This is totally a personal decision, based on your budget and your tastes. There are 3 main types of asphalt shingles: 3-tab, architectural shingles, and luxury shingles.
3-tab shingles are what many older homes have. They have a flat appearance, and are the budget option. They will last 20 years or so, given good conditions. But keep in mind if you belong to an HOA, they probably won’t allow 3-tab shingles.
Architectural shingles, or dimensional shingles, give a more layered, 3-dimensional look to your new roof. They’re the most popular shingle available today. They’re better-looking than the 3-tab shingle, will last longer, but won’t break the bank.
Luxury shingles, or designer shingles, are a top of the line shingle crafted to look like slate shingles or shake shingles. While they last longer, they carry a hefty price tag. If you have a higher end home, they may be worth it for the look they provide.

If you’re wondering how to get insurance to pay for roof replacement, you’re not alone. In some limited cases, your homeowner’s insurance will cover roof replacement. If you need a new roof due to storm damage such as a tree falling on your home or hail damage, that should be covered.
But if you’re getting a new roof because the current one is just old and starting to leak, your insurance won’t cover that. But they will give you a discount on your premiums if you tell them that you have a brand-new roof.
We can work with you or your insurance company when it comes to paying for your roof replacement.
