3-Tab Shingles Are the Devil, Liberty Hill, Texas
Sitting on a roof in Liberty Hill, Texas, I’m talking about three-tab shingles and why homeowners facing a roof replacement should understand their roofing upgrade options before automatically putting the same type of system back.

What this video shows
Three-tab shingles were installed across Central Texas for decades, but homeowners today have access to architectural shingles, impact-resistant shingles, and upgraded roofing systems that can offer better durability, wind performance, and overall protection. That doesn’t mean everyone needs the most expensive roof available. It means homeowners should understand what is currently installed, what replacement options exist, and whether upgrading the roofing system makes sense for their home and budget. A roof is more than shingles. Underlayment, flashing, ventilation, accessories, and installation all work together as a complete roofing system.
