Get a written quoteRoof-to-wall connections built to old code are a major wind mitigation factor, and hurricane clips added during a replacement can improve the score. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live. This is where well-installed architectural shingle is usually the right economic answer over metal or tile, because the wind-rating premium buys less.
On cost: the most affordable full-roof option; the step up to Class 4 impact-rated shingle is a modest premium that usually pays for itself in Texas through carrier discounts.

How it works
Manufacturers say 25–30 years. In Florida and Texas sun, 18–22 is more realistic for standard architectural shingle. Ventilation and installation quality make up most of the difference.
Installation quality matters more than brand. Any of the major manufacturers' architectural lines are fine — ask what the crew installs most, because that's the one they'll do right.
