Decisions, decisions. So many to be made — especially when it comes to major renovations around your home. From landscaping to a pool, to paint color schemes and trims, it seemingly never stops. And then there’s your roof. Yep, that thing on top of your head which keeps you and your family safe…and dry (hopefully)! Your roof is a big deal. A decision you will have to live with for at least 20 or 30 years.

Chances are that if you’re considering replacing your roof, you may currently what’s called a standard ‘3tab’ roof. It looks like the picture on the left the image. A standard ‘architectural’ shingle looks the one on the right.

Reeves Roof - Asphalt Shingles Type

So what’s the difference between the two roofing types, you ask?

Here’s the advantages of choosing an architectural shingle over a standard builders’ grade 3tab roofing shingle.

  • Architectural shingles have much better warranties.
  • Architectural shingles have much higher wind ratings. Most of them offer wind ratings up to 120 miles per hour! That’s in counter to a 3tab which at best offers a 60-80 miles per hour warranty.
  • Architectural shingles give your home up to a 40% better ‘curb appeal’ according to leading real estate groups!
  • Architectural shingles increase the value of your home by thousands of dollars. See you local real estate professional for a better estimate of just how much equity you would gain by upgrading to an architectural shingle roofing system.
  • Architectural shingles can now last a LIFETIME! Like everything, as modern technology advances — it advances everything. Even those little fiberglass pieces which are glued together on top of your roof! 3tab roofing systems only offer up to 25 – 30 years warranty at most!

That said, choosing the right roof materials is crucial. It’s your main source of protection against the elements — the blistering sun, the debris from big storms, moisture and mildew, ice and snow. You want to make sure you pick the right shingle and roofing materials for your home.
