This is the Davenport 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 quoteMost housing is under 15 years old, so roofing here is about storm damage or an early-failing builder install rather than age. Builder warranty claims against the original roofer are sometimes an option worth checking before paying out of pocket. Attic heat is the silent killer of inland shingle roofs; temperatures above 140°F cook asphalt from underneath, and ventilation is the line item most quotes skip.
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.
