This is the Olmos Park 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 quoteOlder homes have older electrical and plumbing penetrations through the roof; replacing the boots and flashings on all of them is cheap during a re-roof and expensive later. Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable. Metal roofs shrug off hail punctures but can dent cosmetically, and several Texas carriers now exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check before you switch.
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.
