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.
Integrity Roofing and Painting has installed asphalt shingle roofs all over Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas for years, so we know the ins and outs of the materials and are constantly staying up to date with new roofing developments. 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.

I was helping my dad sell his home and the roof needed to be done ASAP for the buyers. Integrity was AMAZING! Ben was the best contact I could have asked for. He was understanding of the situation and always returned my messages quickly. … More He met with the claims adjuster, without us, and got the situation sorted out. Ben was even able to get our project moved up to help with the home selling situation.
Jerryl and Nathaniel kept me apprised of the timeline and when work would begin.
I could not be more grateful for their help and will use their services again when needed.
