Architectural Shingle Roofing in Plano, TX

Architectural, or dimensional, shingles are among the highest-quality roofing materials available, offering a range of color schemes and styles to fit any taste or budget. Dimensional roofing shingles outperform and outlast traditional ones, and even come in shake and slate styles. These shingles are designed to endure weathering and abuse better than flat ones, right down to the type of aggregate and asphalt used in the outer layer.

Benefits of Architectural Shingles

These laminated composite shingles are constructed on a fiberglass mat, much like traditional ones, but have a raised surface that produces a three-dimensional appearance, hence their name. The pattern lends a stunning effect to any structure, commercial or residential, and also helps the shingles resist impact and weathering much better, and for longer periods of time. The carefully engineered asphalt is studded with coated mineral pieces that help break up and disperse the effects of rain and hail, furthering the longevity of the roof and the structure it covers.

Additionally, there are varieties of architectural shingles that can:

  • Resist mold and algae growth
  • Insulate your property
  • Deflect light

These types of shingles are installed the same way as traditional ones, allowing those familiar with roofing to replace old roofs with ease in addition to permitting our Plano roofers to install them using current methods and tools. Another advantage to these types of shingles is that shake and slate styles do not require specific weight considerations like with natural materials, reducing costs and installation times.


Architectural style roofing shingles are so well designed that most brands, even the economy styles, come with a limited lifetime guarantee. Replacing flat shingles with a dimensional style not only improves the look and longevity of a given structure but also greatly reduces the likelihood of future replacements while adding value to the structure at the same time.
