What Is an Asphalt Shingle Roof?

Asphalt shingle roofing is the most widely used residential roofing system in the United States due to its affordability, fire resistance, and ease of installation and repair compared to other materials. Although called asphalt shingles, they are typically made with a fiberglass base or, in the case of organic shingles, a cellulose base. This base is coated with a layer of asphalt and then covered with ceramic granules for added protection and durability.

Is an Asphalt Shingle Roof the Right Choice for Your Home?

Asphalt roof shingles are a top choice for many homeowners because they provide a range of valuable benefits, including:

  • Asphalt shingles are more affordable per square foot than other roofing materials like metal, wood, or clay.
  • Damaged shingles can be individually replaced, so you don’t have to replace the whole roof.
  • They come in a wide range of colors and styles to perfectly match your home’s look.
  • When properly installed, most asphalt roofs last about 20 years, with premium options offering even longer lifespans.

Types of Asphalt Shingles

There are three main shingle types to choose from

At Njall Construction, we carry top-quality asphalt shingles from trusted manufacturers and can help you pick the perfect fit for your roof — whether you want to save with three-tab shingles, go for the durable and attractive architectural style, or make a statement with luxury designer shingles.

  • Three-tab shingles are the most affordable option, but they are also the simplest. They get their name from the three tabs on each strip and lay flat against the roof.
  • Dimensional shingles, also called architectural or laminate shingles, have a layered, textured look that mimics wood shakes. They’re a bit tougher and definitely more stylish than three-tab shingles.
  • Luxury shingles, or premium shingles, are larger than other types and have a much longer warranty. Designed to look like slate tiles, this is a beautiful option that can improve your home's curb appeal, but they are significantly more expensive than standard architectural shingles.

How We Replace Asphalt Roofs

To ensure longevity and durability, we follow a comprehensive, multi-step installation process for your asphalt shingle roof, beginning with the complete removal of old shingles and underlayment. Next, we thoroughly inspect the roof deck to identify any necessary repairs or restoration.

 We then install a new, water-resistant underlayment designed to protect against ice dams and harsh weather like blowing rain or snow. Roof deck protection is added to help ventilate moisture from the attic while providing extra resistance against water intrusion. 

Starter strip shingles are installed to enhance the roof’s appearance and improve wind resistance. We then install your chosen high-quality shingles, ensuring maximum protection against wind and moisture. To boost energy efficiency and reduce moisture buildup, we add Cobra attic ventilation. Finally, hip and ridge shingles are installed to prevent water from infiltrating vulnerable roof areas.

Frequently Asked Questions on Asphalt Roofing

What Is the Lifespan of a Shingle Roof?

Three-tab asphalt shingles generally last about 20 years, while higher-end luxury or architectural shingles often have a longer lifespan, provided they aren’t damaged by storms or severe weather. The longevity of your roof shingles depends on various factors, including the type of material, quality, installation, and local climate. For more details, please check out our comprehensive guide, “How Long Do Roof Shingles Last?”

Yes. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we proudly provide a 50-year warranty covering both shingles and other materials, along with our workmanship.

We usually complete the removal of your old roof and install the new asphalt shingle roof within two to three days.

Reroofing by installing new asphalt shingles over existing ones is possible in some situations, but we generally advise against it. This practice can complicate future repairs and inspections, and it may also void the manufacturer’s warranty on the shingles.

Organic shingles contain a higher asphalt content, making them generally more durable, especially in colder climates. On the other hand, fiberglass asphalt shingles offer better fire resistance.
