Asphalt Shingles

Going through the asphalt roof replacement process can be a breeze when knowing which styles and type of roof you want.

Did you know there's more than one option? There are actually 3 types of asphalt shingles; 3-tab, dimensional, and luxury.

3-Tab Asphalt Shingle

3-tab asphalt shingles lay flat and get their name from the 3 tabs that are on each shingle strip.

• Cost: 3-tab shingles are the cheapest of the asphalt shingles

• Warranty: They come out of the package with a 25-year warranty from manufacturer

• Lifespan: With adequate attic ventilation and proper roof installation, up to 25 years

Dimensional Asphalt Shingle

Dimensional shingles give you a good looking random pattern and simulate the look of a wood shake roof.

• Cost: Around 15% more than a 3-tab shingle

• Warranty: They come out of package with a 30-year warranty (prorated after 10 years) from the manufacturer. You’ll also have the opportunity to register your dimensional asphalt shingle roof with the manufacturer to get the 50-year non-prorated enhanced warranty.

• Lifespan: With adequate attic ventilation and proper roof installation, up to 30 years.

Luxury Asphalt Shingles

Luxury or premium shingles are actually larger than the other asphalt shingles and are made to look like slate.

• Cost: Almost double the cost of a dimensional asphalt shingle.

• Warranty: They come out of the package with a 30-year prorated warranty from the manufacturer. Just like dimensional shingles, you have the opportunity to get the 50-year non-prorated enhanced warranty.

• Lifespan: With adequate attic ventilation and proper roof installation, up to 50 years

Cedar Roof

Cedar roof is another type of roofing system that uses natural wood (cedar) materials as shingles or shakes. Cedar roof is different from slate roofing in several aspects, such as the appearance, cost, durability, and maintenance. Here are some comparisons between cedar roof and slate roofing that you may find useful:

• Appearance: Cedar roof has a rustic and natural look that can complement various architectural styles. Cedar roof can also change color over time, from reddish-brown to silvery-gray, depending on the weather and sun exposure. Slate roofing has a more elegant and refined look that can suit traditional and colonial-style homes. Slate roofing also has a variety of colors and textures to choose from, but they do not fade or change much over time.

• Durability: Cedar roof is durable and resistant to fire, weather, and insects, but it works best in temperate climates with low humidity. Cedar roof can last for 30 to 40 years with proper care and maintenance. Slate roofing is more durable, fireproof, and waterproof than cedar roof, and it can last for over 65 years. Slate roofing can also withstand harsher climates and conditions than cedar roof.

• Maintenance: Cedar roof requires regular inspection and maintenance to prevent damage from cracks, leaks, moss, algae, or rot. Cedar roof also needs to be treated with preservatives or sealants to protect it from moisture and insects. Slate roofing requires less maintenance than cedar roof, but it still needs to be checked for cracks, leaks, or broken tiles. Slate roofing also requires skilled installation and repair by a professional roofer who has experience with slate roofing.

Slate Roofing

Slate roofing is a type of roofing system that uses natural or synthetic slate tiles as shingles. Slate is a durable, fireproof, and waterproof material that can last for over 100 years.

Slate roofing also has a natural beauty and a variety of colors and textures to choose from. However, slate roofing is also expensive, heavy, and requires skilled installation and maintenance.

• Slate roofing can be installed in three different tile options: multi-width, single-width, and province. Multi-width tiles provide the most authentic and flexible look, while single-width tiles reduce material and installation time. Province tiles replicate traditional slate with stunning accuracy.

• Slate roofing requires regular inspection and maintenance to prevent damage from cracks, leaks, moss, algae, or ice dams. Slate tiles can also break or fall off due to impact or improper installation. It is recommended to hire a professional roofer who has experience with slate roofing to handle any repairs or replacements.

• Slate roofing can enhance the value and curb appeal of your home, as well as provide protection from fire, weather, and mold. Slate roofing is also environmentally friendly, as it is made from natural materials that can be recycled or reused.
