This is the Southside page for shingle roofing. The short version: you want the best value roof that still meets code and insurance requirements, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.

Ridge and soffit ventilation added during a replacement often does more for the roof's service life than upgrading the shingle line. Most construction here dates from the '80s and '90s, so roofs are on their second cycle and carriers increasingly want to see a replacement date.
What it costs in Southside: 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.
