Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt Shingles: The Best Roof Choice for Your Home
What Are Asphalt Shingles?
Asphalt shingles are small, flat pieces that cover your roof. They keep rain, snow, and wind out of your home. They are the most popular roof type in America. In fact, most homes you see use asphalt shingles.
Each shingle is made in three layers. The middle is a strong mat. The top has small rocks, called granules. The bottom has sticky stuff that helps them hold on tight. Together, these layers make your roof strong.
At CR Roofing, we install asphalt shingles for homes of all sizes. We have helped many families pick the right shingles for their roof.
Types of Asphalt Shingles
Not all asphalt shingles are the same. At CR Roofing, we help you pick the best type for your home. Here are the main kinds.
3-Tab Shingles
These are the most basic kind. They are flat and all look the same. They cost the least and last about 20 years. They are a good pick if you want to save money.
Architectural Shingles
These are also called dimensional shingles. They are thicker than 3-tab shingles. They have a bumpy look that adds style to your home. They can last 30 years or more. Most homeowners pick these today.
Luxury Shingles
These are the top kind of asphalt shingle. They look like wood or slate but cost less. They are very thick and strong. They can last up to 50 years. Pick these if you want the best roof.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asphalt Shingles
How long do asphalt shingles last?
Most asphalt shingles last 20 to 30 years. Luxury shingles can last up to 50 years. How long they last depends on the weather and how well you take care of them.
Can I put new shingles over old ones?
Sometimes yes, but not always. If your old roof is in bad shape or has two layers already, you need to take the old ones off first. CR Roofing will check and tell you what is best.
What is the best time of year to replace a roof?
Fall is often the best time. The weather is cool and dry. But we can put on roofs in spring and summer too. We do not work in heavy rain or snow.
Do asphalt shingles come with a warranty?
Yes! Most shingles come with a 25 to 50 year warranty from the maker. CR Roofing also gives you a warranty on our work.
How do I know what color shingles to pick?
Think about your house color, trim, and style. Dark shingles make small homes look bigger. Light shingles keep homes cool in hot weather. CR Roofing can show you samples to help you choose.
