If you want a more attractive roof than basic three-tab asphalt shingles can provide, look into luxury shingles. These are asphalt shingles too, but they are made to a higher quality. They cost more than traditional shingles, but they give your home an upscale appearance, so the cost is worth it. Here are benefits of luxury asphalt shingle roofing.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

Luxury shingles have a different look from three-tab shingles. The look gives your home a little glamour that enhances the curb appeal of your property. The shingles come in different colors and shapes. Some luxury shingles look like slate tiles, while others look like clay tiles or cedar shake roofing.

You could also choose designer shingles made of different shapes so you can create the pattern you like on your roof. The enhanced curb appeal adds to the beauty and value of your property. Luxury shingles could even be a selling point if you put your home on the market due to their long life and attractive appearance.

More Durable Construction

Luxury shingles are made by several manufacturers, and each has their own unique shingles. However, they are all more durable than traditional shingle roofing. Luxury shingles are thicker and bigger, so that alone helps them be more durable. They can also have other materials added that make them flexible to avoid hail damage, resist algae growth, and wind resistant to stay secure during high winds.

The enhanced durability allows companies to provide longer warranty periods. The warranty periods vary according to manufacturer and installation company, but they usually last for decades. To get the longest warranty, you may need to have luxury shingles installed by a roofer certified by the shingle manufacturer.

More Affordable Than Other Luxury Roofing

Luxury shingles cost quite a bit more than three-tab shingles, but when compared to other types of luxury roofing, such as slate or clay tile, luxury shingles have a lower price point. This gives your home the appearance of having more expensive roofing at a more affordable cost. Plus, in the case of shingles that look like cedar, you can have a roof that looks like cedar shingles without the bother of all the upkeep of a wood roof.

Even though luxury shingles cost more than three-tab shingles, it's important to consider the long-term costs too. Luxury shingles are more durable, so they'll probably need fewer repairs. Plus, they might last decades longer than three-tab shingles. That could make luxury shingles a more affordable option when the price is compared to the lifespan of the roofing.
