Pros And Cons Of Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles are a popular choice for their durability and stylish appearance. Made thicker and with a layered design, they offer better protection and a more upscale look than 3-tab shingles.

Pros:

– Longer lifespan: Architectural shingles can last 25-30 years or more with proper care.

– Greater durability: They withstand high winds and severe weather better than 3-tab shingles.

– Enhanced curb appeal: Their dimensional, layered look adds depth and visual interest.

– Better warranty terms than lower quality shingles.

– Variety of color choices to meet your taste and HOA requirements.

Cons:  

– Higher cost: Architectural shingles are pricier than 3-tab shingles.

– Heavier weight: Their thickness requires stronger roof support, which may add to installation costs.

– More complex installation: Installation takes more time and expertise, impacting labor costs.

Overall, architectural shingles offer long-lasting protection and improved aesthetics, making them a solid investment if you’re looking for a durable, attractive roof.
