Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing material in the Bay Area — and for good reason. They offer the best balance of cost, durability, and curb appeal for most residential homes. Modern architectural shingles have largely replaced the old 3-tab style, providing better wind resistance, longer warranties, and a more substantial look.

In the Bay Area's moderate climate, asphalt shingles perform well across most neighborhoods. They handle fog moisture, winter rain, and summer heat without the premium price of tile or slate. Cool-rated options reflect solar heat and meet California Title 24 energy requirements — increasingly important for South Bay and inland communities.

We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning architectural shingles — all backed by manufacturer warranties plus our own 25-year workmanship guarantee. Whether you are re-roofing a 1960s ranch in Sunnyvale or updating a split-level in San Mateo, asphalt shingles offer the fastest installation and lowest cost per square foot.
