Types of Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles come in several styles, each offering unique benefits and aesthetics. Buffalo Roofing & Exteriors provides guidance in selecting the best type for your home:
- 3-Tab Shingles: Known for their simple, classic look, 3-tab shingles are the most affordable asphalt shingle option. They’re lightweight, easy to install, and effective at providing basic weather resistance.
- Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles: With a thicker profile and textured appearance, architectural shingles are more durable and provide a premium look that adds depth to your roof. They’re also more resistant to wind and are a popular choice for homeowners seeking added value and curb appeal.
- Luxury Shingles: Mimicking the look of slate or cedar shakes, luxury shingles offer a high-end aesthetic while retaining the benefits of asphalt. They’re heavier, providing additional durability, and are ideal for homeowners who want to elevate the appearance of their roof without the high costs of premium materials.
Benefits of Asphalt Shingles for Coastal Homes
Living in a coastal area like Corpus Christi means facing high humidity, salt air, and strong winds. Asphalt shingles offer several advantages for coastal homes:
- Resilience to Wind and Moisture: Asphalt shingles are designed to endure various weather conditions, including high winds, rain, and coastal humidity. Choosing quality shingles with high wind ratings can add even more peace of mind for homeowners in areas prone to strong gusts.
- Affordable Maintenance: Coastal weather can wear down roofing materials faster, but asphalt shingles are affordable to repair and replace, allowing you to keep your roof in top shape without breaking the bank.
- UV Protection: The sun’s rays are often intense near the coast, which can accelerate the breakdown of roofing materials. Many asphalt shingles are treated to resist UV rays, ensuring they hold up longer under prolonged sun exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve got answers
What are the main types of asphalt shingles?
There are three main types: 3-tab, architectural (also called dimensional), and luxury shingles. 3-tab shingles are the simplest and most affordable option, with a classic flat look.
Architectural shingles are thicker and more textured, and they resist wind better. Luxury shingles are heavier and can mimic the look of slate or cedar shakes.
Are asphalt shingles a good choice for Texas weather?
Yes, quality asphalt shingles are built to handle rain, strong winds, and even hail. They also come in many colors, so you can pick lighter tones if heat is a concern.
The right type matters, since thicker architectural shingles generally hold up to wind better than basic 3-tab shingles.
How long do asphalt shingles last?
Lifespan depends on the shingle type, the quality of the installation, and how well the roof is maintained. Thicker architectural and luxury shingles usually outlast basic 3-tab shingles.
Texas sun, storms, and poor attic ventilation can all shorten a roof’s life. Regular inspections help you catch small problems early.
How much does an asphalt shingle roof cost?
Asphalt is one of the most affordable roofing materials, but the final price depends on your roof size, pitch, and shingle type. Tear-off of the old roof, repairs to the decking underneath, and extras like new flashing also affect the total.
We offer free estimates, so you can see the real number for your home before you decide.
Can you repair my shingle roof, or do I need a full replacement?
Often a repair is enough when damage is limited to a few shingles or one leaky spot. Replacing individual shingles, resealing weak areas, and patching leaks can restore the roof quickly.
If the roof is old, worn across large areas, or leaking in several places, a full re-roof is usually the better value. An inspection will show which one fits your roof.
What is the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
3-tab shingles are lighter, flatter, and the lowest-cost asphalt option. Architectural shingles have a thicker profile and a textured, layered look that adds depth.
Most homeowners who want better wind resistance and curb appeal choose architectural shingles, even though they cost more up front.
What does an asphalt shingle replacement involve?
We remove the old shingles, check the roof deck and other hidden problems, and fix any damage before installing the new roof. Then the new shingles, flashing, and sealing details go on.
Shingle roofs install faster than most other materials, so your daily routine is disrupted as little as possible.
Will my insurance help pay for storm damage to my shingle roof?
It depends on your policy and your insurer, and we cannot predict how a claim will turn out. Many policies treat hail and wind damage differently from wear and age.
We do help with insurance claim support, including photos and documentation of the damage, so your claim is clear and organized.
Can asphalt shingles be financed?
Yes, many homeowners spread out the cost of a new shingle roof so they can fix a leaking or aging roof right away. Financing is available through Synchrony, subject to credit approval, and you can see if you prequalify with no impact to your credit score.
