Three-Tab Shingle Roofs – No More
Exchanging Three-Tab Shingles for Superior Products in Colorado Springs
Three-tab asphalt shingles are one of the most common residential roofing systems in Colorado Springs – common doesn’t always mean good, though. Through the late 1980s three-tab asphalt shingles were the most prevalent asphalt shingle roofing system on the market as an affordable and economical option for homeowners. While three-tab shingles were an excellent choice in their prime, they can no longer compete with the superior asphalt shingle options available, today.

That’s why we can’t, in good conscience, repair or install three-tab asphalt shingle roofs. We believe this is an inferior product and our community deserves better.
If you have a three-tab asphalt shingle roof that’s in need of repair or replacement, give Integrity Roofing and Painting a call, today, to discuss how we can help you upgrade to a superior product and get the most out of your roof. We provide a comprehensive range of asphalt shingle roofing services, including luxury and architectural shingles from some of the best names in the industry.
Disadvantages of Three-Tab Shingle Roofs
Shorter Lifespan
While many manufacturers advertise three-tab shingles as having a 20 year lifespan the truth of the matter is quite different. With exposure to harsh weather and the elements most three-tab shingles will only last 10-15 years.
Durability
Three-tab shingles just can’t stand up to the greater durability of architectural and luxury shingles. They’re thinner and lighter which makes them very susceptible to wind and impact damage. This also means that even with the best care and maintenance your roof will likely be in need of regular repairs that wouldn’t be needed with other asphalt shingle types.
Curb Appeal
There’s no arguing denying it: three-tab shingles are boring to look at. They’re specifically made to lay flat and have a completely uniform appearance. Architectural shingles are created to have more dimension and give your roof a higher level of curb appeal while luxury shingles are made to mimic the look of higher-end roofing materials like cedar and slate.
Home Value
Because they lack in quality, three-tab shingles will not add any value to your home, even if your roof is brand new. Higher quality shingles will add value to your home and give you a better return on investment than three-tab shingles.

Integrity Roofing was easily accessed, provided a prompt appointment and within a week, my roofing project (removed downdraft evaporator, closed opening and replaced shingles). The work crew was very professional and throughly cleaned up … More all trash and removed from my property.
I was completely satisfied and recommend Integrity Roofing for roof repairs. -
I had an excellent experience with Integrity Roofing and Painting, particularly working with Jordan. From start to finish, Jordan was incredibly professional and efficient, helping navigate the insurance process to get my roof and gutters … More replaced. He was patient, always taking the time to answer my questions and explain the process clearly. Even after the insurance project was completed, I reached out to have gutter guards installed, and they were more than happy to assist. The entire team worked quickly, professionally, and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend Integrity Roofing and Painting for anyone in need of roofing or gutter services, specifically Jordan!
