Is Premium Roofing Really Premium?

Posted on March 21, 2019

When it comes time to replace your roof, you will hear much talk about premium roofing options. These roof solutions can vary but typically refer to high-end shingle options. But, are these “premium” shingles really better than standard asphalt shingles? Below, we take a look at what exactly makes a premium shingle “premium”.

Installation

From the very beginning, most premium shingles options do, in fact, offer more benefits. Architectural shingles offer a single-placement installation for ease of repair later on. Impact resistant and wind resistant shingles offer a larger shingle surface for extra protection against breakage and tearing.

Resistance

Premium shingles can offer reinforced resistance to multiple hazards like wind, impact, and UV rays. However, if you’re looking for extra water or animal resistance, other options may be a better choice. However, premium shingles are more resistant than standard shingle options and can last up to 10 years longer in many cases.

Repair

Premium shingles are simple to repair because of their design. Some options are available in sheets like standard shingles, creating ideal conditions to replace large areas. Architectural shingles are available in single construction options to allow for individual replacement. With premium shingles, you can expect less repair and maintenance efforts than with standard choices, saving you cost and time.

Premium shingles definitely have their advantages and are usually worth the added expense. However, proper installation is imperative and should be completed by experienced professionals like the TAG ROOFING & EXTERIORS roofers.

David Chavez, Austin

This is one of the best contractors I have hire in my life. These guys have this 5 star rating because they’re so good at what they do. The sales process was simple and not pushy. The coordination of the work, great communication and setting of expectations. The work was done before they promised to be done. Just outstanding, simple and respectful!

Chip Burbaugh, Georgetown

Absolutely one of the best and responsive roofing companies I have ever dealt with. Every step of the way someone was there on site and through text for every question I had.
Very professional and very clean the entire install. I definitely would recommend TAG Roofing to anyone needing a new roof or repairs.

Friendly and professional, TAG roofing provided inspection of my roof after two recent hailstorms. The fact that they didn’t insist on my roof needing repair and showing me visually why ensures that I will absolutely be using them when the time comes.
