Asphalt Shingles
America's most popular roofing material — versatile, affordable, and available in dozens of colors. Our Owens Corning Platinum status unlocks exclusive lifetime warranties.
The Most Popular Choice for Good Reason
Asphalt shingles protect more American homes than any other roofing material. They offer the best balance of affordability, durability, and aesthetic options — and when installed by certified professionals, they deliver decades of reliable performance.
Why Owens Corning?
As Platinum Preferred Contractors, we install Owens Corning’s complete roofing system — not just shingles, but the entire integrated system including underlayment, starter strips, hip and ridge caps, and ventilation. This Total Protection Roofing System approach is why our roofs outperform and outlast the competition.
Best Shingles for Desert Climate
Not all asphalt shingles are created equal. We specifically recommend lines engineered for hot, dry climates with excellent UV resistance and heat cycling durability. Our experience with thousands of High Desert installations means we know exactly which products perform best here.
How We Install Asphalt Shingles
Inspection & Estimate
We assess your existing roof deck, ventilation, and structural needs, then provide a detailed written estimate.
Tear-Off & Prep
Old roofing materials are stripped down to the deck. We inspect for damage, replace any compromised decking, and install ice & water shield.
Underlayment & Starter
Synthetic underlayment is rolled out for an extra moisture barrier, followed by starter strips along eaves and rakes.
Shingle Installation
Shingles are nailed according to manufacturer specs using the Owens Corning Total Protection system for maximum wind resistance.

Common Questions About Asphalt Shingles
How long do asphalt shingles last in the High Desert?
Standard 3-tab shingles last 15-20 years, while architectural shingles like Owens Corning Duration can last 30-50 years with proper installation and ventilation.
What's the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
Architectural shingles are thicker, more durable, and have a dimensional look that mimics natural materials. They cost more upfront but last significantly longer.
