Type Of Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles (also called composite shingles) are popular with homeowners in Illinois and Iowa for their durability (lasting anywhere from 15 to 30 years), affordability, and good looks. Which is best for you will depend on the look you’re going for and your budget.
Elevated Roofing installs two of the three types of shingles so you can calculate the cost of each.
Strip Shingles
The original and most basic asphalt shingles, also called 3-tab 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.
Dimensional Shingles
Also known as architectural or laminate shingles, these are the most popular type. Made with two or more fused layers of asphalt, it gives them a thicker and richer appearance that replicates the look of wood shake or natural slate roofing.
Luxury Shingles
The highest-quality asphalt type shingle out there. These luxury 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.
What Can You Expect in Terms of Roofing Cost?
The costs included in our residential roofing calculator include flashing, underlayment, and other materials required to safely and correctly install your new roof. A significant percentage of the cost of any residential roof is the labor to professionally remove your old roof (if applicable), prepare and install your new roof, and seal all areas to prevent water leaks.
Most homeowners don’t have roof measurements handy or know how to measure slopes or understand the complexities of their roof. Rest assured, you don’t have to.
Elevated Roofing measures and inspects your roof to provide a FREE, NO-obligation estimate. Our in-person roof inspections are much more accurate than any roofing calculator on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Illinois 104.019255, Iowa C147349, and Wisconsin DC-022300173.
You don’t want a fly-by-night contractor that, in many cases, leaves your roof in worse condition than it was or just takes the down payment and runs. We are happy to provide proof of insurance, licensing, and references.
- What warranties do you and your manufacturers provide?
Elevated Roofing offers an industry-leading 10-year guarantee on our workmanship. Meaning, if there is ever an issue, we will make it right at no cost to you.
CertainTeed is an industry-leading manufacturer that offers warranties of up to 50 years on roofing materials, which, in some cases, is the lifetime of the roof.
- Does my roof need to be repaired or replaced?
The best way to determine if your roof needs repairs or a full replacement is with a professional inspection. We assess your roof’s condition and provide the most practical solution that fits your budget and long-term needs.
If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it is often the more cost-effective option rather than making repeated repairs.
For storm-damaged roofs, insurance companies typically require repairs if less than 30% of the roof is affected. If the damage exceeds 30%, they will likely recommend a full replacement to ensure long-term protection.
- How long will my roof last?
The life expectancy of CertainTeed asphalt shingle roofs varies based on the type of shingle:
- Strip Shingles (3-Tab) – Typically last 20-25 years, depending on climate and maintenance. These are the most affordable but have the shortest lifespan.
- Architectural Shingles (Dimensional/Laminate) – Expected to last 25-30 years, with some premium lines lasting up to 40 years. These offer better durability and wind resistance.
- Luxury Shingles (Designer/Premium) – Can last 30-50 years, thanks to their heavyweight construction and superior materials. These provide the highest durability, impact resistance, and curb appeal.
The life expectancy of other types of roofs ranges widely:
- Metal roofs last 40-70 years
- Wood (cedar shake shingles) last 20-40 years
- Slate roofs last 75+ years
Proper installation, ventilation, and routine maintenance can help maximize the lifespan of any roof.
- What roofing materials do you use?
New roofing materials are selected for their durability and energy efficiency. We only use roofing products from CertainTeed. You can be assured that you’re getting the best products and residential materials available. They offer the broadest range of color and style choices, which makes it easy to find something that suits your roofing project. More importantly, you can rest assured knowing you receive quality materials with a best-in-class warranty program that promises excellent satisfaction.
- How can I be sure I’m choosing the right contractor?
Here’s how to make the best choice:
- Get multiple quotes – Aim for at least three estimates from reputable contractors. If a quote is significantly lower, they may be cutting corners. If it’s too high, they could be overcharging.
- Check reputation & reviews – Look for customer testimonials, online reviews, and local references to ensure the company has a solid track record.
- Verify licensing & insurance – A trustworthy contractor should be licensed, insured, and able to provide proof upon request.
- Look for professionalism – A legitimate contractor typically has branded trucks, uniforms, and a well-organized process for handling your project.
- Assess communication & trust – Go with a company that answers your questions clearly, explains your options, and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your decision.
A great roofing contractor should offer quality work, transparency, and reliability—not just the lowest price. Do your research and choose wisely!
