ASPHALT SHINGLE OPTIONS
Choosing Asphalt Shingles for Your Houston Home
Your shingle choice affects your roof’s appearance, replacement cost, available weather-resistance ratings, and warranty coverage. Comparing those details helps you choose a roofing system that fits your home and priorities.
Longhorn Windows & Roofing provides complete residential asphalt shingle roof replacement throughout Greater Houston. During your consultation, we’ll explain the standard system and available upgrades, review styles and colors, and discuss the products included in your estimate.
Start by considering what matters most to you: the finished appearance, your project budget, or available wind and impact-resistance features. Then compare the specific products, installation requirements, and written warranty terms behind each option.
Installed Cost
Compare complete project estimates alongside the shingle options. Roof size, pitch, access, material selection, and decking conditions can all affect your replacement cost.
Warranty Coverage
Compare manufacturer coverage and workmanship coverage separately. Review the written terms, exclusions, and installation requirements that apply to your selected roofing system.
Complete Roofing System
Look beyond the visible shingles. Your estimate should explain the underlayment, valley protection, roof-edge details, and any decking replacement included in the proposed work.
Impact Resistance
Compare the available impact-resistant shingle options and their documented ratings. Ask how each product differs from the standard system and other available upgrades.
Wind Performance
Review the manufacturer’s wind rating and warranty coverage for each option. Ask which installation requirements and roofing components apply to the system in your estimate.
Style & Color
Compare shingle colors and profiles against your brick, siding, trim, and surroundings. Review available samples to find an appearance that complements your home.

Why Houston Homeowners Choose Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles give Houston homeowners flexibility in appearance, project cost, and available performance features. The right choice depends on your home’s roofing requirements, the look you want, and the specific products included in your replacement estimate.
Reasons to consider asphalt shingles include:
A coordinated appearance. Available colors and profiles let you complement your home’s brick, siding, trim, and architectural style.
Options for different budgets. Compare the standard roofing system with available upgrades to understand what each option adds to your complete project cost.
Product-specific performance choices. Available wind and impact ratings provide useful comparison points. Review each product’s documented ratings, installation requirements, and warranty terms.
A complete replacement approach. Replacing the shingles also provides an opportunity to inspect exposed decking and address the supporting components included in your approved scope.
Longhorn will inspect your existing roof, explain the available asphalt shingle options, and provide an estimate for the replacement work recommended for your home.
An asphalt shingle roof is a layered system. The visible shingles work with the decking, protective materials beneath them, and roof-edge details. Your replacement estimate should explain which components are included.
Roof decking provides the base to which the roofing system is attached. Once the existing roofing is removed, Longhorn checks the exposed decking. Damaged areas can be replaced with OSB panels according to the approved project scope.
Synthetic underlayment forms a protective layer beneath the shingles. Valley protection adds protection where adjoining roof slopes channel water. Drip edge and other applicable finishing components should also be identified in the proposed work.
Asphalt shingles form the roof’s outer weather-facing surface. Their appearance, documented performance ratings, installation requirements, and written warranty terms should be considered alongside the supporting components.
Compare Asphalt Shingle Options for Your Home
Start with the standard roofing system, then compare available upgrades against your priorities. Appearance, installed cost, wind performance, and impact resistance can all influence your choice.
Standard Asphalt Shingle System
Review the shingles and supporting components included in your initial estimate. Compare the available colors, finished appearance, and warranty coverage to establish a starting point for your decision.
Wind-Performance Upgrades
If wind performance is a priority, ask Longhorn to explain the available upgrade options. Compare the manufacturer’s wind rating, applicable installation requirements, and wind warranty coverage for each proposed product.
Impact-Resistant Shingle Options
Impact-resistant asphalt shingles are available as an upgrade. Ask which impact classification applies to the proposed shingle and how its features, appearance, and installed cost compare with the other options.
Your Longhorn representative will help you compare the specific products available for your project and explain what each option adds to your replacement estimate.
