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.

Our house was hit by hail in June of 2023. My in-laws had used Integrity Roofing and had a great experience so they recommended we do the same. We are so thankful we did. Troy Richert was wonderful to work with. He helped answer all … More of my questions and was always willing to go find out more information if I needed it. When our insurance was being difficult, Integrity Roofing made sure we had any information we needed and were great about following up with us as we waited on adjusters. Their repair and installation teams were thorough, courteous and prompt. Integrity Roofing was helpful and completed the work to our satisfaction. Thank you!

I have used Integrity Roofing three times this past year. I had a leaky skylight they fixed and then a few months later we had terrific hail damage and they replaced the roof on our home as well as a rental property we were looking to … More sell. The pricing always seemed fair. They worked with our insurance company and actually joined the insurance inspector on the roofs to jointly inspect the damage and come to a consensus. They got the work done quickly and handled all the paperwork as well. We had gutter damage and they handled that as well as painted our entire home. Carter and Andi were my main contacts and they were always easy to work with keep me informed of all the steps along the way. I would recommend them and this company to anyone.
