A composite shingle roof is the most widely applied roofing system for a reason, here are a handful of them.

 

We give you our top 9 picks for the best advantages of a Shingle Roofing System.

 

1. Superior Durability

 

One of the prime benefits of using fiberglass roof shingles is its durability. Fiberglass is a reinforced polymer with glass fibers & is known around the world for its superior durability.

 

2. Cost-Effectiveness

 

This type of roofing goes under rigorous mass production, which means affordability. It also gives you better long-term cost savings too.

 

A small upgrade from 3-Tab Shingles to Architectural Shingles can qualify your roof for a 50-Year Warranty . That's the same as metal, there are a few hitches though :).

 

3. Great in Heat

 

Our Texas heat makes shingle adhesive a little melty on those hot hot days. This actually helps the shingles re-seal and protect your home better.


 

4. Long Lifespans

 

Traditional shingles aka 3-Tab will last you up to 20 years until wear and tear take over. Architectural Shingles aka Lifetime Shingles can last as much as 30 years, if not more.
