Asphalt shingles have always been a popular choice for roofing because of their affordability and durability. There has always been a variety of styles and colors to choose from, but now, there is even more reason why asphalt shingles are so popular: luxury shingles.

Luxury shingles are higher-end asphalt shingles with a design mimicking “old-world” roofing shingles. You can find premium asphalt shingles that look like natural slate or cedar shakes, providing enhanced aesthetic appeal for your roof. Better yet, luxury asphalt shingles are designed to also be more durable than your average three-tab shingles, boasting an average lifespan of up to 50 years when properly maintained.
