Our Approach
Designer shingles are not the shingles on most Tampa Bay roofs
There's a real difference between builder-grade three-tab shingles and designer shingles. Designer shingles are heavier, thicker, and shaped to replicate natural slate or cedar shake. They carry stronger wind ratings and premium warranty options, and they look like a far more expensive roof from the street.
They're the most approachable premium roof we install. If you want a significant upgrade over what's on your house now without moving to metal or tile, this is usually where that conversation starts.
