Shingle Roofing
High-Quality Shingle Roof Installations for Homes in Palm Beach County
Although we live in the Sunshine State, Florida’s unpredictable and sometimes harsh weather conditions pose a challenge for roofing systems. Hurricanes, heavy and consistent rainfall, pounding winds from tropical storms, and relentless heat can all take their toll on any roof, especially shingle roofs. For this reason, the State has specific criteria in place for roof shingles. These regulations require that all roofs must have algae-resistant shingles, which last much longer than traditional shingles. There are also installation requirements to ensure maximum efficiency. As always, the best way to increase the lifespan of shingles or other types of residential roofing systems is to conduct regular maintenance.
SeaBreeze Roofing Company offers two of the most common types of shingles roofing systems used on homes in South Florida: single-layer 3-tab asphalt shingles and architectural dimensional layered asphalt shingles.
Shingle Roof Benefits
Benefits of a Shingle Roof for Homes in Boynton Beach
Both 3-tab and architectural asphalt shingle roofs are a more affordable option compared to metal and tile roofing solutions. For this reason, they are the most common roof type you’ll see in Palm Beach County, so your shingle roof will blend in naturally in your neighborhood.
Shingles come in a variety of colors and styles and are easy to install and repair when needed. Since architectural shingles are the most durable option for Florida roofs, they are more expensive than 3-tab shingles. However, they provide a longer lifespan, some even lasting up to 50 years with the proper maintenance. Architectural shingles can also improve the look of a home as they offer aesthetically appealing options that give a sophisticated and unique wood shingle look to your roof.
Taking price into consideration, shingle roofs are durable, especially since their flat design, when installed properly, can resist wind uplift that can occur during tropical storms and hurricanes. Architectural dimensional layered asphalt shingles offer the greatest resistance to the elements, especially wind. Thicker 3-tab shingles offer more protection than the traditional type.
Shingle Roof Price
Average Cost of a Shingle Roof in Palm Beach County
The average cost of a shingle roof replacement in the Palm Beach County area is $5 to $10 per square foot. The cost of removing the previous roof along with installation will need to be factored in as well. With their added benefits, architectural shingles are more expensive than 3-tab shingles but offer a higher long-term return on investment. Warranty plans are essential for shingle roofs as they help maximize the life and durability of your roofing system. Asphalt shingles have an average warranty of 15 to 30 years.
