How do I decide what shingle to choose?
The choice of shingle is a personal one unless there are restrictive covenants in your area that make the choice for you. Often, storm damage leads to the homeowner asking this question. They don't just wake up and decide to change their roof. Usually, a big hail storm will have struck the Dallas Fort Worth area and now they are deciding what to choose, or perhaps a big storm has revealed leakage. The main concerns I see are:
- Cost: for many people, this is of overriding importance to them. A three tab shingle will of course be the least expensive way to go, but will not have the curb appeal of a higher grade product.
- Value: this is where other factors enter the equation. For most people, a shingle like the GAF Timberline will represent the best value with excellent long term wearability and good looks.
- Color: "I saw a house that really had a great looking color on the roof; can you match it?" When I hear this, it usually means a homeowner saw a designer color roof that caught their eye.
- Resale value: "I really do not want to spend much as I'm planning to sell soon." Look around at your neighbors' homes. If they have three tab roofs, it certainly will not make sense to put up a designer shingle in the neighborhood, and vice versa.
- Insurance settlement: The insurance company will only pay to restore your home to what it was. They will not pay for shingle upgrades.

We deal with water, storm, and hail damage to roofs and work directly with insurance companies to resolve your problems. Thank you for visiting; stick around and read awhile.
WeatherPRO Roofing is fully licensed and insured in the great state of Texas. We are fully licensed and insured with: $2,000,000 Aggregate, $1,000,000 General Liability Policy and subcontractor coverage. Recently, after a storm, my boy and I checked the local roofers that had put signs up and nearly half were not licensed. I'd say it is safe to say that even fewer were insured. Licensing is the easy and inexpensive part of setting up a business. Ask to see proof of insurance and a license number when considering a contractor!.

There are always people out there who are trying to save every penny possible. They can remove so many pennies that the thing they are building is now incapable of doing the job it was intended to do. You see it with cheap toys that break easily or products that don't perform, though their name sounds similar to a good product. It is easy to remove too many pennies from a roof and end up with a roof that can no longer do the job it was intended to do.At WeatherPRO our slogan, "Above All...Quality" is more than a slogan, it is the reason our roof systems perform well in adverse weather conditions, because every day is not a sunny day.
Every once in a while, most everything needs repairs or maintenance, whether it be your automobile, electronics, or your home. Roofs take more abuse than most other areas because of their exposure to the elements and the materials used in the roofing process. Three tab roofs will wear out much more quickly than their heavier laminate counter parts. That is because three tab roofs are generally rated for 60 mph winds, while the laminates are rated for 110 mph. In any case, if your roof is leaking or shingles are bent back or missing, it is time for repairs. WeatherPRO Roofing will get your roof repaired and give recommendations to you if needed.
Three tab roof systems are the least expensive shingles used for roofing. Not many years ago, they were commonly referred to as 20 year roofs with a true life of around 10 years before many had issues. Today, three tab roofs such as the Atlas Glassmaster shingles we commonly use have a much longer 30 year warranty. The good news is that if insurance is paying for a 20 year shingle only, we can upgrade you to a 30 year at no extra cost. With proper underlayment and through roof flashing, you can end up with a much more durable roof than you had before.
The main advantages to laminated shingles are great looks, durability, and wind rating. The thickness of the shingle gives it distinct shadow lines that accent the depth of reveal. A wind rating of 110 mph or greater gives you peace of mind when heavy winds blow through the area. The added thickness of the shingle allows it to withstand damaging hail storms much better than lighter weight shingles. A very nice range of color options enable homeowners to get the exact look they desire for their homes.Continue Reading »
Beyond performance, today's designer shingles represent the apex of what can be done with asphalt and fiberglass. Some designer shingles incorporate real slate, others rely upon layering to achieve their beautiful designs. High end roof products have the ability to take a home into an entirely different class than other homes. There are shingles that resemble slate or wood shakes, suitable for manors or mansions. These shingles are often chosen and specified by architects to create a certain "feel" or look for a custom home.
When you are replacing a roof, it is a great time to upgrade your roof ventilation. In many older homes, ventilation was an afterthought and the roof designs lacked the ventilation that modern roof designs have. Codes have changed and so have the thoughts on what adequate roof ventilation really is. Greater roof ventilation means your home is cooler and less expensive to maintain comfort in the summer and prolongs the life of your roof shingles. WeatherPRO roofing installs a variety of roof ventilation systems including ridge and eave vents, turbines, power vents and more.Please feel free to call us if you have questions and we will try to assist you or point you in the right direction. We work with insurance companies on your behalf to maximize your chances at a good settlement. We then work with the highest quality products and installation to see that your new roof is at least as good as what went before. We want you to have a trouble-free quality experience that makes you happy. Above All...Quality!
