The Homeowners Choice
Benefits of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles offer a practical combination of affordability, appearance, and weather resistance. Modern products are available with different performance features, allowing homeowners to prioritize the qualities that matter most to them.
1
Affordable Roofing Options
Asphalt shingles generally cost less to install than metal, tile, and many other roofing materials. Different grades are available at different price points, giving homeowners flexibility when balancing upfront costs, durability, and appearance.
2
Versatile Colors and Styles
Shingles come in a wide selection of colors, textures, and profiles. Traditional earth tones, darker shades, and blended colors can complement brick, siding, and other exterior finishes. Dimensional shingles can also create the appearance of more expensive roofing materials.
3
Reliable Weather Protection
Asphalt shingles are designed to shed rainwater and protect the underlying roofing system. Many modern products offer enhanced wind resistance and algae-resistant granules, which can be particularly useful in Southwest Georgia’s humid climate. Performance varies by product, making proper material selection and installation important.

Types of Asphalt Shingles We Install

Three-tab shingles
Three-tab shingles have a flat, uniform appearance with evenly spaced cutouts that create a traditional roof pattern. They are generally the most economical asphalt shingle option, making them attractive to homeowners working within a tighter budget.
Architectural shingles
Architectural shingles, also called dimensional or laminated shingles, feature multiple layers that create a thicker profile and more pronounced shadow lines. Their construction gives roofs greater visual depth and can resemble the appearance of natural wood shakes.
Designer shingles
Designer shingles are premium asphalt roofing products manufactured with specialized shapes, textures, and color blends. Some are designed to reproduce the appearance of slate, cedar shakes, or other high-end roofing materials.
Color and style
Roof color can significantly affect your home’s overall appearance. We can help you compare available colors against your siding, brick, trim, and other exterior features. Viewing samples in natural daylight can also help you understand how different shades and color blends will look on your roof.

Questions
Asphalt Shingle Questions
What is the difference between three-tab and architectural shingles?
Three-tab shingles have a flat, uniform look. Architectural shingles are thicker and layered, which gives a more dimensional appearance.
Are shingles a good fit for our weather?
Asphalt shingles are widely used across the Southeast. We explain the options made for wind and rain, and we install them with proper flashing and ventilation.
What happens to my old shingles?
We remove them as part of the job, check the decking underneath and clean up the property when we finish.
How do I choose a color?
Start with your siding, brick and trim, then look at the homes around you. We are happy to talk it through. If you are weighing materials, see our metal roofing page too.
