Christmas · Orange County · Retail
This is the Christmas 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.
Get a written quoteSummer thunderstorms, not hurricanes, cause most of the roof damage here: straight-line wind, lightning strikes, and the occasional tornado embedded in a squall line. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.
What it costs in Christmas: 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.
