New Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Asphalt Shingle Roofing Services by Tactical Roofing Company

Built to Last, Designed to Impress

Asphalt roofing shingles continue to be the most popular choice for homeowners across the United States, and it’s easy to see why. Known for reliability, affordability, and design flexibility, asphalt roofing shingles offer a balance of performance and aesthetics that make them an excellent roofing solution for homes throughout the Tampa Bay area. Asphalt shingles are a popular choice due to their durability, energy efficiency, and positive impact on property value.

At Tactical Roofing Company, we combine industry best practices with high-quality materials to install and maintain asphalt shingle roofs that efficiently cover and protect the roof from weather and environmental elements, ensuring both beauty and longevity. Whether you’re replacing an aging roof, upgrading to improve curb appeal, or building new, our roofing team delivers exceptional service and long-lasting results. The purchase of a new asphalt shingle roof includes warranty protection and long-term value for homeowners.

Why Choose Asphalt Shingles?

Asphalt shingles offer several key advantages:

Affordability – Asphalt shingles are one of the most cost-effective roofing materials available, offering a lower cost compared to many other roofing materials.

Ease of Installation – Quicker installation compared to tile or metal roofs, minimizing disruption to your household.

Style Variety – Available in a wide range of colors, textures, and profiles to match your home’s architecture.

Durability – Most asphalt shingles are rated to last 20-30 years or more.

Fire Rating – Many asphalt shingles have a high fire rating, such as Class A, providing added safety for your home.

Impact Rating: The standard roofing shingles used in Florida are Class III impact-rated. Meaning a mid-level roofing option that withstands a 1.75-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet, offering moderate protection against hail and debris at a lower cost

Low Maintenance – Resistant to mold, algae, and pests when properly installed. Many asphalt shingles also feature algae resistance to prevent discoloration and maintain appearance.

Sustainability – Old shingles are recyclable through waste-to-energy programs locally.

Quick Availability – Unlike some specialty materials, asphalt shingles are readily available with little to no lead time.

Features of Asphalt Roofing

Asphalt roofing shingles stand out as the leading choice for residential roofing across North America, thanks to their impressive combination of durability, affordability, and versatility. Homeowners appreciate asphalt shingles for their ability to withstand the toughest weather conditions, including high winds, hail damage, and severe storms. Many asphalt shingle roofs are engineered for exceptional wind resistance and impact resistance, providing peace of mind and long-lasting protection for your home.

Energy efficiency is another key advantage of asphalt roofing shingles. Certain styles are designed to reflect sunlight and minimize heat absorption, helping to keep your home cooler and reducing energy costs during Florida’s hottest months. This makes asphalt shingle roofs an energy efficient option that can contribute to lower utility bills and a more comfortable living environment.

When it comes to style, asphalt shingles offer unmatched versatility. Architectural shingles, for example, deliver a high performance roofing solution with a dimensional look that mimics the beauty of wood shake shingles or slate roofing, without the higher cost or maintenance of those materials. For homeowners seeking a truly distinctive appearance and premium protection, luxury shingles provide enhanced durability, unique patterns, and superior weather resistance.

Asphalt roofing shingles are also designed to resist algae growth, which can cause unsightly black streaks on your roof surface. Many leading manufacturers now offer algae-resistant shingles, helping your roof maintain its beautiful appearance year after year. Plus, when it’s time for a roof replacement, old asphalt shingles can often be recycled, making them a more sustainable choice compared to other roofing materials.

Proper installation and regular maintenance are essential to maximizing the lifespan and performance of your asphalt shingle roof. Partnering with experienced roofing contractors ensures your new roof is installed to manufacturer specifications, protecting your investment and preserving your warranty coverage. Routine care, such as keeping gutters clear and removing debris, will help your asphalt roofing system continue to perform at its best.

With their proven durability, energy efficiency, and wide range of design options, asphalt shingles remain a top choice for homeowners looking to protect and enhance their property. Whether you’re planning a new roofing project or replacing an existing roof, asphalt roofing shingles offer the perfect blend of performance, beauty, and value.

Fiberglass Asphalt Shingles

Most common type in Florida

Made from a glass fiber mat base

Coated with asphalt and topped with mineral granules

Lightweight and durable

High tear strength, with fiberglass asphalt shingles often meeting or exceeding tear value standards, which enhances their resistance to physical damage and overall longevity

Excellent fire resistance

Ideal for Florida’s climate and building code requirements

Organic Asphalt Shingles (Not used in Florida)

Made from a paper (wood) base

Heavier and less fire resistant

Prone to moisture absorption and shorter lifespan. As these shingles absorb moisture and deteriorate, water can seep through the roof and eventually reach the ground, potentially causing structural issues.

Generally phased out in modern roofing, especially in high-wind zones

Styles of Asphalt Shingles

When selecting asphalt shingles, homeowners can choose from a variety of roof shingles to match their preferences and needs. There are several styles to choose from:

Three-Tab Shingles

Flat profile with three cutouts (tabs)

Was once the standard for decades

Lightweight and economical, more affordable than many other materials, making them a budget-friendly option

Shorter lifespan (15–20 years)

Becoming obsolete, most manufacturers have shifted away from this style

Architectural Shingles (Also called Dimensional or Laminate Shingles)

Thicker and more durable than three-tab

Varied shapes and colors create a dimensional, layered appearance

Enhanced curb appeal

Lifespan of 25–40 years with proper installation

Now the most common shingle type for new installs

Designer Shingles (Luxury Shingles)

High-end appearance mimicking slate or cedar shake

Comes in unique patterns, colors, and impact ratings

Longer warranties and enhanced durability

Ideal for upscale homes or those prioritizing unique aesthetics
