Choose Designer Shingles to Improve a Home’s Value

Designer shingles is a term commonly used to describe dimensional asphalt shingle roofing materials that mimic the look of more expensive options such as tile and slate.

Adding designer shingles to a home can significantly improve the curb appeal and value of the property without breaking the home improvement budget.

Designer shingles is a term commonly used to describe dimensional asphalt shingle roofing materials that mimic the look of more expensive options such as tile and slate. Even though these materials cost far less than the traditional materials they resemble, they are significantly more durable and long-lasting than traditional asphalt roofing.

A look into designer shingles

Those familiar with the upscale appearance and superior protection that slate, clay, concrete, or terracotta roof tiles offer are probably aware of how much these products cost.

Designer alternatives are fabricated in the same way that traditional asphalt shingles are. Still, they offer significantly improved appearance and performance – at a fraction of the price of slate and tile roofing products.

These roofing products are available in various styles and colors, designed to enhance a home’s appearance and curb appeal. However, some might be hard-pressed to tell the difference between fabricated designer shingles and the real thing they mimic.

Durability of designer shingles

Designer shingles not only look more impressive than their more basic predecessors but are also heavier, more durable, and significantly longer-lasting than traditional asphalt roofing materials.

Most designer roofing options include a lifetime warranty. These products are also rated for high winds (up to 130 miles per hour) and coated with a particular product that resists staining and mold growth.

Designer shingle costs

Depending on the manufacturer, these roofing materials are described as premium, high-definition, or architectural shingles. But, no matter what they’re called, they are only slightly more expensive than traditional, three-tab asphalt roofing.

Many homeowners will enjoy an increase in their home’s value after installing designer asphalt roofing and, because they provide superior protection and insulation, may see a decrease in their power bills.

For the upscale look, value, and energy benefits of slate or clay roofing tile without the high cost, consider using designer architectural asphalt roofing options.
