Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs We Install
When it comes to asphalt shingles, there are three types to consider for your project: three-tab asphalt shingles, architectural, and luxury asphalt shingles.
Three-tab Asphalt Shingles
These lightweight and energy-efficient shingles are the most common and easy to maintain and are named for the cutout form that gives them a distinct three-piece look. With proper care, three-tab shingles can last up to 20 years.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
For the longest-lasting shingles, and for the home where curb appeal matters most, architectural shingles are a great choice. With a wider range of color options, dimension-adding laminated styles, and reflective versions to reduce summer cooling costs, you can enjoy the look and feel of these shingles for up to 50 years.
Luxury Asphalt Shingles
For those who value both style and cost, luxury shingles are a worthwhile investment. Cost-effective premium versions of asphalt shingle roofing, the luxury style is designed to emulate high-end cedar or slate roofing with the benefit of costing only 1/10th of the cost of cedar shingles.
The Pros and Cons of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
When making your decision about the type of roofing you prefer, there will always be trade-offs. It’s best to know what to expect. We will work with you to ensure your every concern is addressed so that you choose the shingle that is best for your project.
Pros of Asphalt Shingles
- Affordability: Asphalt is the go-to answer for homeowners on a budget. With proper installation and maintenance, a quality roof doesn’t have to break the bank, especially with our financing options.
- Color Variety: From neutrals to statement colors, there are a variety of options to choose from. Based on your budget, you can even choose asphalt shingle roofing that emulates wood or slate.
- Simple Installation: Asphalt shingle roof repair is simple and the most cost-effective. Should the job require it, new shingles can be installed on top of existing shingles with little difficulty. Asphalt shingles last a lifespan of up to 20 years with proper maintenance.

The employee I spoke with was very polite, knowledgeable, and extremely courteous. When I told him about the missing shingles, we discussed all the options and decided on a plan. The technician arrived on time, performed a thorough inspection, … More and did excellent repair work. If you think you have an issue with your roof, call Craftsman roofing. They were wonderful!

Don't bother, nonresponsive
Edit: Responded after two weeks, setup an appointment to inspect roof damage to the house, and never showed up. My original review stands, don't bother -
Could not ask for any better. Good professional job.

When my home had a unique problem (it’s a hexagon shaped house, that leads to lots of unique problems) we didn’t really know who to call. I’m so glad that I came upon Craftsman Roofing and used Chris and company. He provided me a “thinking … More outside the box” style solution for my unique issue, quoted me a fair price, and showed up when he said. In this day and age that’s a rarity! When things happened unexpectedly as they often do, Chris worked with me and changed the solution midstream to fit both my immediate needs and my budget. On a personal note I’ve never met anyone as honest and genuinely happy to be at work and do their job. Chris is the embodiment of the old adage, if you love what you do you’ll ever work a day in your life. You can tell he cares about each and every job and client. So glad to have him in my contacts now! Will be recommending to everyone!
