What Types of Shingles Does L&L Roofing Install?
If you’re looking into a roof replacement, you’ve probably asked:
“What kinds of shingles are out there—and which ones do you install?”
At L&L Roofing & Construction, we focus on asphalt roofing that is reliable, cost-effective, and built to last in North Georgia’s climate.
Here are the most common types we install for homes across Gainesville, Dawsonville, Buford, and beyond.
FAQ: What are the most common types of shingles you install?
1. Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles – Most Popular
These are the go-to for most homes in our area.
Why Homeowners Love Them:
- Thicker than 3-tab shingles
- Layered look adds dimension
- Wind resistance up to 110–130 mph
- Lifespan: 25–30 years in Georgia
We recommend architectural shingles for most roof replacements due to their balance of value, performance, and curb appeal.
2. 3-Tab Shingles – Basic and Budget-Friendly
These traditional flat-profile shingles were once the standard.
Pros:
- Most affordable up-front
- Easy to install and repair
- Lighter weight
Cons:
- Less durable in storms
- Shorter lifespan (12–15 years)
- Prone to curling or blow-offs over time
We still install 3-tab roof when budget is the top priority—but always educate customers on the trade-offs.
3. Impact-Resistant Shingles (Class 3 or Class 4) – Storm-Ready
If your home sees frequent hail or high winds, these are worth considering.
Benefits:
- Engineered to resist hail and debris impact
- Often qualify for insurance discounts
- Maintain appearance and performance longer
- Often rated to last 30+ years
We recommend impact-rated shingles to homeowners in storm-prone parts of Georgia, especially after hail damage.
4. Designer or Luxury Shingles – For Premium Homes
These mimic high-end materials like slate or cedar shake.
Highlights:
- Bold, dimensional styles
- Built thicker for added durability
- Typically lifetime warranties from manufacturers
- Custom color blends available
We install luxury shingles on homes where style and long-term value are top priorities.
