Asphalt shingle roofing done right
Shingles cover most roofs in America because they work: affordable, proven, and quick to install. The difference between a 15-year roof and a 25-year roof is the crew and the details — underlayment, ventilation, flashing, and nailing. Compare quotes from verified shingle specialists.

Architectural shingles
The modern standard — thicker, longer-lived, better wind ratings than 3-tab.
Impact-resistant shingles
Class 4 shingles can shrug off hail and may earn insurance discounts.
Repairs and matching
Good crews match existing shingles so repairs do not look like patches.
Ventilation and underlayment
The invisible parts that decide how long the visible parts last.
What it costs
Shingle work is the most price-competitive roofing category — which is exactly why comparing multiple quotes pays. Same roof, same materials, meaningfully different numbers.

How long do shingles last here?
In the Carolinas, expect roughly 15–25 years depending on shingle class, ventilation, sun exposure, and storms. Architectural and impact-rated shingles sit at the long end.
3-tab or architectural?
Architectural nearly always wins on value now: better wind ratings, longer warranties, and a small price difference. 3-tab mainly makes sense for matching existing roofs.
