Whether you’re looking to preserve an older building or protect new construction, a high-quality set of shingles will keep your home or business in good shape.
Shingles Below the Surface
While we see shingles all the time, most people aren’t aware of how they’re made. Every asphalt shingle contains three materials. The fiberglass mat is a strong base. Once coated in adhesive, the colored granules provide more structure and unique color to the shingle. There are three types of shingles your roofer will likely offer.
- Three-Tab Asphalt Shingles: A flat sheet of three shingles, three-tab shingles are the most affordable option most roofers offer.
- Architectural Asphalt Shingles: Architectural shingles are a middle ground, with added protection and a more dimensional look than three-tab shingles.
- Premium Asphalt Shingles: In towns with old-world charm like Hutto, premium asphalt shingles can contribute to the beautiful structures of the past by giving your home the look of a wood shake or slate roof for a fraction of the price.
Making an Informed Roofing Choice
Shingled roofing is prevalent for a reason. They’re a quality choice, no matter which style suits your home. While most homeowners will opt for shingles when choosing a new roof, it’s still important to consider some of the pros and cons of a shingled roof.
Pros

- Shingles can be treated to prevent mold and mildew.

- The makeup of shingles is constantly adapting to offer more impact and fire resistance.
Cons
- Shingles are common, so your home may not stand out.

- Other materials naturally offer more protection for your home.
