Architectural shingles function similarly to three-tab shingles, but they are thicker and more durable. Installation and maintenance of architectural shingles are not any more difficult than with three-tab shingles. Additionally, architectural shingles are more resistant to damage from wind and water, which are the most common forms of roof damage in roofs made of asphalt shingles. However, because architectural shingles have significantly longer lifespans than three-tab shingles, manufacturers often issue a lifetime warranty.

Customers should note that many manufacturers’ warranties are void if the roof has not been maintained to the degree required by the warranty. Danco Roofing recommends most buildings, especially commercial buildings, have their roof inspected bi-annually for this reason. Customers are often required to provide evidence of maintenance in order to succeed in a warranty claim. Danco Roofing’s Asset Management Program provides clients with photos of our work, not only so they see the difference for themselves, but also to ensure that any warranty claims the client makes will be honored by the manufacturer.

Traditional asphalt shingles can be a cost-effective and customizable choice for commercial buildings with steep slope roofs. Our close relationships with suppliers give us top-notch expertise with the material and help us adapt to the needs of any project.
