There is a downside to asphalt shingles, but only if your roof is installed incorrectly. Because 3 tab shingles lay flat on your roof, they will display any installation mistakes very clearly. An experienced roofing contractor will be able to utilize the proper technique for the asphalt shingles you choose—either vertical racking or stair-stepping—so that your roof lays flat and protects your home from water and wind.

Roofs are measured in ”roofing squares,” which are equivalent to 10 ft. by 10 ft., and asphalt shingles are sold in bundles, which typically run about $25-30. Bundles typically cover about a third of a roofing square. The overall size of your roof—dictated by the number of roofing squares—will impact asphalt shingles cost for your roof.Another factor affecting the overall roofing asphalt shingles cost is the pitch, or slope, of your roof. The steeper your roof, the more expensive the installation cost, as your roofer will have to pay more in insurance for the project.

While durability and effectiveness should be your priority when selecting asphalt shingles, design and aesthetic are also important. Whether you want blue, green or black shingles, there are affordable options for your color scheme. Tell your roofing contractor your design expectations for your asphalt shingle roof.

Asphalt shingles typically come with manufacturer warranties that range from 15 to 30 years. Of course, 3 tab shingles with 15-year warranties usually cost less than those with 25- or 30-year warranties. While shelling out the extra money for longer-lasting shingles might be difficult, it can double the life of your roof.  To ensure the longevity of your roofing system, you’ll want to look for a contractor that provides only premium shingles—CertainTeed and GAF are some of the best manufacturers available. While subpar products allow some contractors to provide lower quote, they will not provide the same level of protection nor will they last as long.

When you’re deciding between different types of asphalt shingles, it’s also important to see what international standards they meet. There are two internationally recognized standards organizations—Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)—which provide standards and benchmarks for 3 tab shingles. A reputable roofing contractor will be able to point you toward the right asphalt shingle for your price range and needs.

What Our Customers Say

Great company and team of guys! Responded fast after the last storm to fix the leak!

lunker Jacob

Wildwood was called in on an insurance claim as a secondary evaluator. Thomas did a thorough and professional inspection of the damage, submitted a timely report, and did so in a very kind and courteous manner. Very refreshing and much appreciated!

Cheryl Havlin

Mike B was a great communicator and explained the process clearly. Mike was very professional and advocates for his customers with adjusters on behalf of his clients. The whole process of the roof installation was seamless and every detail was tended to. Very happy!

Beth Shackelford

Caleb Hahn did an exceptional job of getting my roof replaced. He worked with my insurance company and was able to make the whole process go very smoothly! Caleb was very professional and did things in a timely manner and communicated with me through the whole process. He always answered my texts or phone calls and was kind and patient!!

Avery O’Connor

I had a new roof put on by Wildwood and they were great throughout the entire process sans a minor hiccup with processing payments online (that said, they at least have a means to accept it, which is more than I can say for some other contractors). Luke was our project manager, and he was very present throughout the entire process. He showed up for the insurance adjuster inspection, drove out on short notice to climb onto the roof and spray sealant on a leak as a stopgap, and was here during the entire installation.I live in south city in one of those cookie-cutter, gingerbread sorta houses, and it took the crew less than 6 hours to completely strip and install a new roof on my house. It was kind of incredible honestly. The crew cleaned up well after themselves, and the best part was my installation date was moved up ~5 weeks from the initial estimate due to some found time on the schedule.I’ll be recommending these guys moving forward, though a note: you should really get your online payment system fixed and to the point where you’re not charging a surcharge for card payments. It’s 2023, it’s time. Everything else was perfect though, and that’s not enough to dock a star off the rating since it was at least an option to begin with.

Sam Schirmer

Working with the professionals at Wildwood Roofing could not have been easier. From the very first visit to the final clean-up I’d give Wildwood Roofing a 10 and recommended them to everyone!
