Asphalt Shingle Roofing, Installed to Spec
Still the most common — and most cost-effective — roofing material in Oak Cliff. We install both 3-tab and architectural shingle systems, and we'll help you pick the right one for your budget and roof.
3-Tab vs. Architectural Shingles
Both are asphalt shingle systems, but they differ enough in cost and lifespan to be worth understanding before you choose:
- 3-tab shingles — flat profile, uniform look, the most affordable option at roughly $3.50-$5.50 per square foot installed, with a 15-20 year typical lifespan.
- Architectural shingles — thicker, layered for dimension and a more upscale look, running roughly $5.50-$8.00 per square foot with a 20-30 year typical lifespan.
Most of what we install today is architectural, simply because the price difference has narrowed while the lifespan and hail performance gap has stayed meaningful.
What's Included
- Tear-off of existing roofing material and deck inspection.
- New underlayment and flashing, not just shingles laid over old materials.
- Manufacturer-spec installation to preserve warranty coverage.
- Full cleanup, including a magnetic nail sweep of the yard and driveway.

What's the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
3-tab shingles are flat, uniform, and the most affordable option, typically lasting 15-20 years. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, layered for a more textured look, and generally last 20-30 years — most of what we install today is architectural for that reason.

How long do asphalt shingles last in North Texas?
Realistically 15-25 years depending on the product and how much direct sun and hail exposure the roof gets — Texas summers and hail activity both shorten the practical lifespan compared to milder climates.

In most cases yes. We'll walk through color and profile options that fit your home's period character, especially important on Kessler Park and Winnetka Heights bungalows where the roof is part of the visible architecture.
