Which Asphalt Shingle Is Right for Your Home?
Not all asphalt shingles are the same. Harrison’s Roofing can help you understand the differences and choose an option based on your home, desired appearance, expected performance, and budget.
3-Tab Asphalt Shingles
Three-tab shingles have a flatter, more uniform appearance and historically have been one of the most affordable asphalt roofing options.
They may make sense for certain applications, although many homeowners today prefer dimensional or architectural shingles because of their enhanced appearance and performance.
Best for:
Budget-conscious roofing applications and certain rental or investment properties.
Architectural / Dimensional Shingles
MOST POPULAR

Copy:
Architectural shingles are manufactured with multiple layers that create greater thickness, depth, and dimension.
They provide a more premium appearance than traditional three-tab shingles while remaining considerably more affordable than many specialty roofing materials.
Best for:
Most residential homes.
Premium / Designer Shingles
Premium asphalt shingles are designed to mimic the appearance of materials such as slate or wood shake while providing the convenience of an asphalt roofing system.
They can create a dramatic architectural statement and significantly improve curb appeal.
Best for:
Homeowners seeking an upscale appearance.
A Quality Roof Is More Than Shingles
The shingles are only the visible portion of your roofing system. Proper installation of the materials beneath and around them is just as important.
A professionally installed roofing system helps manage:
Water intrusion • Wind • Moisture • Ventilation • Heat • Structural protection
Harrison’s Roofing looks at the entire roofing system—not simply the shingles you can see.
Find the Right Look for Your Home
Your roof can represent a significant portion of your home’s visible exterior, which makes color selection important.
Black / Charcoal
Gray
Slate
Tan
Brown
Red
Multi
Designer Tip
Darker shingles can create dramatic contrast against lighter siding or brick, while blended gray and brown shingles often complement stone, brick, and earth-tone exteriors beautifully.
How Long Does an Asphalt Shingle Roof Last?
The lifespan of an asphalt roof depends on several factors, including the type of shingle, installation quality, ventilation, weather exposure, maintenance, and the overall roofing system.
A properly installed architectural asphalt roofing system can provide many years of dependable service.
3-Tab Shingles
Generally shorter expected service life.
Architectural Shingles
Typically longer-lasting and more durable than traditional three-tab shingles.
Premium Shingles
Often designed for enhanced durability and longer manufacturer warranty coverage.
Manufacturer warranties and actual roof lifespan vary by product and installation conditions. Harrison’s Roofing can explain the specific warranty and performance expectations of the products recommended for your home.
Roofing Built for Kentucky Weather
Central Kentucky roofs experience a wide range of conditions throughout the year—from summer heat and strong sunlight to heavy rain, thunderstorms, wind, freezing temperatures, and occasional hail.
Your roofing system must be installed with these conditions in mind.
Wind
Proper fastening and installation help shingles resist uplift during strong winds.
Rain
Underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and shingles work together to direct water away from vulnerable areas.
Heat
Proper attic ventilation helps manage heat and moisture within the roofing system.
Freeze / Thaw
Seasonal temperature changes can place stress on roofing materials and flashing.
Hail Storm
Severe weather can damage shingles even when damage is not immediately visible from the ground.

Great Shingles Still Require Great Installation
Even premium roofing materials can fail prematurely when installation details are overlooked.
Correct shingle placement, fastening, flashing, ventilation, underlayment, roof penetrations, valleys, edges, and transitions all contribute to long-term roof performance.
At Harrison’s Roofing, we focus on the details homeowners may never see—but that can make an enormous difference over the life of the roof.
Proper Ventilation Matters
Ventilation Is Part of Every Roof Evaluation
A quality roofing system does more than keep rain out—it also needs proper airflow. Proper attic and roof ventilation helps manage excess heat and moisture, which can contribute to premature shingle deterioration, condensation, moisture buildup, wood deterioration, and excessive attic temperatures.
At Harrison’s Roofing, ventilation isn’t an afterthought—it’s part of every roof evaluation.
When we evaluate your roof, we look beyond the shingles and consider how the entire roofing system is working together. We assess the existing ventilation and look for concerns that could affect the performance and longevity of your roof. If improvements are needed, we’ll explain what we found and recommend the appropriate solution as part of your roofing project.
Because a quality roof isn’t just about what you can see from the outside. It’s about making sure the entire roofing system works together to protect your home.
How much does an asphalt shingle roof cost?
The cost depends on roof size, pitch, accessibility, roofing materials, decking condition, ventilation requirements, flashing, tear-off requirements, and other project-specific factors. Harrison’s Roofing can provide an estimate after evaluating your roof.
How long does it take to replace a shingle roof?
Many residential roofing projects can be completed relatively quickly, but project length varies based on roof size, complexity, weather, structural repairs, and material requirements.
Can new shingles be installed over old shingles?
In some circumstances local building requirements and roof conditions may permit an additional layer, but removing existing roofing often provides the opportunity to inspect the roof decking and properly install a complete roofing system.
Do asphalt shingles have warranties?
Many roofing manufacturers offer warranties that vary by product. Workmanship coverage and manufacturer material coverage should always be reviewed separately.
How do I know whether I need repair or replacement?
The best answer comes from evaluating the age, damage, leak history, shingle condition, roof decking, flashing, and overall roofing system.
What color shingles should I choose?
Consider your brick, siding, trim, shutters, stone, and architectural style. Neutral colors such as charcoal, gray, weathered wood, and brown remain popular because they complement many exterior finishes.
Will a new roof improve my home's value?
A well-installed new roof can improve curb appeal and remove concerns associated with an aging or deteriorating roof, which can be valuable when selling a home.
Can damaged shingles be repaired?
Often, yes. Whether repair is appropriate depends on the extent of damage, roof age, shingle availability, and overall condition.
What causes asphalt shingles to fail?
Possible causes include age, storms, poor ventilation, improper installation, water intrusion, wind, flashing failure, and excessive heat or moisture.
Do you replace roof decking?
If damaged or deteriorated decking is discovered during the roofing process, replacement may be required before new roofing materials can be properly installed.
