Common Questions

Asphalt Shingle FAQs

Yes — dimensional asphalt shingles are the most widely installed roofing material in Florida and across the U.S. Modern architectural shingles are specifically engineered for hot, humid climates and carry wind ratings that meet Florida Building Code requirements. When properly installed with the right underlayment and ventilation, they perform excellently in the Gulf Coast environment.

Quality dimensional shingles typically last 25–40 years in Southwest Florida when properly installed and maintained. Factors like attic ventilation, UV exposure, and storm activity affect lifespan. We install shingles with algae-resistant coatings and Class 4 impact resistance to maximize their longevity in our climate.

3-tab shingles are a flat, single-layer design that is cheaper but less durable. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are multi-layered, giving a textured appearance and far greater wind and impact resistance. We exclusively install dimensional shingles — we don't use 3-tab products because they don't hold up in Florida's climate.

Most standard residential shingle replacements in Southwest Florida are completed in one to two days. We clean up completely each day and protect the interior if we can't fully close the roof by end of work.
