Types of Asphalt Shingle Roofs We Install
There are three types of asphalt shingles to consider: three-tab asphalt shingles, architectural, and premium asphalt shingles.
Three-tab Asphalt Shingles
Three-tab shingles are the most common, classified by their cutouts which make them look like three separate pieces. They’re affordable, lightweight, easy to maintain, energy efficient, and can last up to 20 years.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Architectural shingles can last up to 50 years, making them more durable and long-lasting than three-tab shingles. Additionally, they come in more colors and are laminated to add more dimension to your roof’s aesthetic. These are becoming a more popular option for homeowners because they look great and you won’t have to worry about a replacement for a long time.
Premium Asphalt Shingles
Premium asphalt shingles are designed to look like other high-end roofing materials, like slate and cedar. Even better, they cost a lot less! With these shingles, you don’t have to compromise the look of your dream home.

Frank did my roof inspection and explained everything to me. Frank is very knowledgeable and I recommend calling Alamo for your home project. They just finished my roof and it looks fantastic! I will be calling them for additional work. … More

When working on older homes there are always issues and it was that for us. When Alamo was working on the facia they noticed brick issues and former facia not installed flat. They worked hard and corrected all of it. Our salesman Frank … More is beyond outstanding. A true asset to the team. He staying in close contact as any issues arrived to be sure they were not only resolved but were corrected in a most professional way. The team that installed the steep roof did an outstanding job. We waited for a few good rains before posting this review. And we are so pleased to say not only is it the most amazing roof install neat & beautifully appealing, but it does the job!! No more roof leaks :). I must also take the time to point out of Frank our Salesman services and roof inspection. We had several companies out and he was the only one that took the time to truly look at all areas of the roof. He discovered a bullet in the roof in a spot that was not leaking. He and my husband worked together so outstanding to be sure the police had it to process correctly. Never would we have thought such a thing would be in our neighborhood. The police pointed out it could have been from very far away. When the job was done Frank came by once again to be sure we were very pleased. We reviewed some of the unforseen issues and he was sure to do proper adjustments for our family. Never have we worked with such an honest and compassionate sales person. They also did an amazing job on the gutters. To say this company is good, 5 stars is not enough. They truly are such a wonderful group of folks to work with. Thank you. If our son's brother in law can not get to our siding we will be sure to have them do that as well. We have all the confidence they will do a great job on that as well. The old slogan from ghostbusters... who ya gonna call? Well for roofing issues it is Alamo Roofing... they are the best.

I recently had a mysterious roof leak that previous companies attempted to repair, while others couldn't begin to figure out where the leak was coming from. I called Alamo, Frank came out the next morning and in 15 minutes found the … More leak, quoted me an affordable price - and made certain the leak was repaired that same day - as we were expecting another "gully washer" of storms. Frank is personable, professional and has an attention to detail that is rarely seen - anymore. Everyone I met that day brought their "A" game. They have my business - as well as pop and ice cream that I gave them. LOL Call Alamo, meet Frank - all will be well.

I had a leaking roof from a skylight that was previously replaced by another company 13 years ago. That co, Ruel Roofing, came out to look at it and they were very unprofessional and slapped some tar around skylight and roof still leaked. … More Contacted Alamo and Frank came out, inspected roof himself, gave me a quote on high quality skylight plywood and shingles and had the job done to perfection in a very timely manner. Highly recommend Alamo Construction!

Alamo Construction is the best! I dealt with Frank on my roofing needs. He was courteous and knowledgeable on my roof tear off. They negotiated a good price for me and sent the crew to my home and pulled permits! They were done in about … More 1 day. Yep one day! Almost 2000 sq ft in one day. Go with the best, go with Alamo!
