Commercial Asphalt Shingle Roof Repair and Replacement in the Minneapolis Area
Architectural (Dimensional) Shingled Roofs VS 3-Tab Shingles
For commercial asphalt shingle roof repair and roof replacement, Roof Repair PhD prefers to use Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles. Asphalt Shingles come in two standard design options: Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles, and 3-Tab Shingles. 3-Tab are essentially flat simple shingles with a uniform shape and size. They use less material than Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles and are therefore lighter and lower cost for both the material and the installation. They are also thinner. As a result, they do not last as long, and the Manufacturer’s Warranty is limited compared to Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles for commercial asphalt shingle roof repair and roof replacement.
Architectural Shingles Offer More Shadow, Varied Shapes and Sizes
3-Tab are still the most installed in lower-value homes, such as those used as rental properties. However, they are declining in popularity in favor of Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles. Dimensional, or Architectural Shingles are thicker and stronger, and they offer more aesthetic appeal with their “dimensional” look with more shadow and varied shapes and sizes.
Architectural (Dimensional) Shingled Roofs Have Better Warranty
Although Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles are more expensive to install, they come with a longer Manufacturer’s Warranty, sometimes up to 50 Years. However, it is worth noting that most Asphalt Shingles are still likely to be replaced after no longer than 24-30 years, and a long warranty such as this is often prorated. For commercial asphalt shingle roof repair and roof replacement, Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles will stand up better to the elements and offer you less potential for leaking (and the high costs of the damage that can come with roof leaks), typically for a longer period. While 3-Tab shingles typically need to be replaced after 15-18 years, Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles typically last 24-30 years.
