3 Types of Asphalt Roofing Shingles
There are three major types of asphalt roofing shingle products available today – strip shingles, dimensional shingles, and luxury shingles. Each option offers its benefits and drawbacks, so it’s essential to understand what sets them apart.
Whether you want the finest quality shingle available or looking for a budget-friendly option, there is a category of asphalt shingles that will fit your roofing needs. Understanding the differences between these categories is the first step to keeping your home protected and looking great for years to come.
Strip Asphalt Shingles
When it comes to roofing shingles, strip shingles may be the OG. Also called 3-tab shingles, they’re the original and most basic asphalt shingles. But don’t let their plain appearance fool you. These shingles are tried and true. Made from a single layer of asphalt, strip shingles are lighter and come with a lower cost than others. And while designer shingles have gained popularity over the years, many homeowners and home builders still turn to strip shingles to get the job done.
Dimensional Asphalt Shingles
Have you ever heard of dimensional shingles? They’re also known as architectural or laminate shingles, the most popular type of asphalt roofing shingles. These shingles are made with two or more layers of asphalt that are fused, giving them a thicker and richer appearance that replicates the look of wood shake or natural slate roofing. They’re heavier than strip shingles and come with improved warranty protection.
Luxury Asphalt Shingles
Exactly what you would think of when you think of “luxury.” The highest-quality asphalt type shingle out there, luxury shingles are the way to go. These shingles aren’t just heavy-duty – they’re also stunning to look at. With their attention to color and dimension, you’ll swear they’re made of natural wood and slate.

The Benefits of Asphalt Shingles
Modern manufacturing techniques and the physical properties of asphalt have led to the production of numerous specialty asphalt roofing shingles. These shingles are created to fight algae growth, resist hail damage, and offer cool roof color technologies that reduce air conditioning expenses. Some specialty shingles can even help reduce insurance costs, like impact-resistant shingles installed in hail zones. Asphalt shingles are naturally fire-resistant, making them a smart choice for your home.

Storm Damage
Storm damage hit us. Elevated arrived next morning & guided us through everything with great communication. His crew finished our house, garage, & small building in 1 day!
I have worked with a lot of contractors over the years both personally and professionally. In my current role, I provide internal training related to the client experience. So, I'm pretty tuned in to when I am getting good service or not.Elevated Roofing is a rare contractor providing exceptional service. I feel like they had been through my training and implemented all of it!When looking for a roofing contractor, I asked another contractor that had recently done work for me, if they had any recommendations and they provided me with someone they would highly recimmend, but warned me that they might be booked up a year out. I searched the Internet and found five contractors I felt comfortable reaching out to, which included the recommended contractor. Only 2 even responded to my inquiry, with Matt and Elevated Roofing being the first, and was almost an immediate responseMatt met with me later that week and was very personable and provided me with options and explained their process very well. I received estimates form both contractors. Matt provided all of their licensing and insurance information along with other pertinent information. The other contractor basically gave me their price and that was it. The two were within 1% of each other on price, so I knew the prices were good. The fact that Elevated Roofing was less was merely a slight bonus, as I would have went with them had the prices been reversed just based on the experience.From there the communication was excellent, Erika was great getting me scheduled and handling payments.J.T. was the PM on my job and ciuldn't have been better. He visited prior to the scheduled date to check out the existing conditions himself and met with me to set the expectations and answer additional questions. The day of work, he was sending me photos at every stage of the job and giving me updates.The crew was great. They were very respectful and did a great job of keeping the site cleaned up throughout the process.Hiring a contractor can be stressful, but Elevated Roofing made the whole process comfortable and gave me the confidence that all would go well. I would highly recommend them.
Prompt and professional service. Friendly and easy to work with.
Great service & quality work. I also appreciated the frequent updates on the status of my project. Well don Elevated Roofing!
