Architectural Shingles: What Are the Benefits?

create • Jun 15, 2021

For homeowners seeking a high-quality shingle product, architectural shingles may be the answer. They are considered the best of the best, a superior product on the market today. At Modtek Roofing, we are seeing an increasing number of South Florida residents choosing to install architectural shingles. Currently, they are the only shingles we recommend to our customers.

They are also:
  • Water resistance
  • Impact resistance

  • Wind resistance

Architectural shingles are durable and structurally sound.

The classic appearance and durability of architectural shingles are a popular feature and a large part of why they are the desired roofing material for many property owners.

If you closely examine the engineering, you will notice there are two layers. The two layers are sealed together with a  strong adhesive, a process known as lamination. This provides structure and resistance to the shingles, an important component to keeping the roof intact during heavy storms or strong winds.

Moreover, both layers have a fiberglass core. Fiberglass helps provide fire and heat resistance, which is ideal for warmer clients.  They also aid in maintaining the roof structure during periods of inclement weather.

Shingle roofs may raise the value of your home.

 

The value architectural shingles retain and the return on investment can be beneficial. These shingles may raise the value of a home.  If you plan to sell in the near future, then installing or repairing your architectural shingle roof may be the best option.

Additionally, potential homebuyers tend to highly value these shingles for their aesthetic and traditional look.

Generally speaking, it’s good practice to ensure your roof is in good health before it hits the market. The roof is one of the first components of the home an inspector evaluates when determining its value. Newly installed shingles have been found to offer an excellent return on investment to homeowners.

Architectural shingles are easy to install.

An additional benefit to architectural shingles is the easy installation process. When viewing a roofing quote, you will notice that a portion of the cost is dedicated to labor. In general, architectural shingles are easy to install, saving property owners on labor costs.
