Colorado Roofing Exteriors (Shingle Types)
The majority of roofs today are shingled with asphalt shingles. Asphalt shingles are reasonably priced and easy to repair.
3-Tab Asphalt shingles are standard-size fiberglass shingles.
Architectural shingles are considered high end asphalt shingles due to their quality and distinctive textured look.
Cost Difference
Typically, the cost of 30 year architectural shingles is only about 10-20% more than the traditional 3 tab shingles. Some of the higher end
products can be as much as twice as expensive to buy. Laminated shingles help raise the curb appeal of a home and make it more valuable in
an appraisal. Depending on the type of roofing material currently installed on your home, many insurance companies offer a discount on your
premium when replacing with an asphalt shingle.
Other types of roofing materials available include wood, tile, slate, metal, and rubber.
