Composition Roofing Options for the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex

Most Common Types:

1. Laminate Shingles – These are basically a solid layer of asphalt shingle with an ‘architectural cut’ layer laminated on top for added protection and looks. Most manufacturers are offering a ‘lifetime warranty’ for this style of shingle, which is usually heavily prorated. This style of shingles can offer up to 120 mph wind rating if nailed properly.
2. 3-Tab Shingles – This is your entry-level product providing the minimum coverages. These shingles carry approximately a 40-50 mph wind rating and are highly susceptible to wind damage.

Our experience with composition roofing is that in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, the composition roofs last around 15-20 years before they start having some major issues. These issues are typically granule loss, blistering, problems staying sealed down, and the shingles drying out and becoming brittle.

With all of the potential issues on your composition roof, it is very important that you have your next roof installed to the best possible standards and also make sure that are using the best quality of products that are available. If you take care to address these two things, you will be well on your way to a roof that will be relatively maintenance and problem-free.

At J&L, we always use the best products available. In composition roofing, we have found the top manufacturers to be GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning.
