ended up replacing … More all of our gutters and downspouts along with a full roof replacement, which included a new metal roof above our front porch. Chris, who is Roof Medics production manager ensured our job was done quickly and flawlessly. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out & would not hesitate to recommend Roof Medic to anyone! Nick and Chris were fantastic to work with, not a single complaint!

Roof Medic exceeded all my expectations, as a homeowner who desires over communication, exceptional work and true value on our hard earned dollars.
From the initial inspection, to dealing with insurances, selection of products, scheduling … More of installation and finally the actual install, Roof Medic was fabulous. I can't over state how nice, professional and a pleasure Nick, Jake and Megan were to work with (great experience).
If you're looking for a firm that walks you through all the details and potential costs (no hidden Change Orders) and are responsive to all your inquires, look no further as this is your team. -
I cannot thank Roof Medic enough. Julian came out to inspect our roof that had a lot of moss growing on it due to very large oak trees shading the property. We were sure we would need to replace it soon but we didn’t realize we had storm … More damage as well. He thoroughly walked us through the insurance claim process and even came out the day the adjuster was here. Our roof ended up being covered by insurance! What a blessing that was for us old retired folks. They estimated that they would possibly need two days to complete the job but they were able to finish in one very full day. It was starting to get dark when they were cleaning up which may be the reason for my only complaint. We have found to date 24 roofing nails on the asphalt driveway. I’m just hoping that none find their way into our tires or any visitors we have. I would still highly recommend Roof Medic.

The entire team at Roof Medic was a pleasure to work with! Incredibly efficient from start to finish. I submitted an online inquiry over the weekend, and I had my inspection already scheduled the following Monday. My inspector Nick was … More ultra efficient and helpful - he gave me a clear rundown of the entire process, and was super responsive every step along the way. Once the materials arrived, I was scheduled right away for a time convenient for my schedule, and the entire job was completed in one (long) day! Chris, the Production Manager, was also helpful in ensuring the roof installation went smoothly, extra materials were picked up quickly, and things were left neat and tidy. Really incredible work all the way around! I enjoyed working with the entire team of professionals at the Roof Medic and can't recommend them enough for anyone in need of roofing services.

Read all the great reviews and being a veteran, I was confident in a veteran owned company. Pat came out and did a great assessment. The insurance company pushed back so I decided just to get the repair done where the leak is at. Paid the … More deposit almost 2 weeks ago and was told that Production will contact me. I haven't heard from Production and when I reach out to the office or Pat I am told they are very busy. I have read in other reviews that their communication is good. I would like to see this. I am not asking for them to get to me fast but since I paid the deposit then at least keep me up to date. I look forward to getting the work done and giving Roof Medic the 5 stars they most likely deserve.
Update: Production reached out to me and scheduled the repair. Looking forward to commenting on the work when it is completed. -
Nick was great about coming to the house he even worked with me to come out to meet the insurance agent. Since it was snowy the insurance agent didn't want to go up to look at the roof so Nick went up for him and took pictures which … More helped the process not get delayed. Knowledgeable about product offerings to help make the right choices for my home. No more leaking roof!

I was part of the committee at Cornerstone Baptist Church that contracted with Roof Medic to install a new roof on our facility. From start to finish Roof Medic and all of their employees were great to work with. I have been in construction … More for almost 50 yrs and have worked around many roofing companies and Roof Medic is the best I have seen. They are very professional, and have the knowledge and experience needed to be able to work well with insurance companies. If there is a legitimate insurance claim, Roof Medic will certainly see that you receive everything that you are entitled to. I highly recommend Roof Medic whether there is an insurance claim or not, because their quality and attention to detail is superb. I recognize a well run project and from start to finish this project was well run and our property was cleaned daily.
