Asphalt Shingle Roofing, Installed to Last
Shingle roofing remains the most common — and most cost-effective — choice for Fort Worth homes. We install both 3-tab and architectural shingle to manufacturer spec and current code.
Choosing the Right Shingle for Your Home
Most homes near the Stockyards and across north Fort Worth are on some form of asphalt shingle roof, and for good reason — it's the most affordable material with the widest range of colors and profiles, and a properly installed shingle roof holds up well to North Texas conditions when the underlayment, ventilation, and flashing details are done right.
3-tab shingles are the traditional flat, uniform-cut option — the most budget-friendly choice, typically lasting 15-20 years. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker and layered for more visual depth, generally carry a stronger wind rating, and last 20-30 years. For homeowners in a higher hail-exposure area, we can also install Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which some insurance carriers discount on premiums.
Asphalt Shingle Cost Range
| Type | Cost/sq ft installed |
|---|---|
| 3-tab asphalt shingle | $3.50–$5.50 |
| Architectural shingle | $5.50–$8.00 |
| Class 4 impact-resistant shingle | $6.50–$9.50 |

What's the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
3-tab shingles are flat, uniform, and the most budget-friendly option. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, layered for a more textured look, and generally carry a longer manufacturer warranty and better wind rating.
How much does an asphalt shingle roof cost?
It depends on roof size, pitch, and whether you choose 3-tab or architectural shingle, plus any deck repair needed. We give you an exact written number after a free inspection rather than a phone estimate.
How long do asphalt shingles last in Fort Worth?
3-tab shingles typically run 15-20 years; architectural shingles run 20-30 years. Actual lifespan depends on installation quality, ventilation, and how much hail and UV exposure the roof sees over its life — both significant factors in North Texas.
What are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles?
A shingle rating for impact resistance, tested against simulated hail. Some insurance carriers offer a premium discount for Class 4 shingles given North Texas's hail exposure — worth asking your agent about when you're choosing a replacement material.
