ARCHITECTURAL SHINGLES
The most popular roofing choice for Florida homes. Architectural shingles combine dimensional beauty, superior durability, and excellent wind resistance—delivering exceptional value for homeowners.
Expert Architectural Shingles Services in Lake County
Architectural shingles have become America's most popular roofing product, and Florida homeowners have especially embraced them. Their layered construction creates visual depth that mimics more expensive roofing materials while providing the durability needed for our demanding climate.
The multi-layer design isn't just about appearance—it delivers real performance benefits. Architectural shingles are thicker, heavier, and more resistant to wind uplift than traditional 3-tab shingles. With wind ratings commonly reaching 110-130 mph, they're well-suited for hurricane country.
At Pro Specialty Services, we're certified installers for major manufacturers including GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. This certification means access to the best warranty programs available and confidence that your roof is installed to manufacturer specifications.
Why Architectural Shingles Lead the Market
Value proposition is exceptional. Architectural shingles cost only 15-25% more than 3-tab but offer 50-100% longer warranties, dramatically better wind resistance, and enhanced curb appeal. For the modest premium, you get significantly more roof.
Wind performance matters in Florida. 110-130 mph wind ratings meet and exceed Florida building code requirements. When storms hit, architectural shingles stay put while lesser products can fail.
Visual impact enhances home value. The dimensional appearance of architectural shingles adds depth and character to any roofline. This curb appeal translates to real value—both in enjoyment and resale price.

Common Questions
Quality architectural shingles typically last 25-30 years in Florida with proper installation and ventilation. Premium products can last longer. The key factors are installation quality, ventilation, and choosing products rated for Florida conditions.
GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed all make excellent products. Differences are subtle—warranty terms, color options, and special features vary. We can explain the differences and help you choose based on your priorities.
Often yes in Florida. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles cost 15-25% more but can reduce insurance premiums 15-30%. Over time, insurance savings often exceed the additional cost—plus you get genuine hail protection.
Florida code requires shingles rated for your location's wind zone. Most of Central Florida requires 130+ mph ratings. Quality architectural shingles meet these requirements when installed properly.
Premium architectural shingles are designed to mimic slate, wood shake, and other materials. While not identical to the real thing, high-definition products achieve impressive resemblance at a fraction of the cost.
Standard architectural shingles carry 30-year limited warranties. Premium products offer 40-50 year or lifetime warranties. With our manufacturer certifications, we can offer enhanced warranty coverage including labor.
