About Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing material in America for good reason: they deliver outstanding weather protection, come in dozens of colors and styles, and provide excellent value at every price point. Edison Roofing Contractor installs and repairs all types of asphalt shingles throughout Middlesex County, from cost-effective three-tab shingles to premium designer architectural shingles that replicate the look of slate or cedar shake. Modern architectural shingles have transformed what homeowners can expect from asphalt roofing. Products like GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, and Owens Corning Duration offer Class A fire ratings, wind resistance up to 130 miles per hour, and algae resistance that keeps your roof looking clean for decades. These dimensional shingles create shadow lines and depth that give your home a high-end appearance without the weight or cost of natural materials. Our certified installers follow strict manufacturer application guidelines to ensure your warranty coverage remains fully valid, including proper nailing patterns, starter strip placement, and ventilation requirements. As a GAF-certified contractor, we can offer extended warranty options that cover both materials and workmanship for comprehensive protection. Whether you are replacing an aging three-tab roof with modern architectural shingles or repairing storm damage on your existing asphalt roof, Edison Roofing Contractor delivers the quality installation that makes asphalt shingles perform at their best.

Benefits of Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt Shingle Roofing FAQ
What is the difference between three-tab and architectural shingles?
Three-tab shingles are flat, uniform strips with cutouts that create a repetitive pattern on your roof. They are the most economical option but have shorter lifespans of 15 to 20 years and lower wind resistance ratings. Architectural shingles, also called dimensional or laminate shingles, are built with multiple layers that create depth, shadow lines, and a more visually interesting appearance. They last 25 to 30 years, resist winds up to 130 miles per hour, and come in a much wider range of colors and profiles. For most homeowners, the small price difference makes architectural shingles the better long-term investment. Contact Edison Roofing Contractor to see samples of both options.
How long do asphalt shingles last in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, quality architectural asphalt shingles typically last 22 to 30 years, while three-tab shingles last 15 to 20 years. Our climate puts significant demands on roofing materials with hot, humid summers, cold winters with ice and snow, and frequent storms from nor-easters and coastal weather systems. Proper installation, adequate ventilation, and regular maintenance are the three factors that most influence how long your shingles actually perform. A poorly ventilated attic can cut shingle life by 25 percent or more by trapping heat that bakes shingles from below. Edison Roofing Contractor ensures every installation includes proper ventilation to maximize your shingle lifespan.
Are impact-resistant shingles worth the extra cost?
Impact-resistant shingles, rated Class 4 by Underwriters Laboratories, are designed to withstand hail impacts that would crack or dent standard shingles. They cost roughly 10 to 20 percent more than standard architectural shingles but can pay for themselves through insurance premium discounts that many carriers offer for Class 4 roofs, sometimes reducing your premium by 5 to 28 percent depending on your insurer and location. If your area has experienced hail storms or if you want the best possible protection against storm damage, Class 4 shingles are a smart investment. Contact Edison Roofing Contractor to learn about impact-resistant options for your home.
