About the shingle
Asphalt shingles dominate the American roofing market for good reason: they offer an unmatched combination of affordability, durability, and aesthetic versatility. Comprising over 80% of residential roofs nationwide, these shingles feature a fiberglass mat coated with asphalt and mineral granules that effectively shield homes from UV rays, precipitation, and temperature fluctuations. Their popularity stems from practical advantages: relatively straightforward installation, 20-30 year lifespans, minimal maintenance requirements, and price points that fit most homeowners’ budgets. Modern manufacturing advancements have expanded design options dramatically, with premium architectural and dimensional varieties mimicking the texture and dimension of slate, wood shake, or tile at a fraction of the cost. This perfect balance of performance, price, and curb appeal makes asphalt shingles the overwhelming choice for residential roofing needs across diverse climate zones and architectural styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes architectural shingles different from 3-tab shingles?
Three-tab shingles are flat, single-layer products with a uniform appearance and typically last 15-20 years. Architectural (or dimensional) shingles are multi-layered with varied thicknesses creating a textured, high-end appearance similar to wood shakes or slate. They’re heavier, more durable (lasting 25-40 years), more wind-resistant, and offer better curb appeal. While architectural shingles cost about 20-40% more initially, their extended lifespan and enhanced aesthetics make them a cost-effective investment for many homeowners.
How long do asphalt shingles typically last?
Standard asphalt shingles generally last 20-30 years, while premium architectural or dimensional shingles can last 25-40 years. Factors affecting lifespan include local climate conditions, proper installation, adequate ventilation, and regular maintenance. At All Square Roofing, we offer manufacturer warranties on materials and our own workmanship guarantee to ensure your roof performs optimally throughout its expected lifespan.
How do I know when it’s time to replace my asphalt shingle roof?
Look for these warning signs: shingles that are cracked, curled, or missing; excessive granule loss (visible in gutters); bald spots on shingles; moss or algae growth; visible leaks or water stains in your attic or ceilings; sagging roof deck; and higher energy bills. Most importantly, if your roof is approaching the end of its warranty period (20+ years), it’s wise to have a professional inspection. At All Square Roofing, we offer free roof assessments to help you determine if repairs or replacement is the better option.
Are asphalt shingles environmentally friendly?
Today’s asphalt shingles are more eco-friendly than previous generations. Many manufacturers now incorporate recycled materials and offer cool roof options that reflect more sunlight to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, old asphalt shingles can be recycled into road paving materials rather than ending up in landfills. All Square Roofing partners with local recycling facilities to ensure your old roofing materials are properly recycled whenever possible. We also offer energy-efficient shingle options from top manufacturers that can help reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
