Understanding Your Asphalt Shingle Options
Modern asphalt shingles offer more variety than ever before. As your local Utah shingle roofer, we can help you navigate the options to find the perfect fit for your home and budget:
- Architectural Shingles (Dimensional Shingles): This is the most popular choice for Utah homeowners today. Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than traditional shingles, with a multi-dimensional, laminated design that creates a rich, textured appearance similar to wood shake. They offer superior wind resistance, a longer lifespan, and significantly increase your home’s curb appeal with their high-definition look.
- Luxury Shingles (Designer Shingles): For homeowners seeking premium protection and a standout aesthetic, luxury shingles are the top of the line. They are designed to replicate the appearance of natural materials like slate or cedar shake, but with the performance and lower maintenance of asphalt. They offer the greatest durability and often come with Class 4 impact resistance, making them an excellent choice for hail-prone areas.
- 3-Tab Shingles: The most basic and economical option. 3-tab shingles have a flat, single-layer design that provides reliable, standard protection. While less common for new home installations today, we are experts at repairing and replacing existing 3-tab shingle roofs on homes, garages, and sheds.
Why Choose Asphalt Shingles for Your Utah Home?
- Proven Performance: Modern asphalt shingles are engineered to withstand Utah’s four-season climate, from heavy snow and ice to high winds and intense UV exposure. Many options come with a Class A fire rating, the highest available.
- Cost-Effective: They provide one of the best lifecycle costs of any roofing material, offering excellent durability and a high return on investment for a reasonable upfront cost. They are the most affordable roof replacement option for most homeowners.
- Versatility in Style: With a vast array of colors, textures, and styles available, it’s easy to find a shingle that perfectly complements your home’s siding, brick, and trim.
- Ease of Repair: If a few shingles are damaged in a storm, a professional roofer can typically replace them individually, making shingle roof leak repair a straightforward process.
- Trusted Brands: As certified installers for leading manufacturers like GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, we can offer the best products and the most robust warranties in the industry, including limited lifetime warranties.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shingle Roofing
What’s the difference between architectural shingles and 3-tab shingles?
Architectural shingles are thicker, have a more varied, textured look, and typically come with a longer warranty and higher wind rating (up to 130 mph) than the flat, single-layer 3-tab shingles. They are the modern standard for residential roofing due to their superior durability and appearance.
How long do asphalt shingle roofs last in Utah?
A professionally installed architectural shingle roof can be expected to last 20-30 years in Utah. The lifespan depends on factors like attic ventilation, maintenance, and the specific quality of the shingle.
What are Class 4 impact resistant shingles and do I need them?
Class 4 shingles have the highest impact rating and are designed to resist damage from hail up to 2 inches in diameter. In areas of Utah that frequently experience hailstorms, investing in Class 4 shingles can prevent costly damage and may even qualify you for a discount on your homeowner’s insurance.
My HOA has specific color requirements. Can you match them?
Yes. We have access to a wide portfolio of shingle colors and styles from multiple manufacturers and are experienced at working within HOA guidelines to find an approved option that you will love.
