Three-Tab Shingle Roofs – No More
Exchanging Three-Tab Shingles for Superior Products in Colorado Springs
Three-tab asphalt shingles are one of the most common residential roofing systems in Colorado Springs – common doesn’t always mean good, though. Through the late 1980s three-tab asphalt shingles were the most prevalent asphalt shingle roofing system on the market as an affordable and economical option for homeowners. While three-tab shingles were an excellent choice in their prime, they can no longer compete with the superior asphalt shingle options available, today.

Disadvantages of Three-Tab Shingle Roofs
Shorter Lifespan
While many manufacturers advertise three-tab shingles as having a 20 year lifespan the truth of the matter is quite different. With exposure to harsh weather and the elements most three-tab shingles will only last 10-15 years.
Durability
Three-tab shingles just can’t stand up to the greater durability of architectural and luxury shingles. They’re thinner and lighter which makes them very susceptible to wind and impact damage. This also means that even with the best care and maintenance your roof will likely be in need of regular repairs that wouldn’t be needed with other asphalt shingle types.
Curb Appeal
There’s no arguing denying it: three-tab shingles are boring to look at. They’re specifically made to lay flat and have a completely uniform appearance. Architectural shingles are created to have more dimension and give your roof a higher level of curb appeal while luxury shingles are made to mimic the look of higher-end roofing materials like cedar and slate.
Home Value
Because they lack in quality, three-tab shingles will not add any value to your home, even if your roof is brand new. Higher quality shingles will add value to your home and give you a better return on investment than three-tab shingles.

I am very happy with the service I received. From beginning to end Ben has been a dream to work with, Ben made sure that I was keep in the loop on when supplies where going to be delivered and when my roof was going to be replaced. They … More even sent Jose in to fix some drywall that was damaged (not caused by integrity). Ben, John and Nathanial were very professional all the way through the job and each and everyone of them showed compassion and understanding my moods and never once were they rude. I will recommend Integrity Roofing to anyone I know that needs a roof done. Well done guys and thank you all

We were selling our home and found that the roof had significant hail damage during the inspection. I called Integrity Roofing and they were able to complete the job for us quickly and help us walk through the insurance claim to make the … More process as painless as possible. Anthony was great, as well as the whole team. I would recommend using them!

I'd like to take a moment to share my experience with Integrity Roofing and Painting. Specifically, I'd like to mention my representative, Jordan Jeffords. Unlike other roofing companies that provided me with estimates, Jordan … More actually took the time to listen to my concerns and understand my unique situation. I say unique because with an aggressive closing timeline for the sale of my home, I discovered that my roof needed to be replaced as a result of my builder installing faulty shingles. It was literally the worst case scenario!
Instead of taking advantage of my vulnerability and pushing a hard sale to put money in his pocket, Jordan demonstrated empathy. Yes, I said empathy. He assured me that he'd do everything possible to provide me with accurate quotes; even connecting me with outside vendors in the local solar industry to provide savings on the removal and reinstall of my panels. Trust me, having someone to point you in the right direction when it comes to solar panels and replacing your roof is important. It can be VERY expensive! Knowing my situation and the need to receive a timely and competitive quote - Jordan delivered. No strings attached.
If the scenario weren't predicated on the quick sale of my home via a pricing concession, I would have given Jordan and Integrity my business. Although other companies provided lower quotes, I firmly believe that working with a vendor that takes a genuine interest in supporting their customer is priceless. In the event that you need to repair or replace your roof - call Integrity Roofing and Painting. Be sure to specifically as for Jordan because he's an outstanding young man that cares for his customers.
