Why Asphalt Shingles
Are the Right Choice
Asphalt shingles cover more than 75% of U.S. homes — and for good reason. They deliver strong performance against heat, rain, wind, and hail at a cost that makes financial sense. Today’s architectural shingles bear no resemblance to the thin 3-tab shingles of the past. Properly installed with quality materials and adequate ventilation, a modern asphalt shingle roof can last 30–50 years.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Ultimate Roofing installs OC’s full product line — from their TruDefinition Duration series to impact-resistant Duration Storm shingles — backed by manufacturer warranties you can’t get from a contractor without preferred status.
We’ll recommend the right shingle for your roof, your budget, and your climate exposure. No upselling. No cutting corners. Honest guidance from people who’ve done this for nearly 20 years.

Asphalt Shingle Types
We’ll help you choose the right product for your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay. Here’s what we install — and when each makes sense.
Single-layer shingles with a flat, uniform look. Lightest weight and lowest cost, but shorter lifespan and less wind resistance than dimensional options. Becoming less common as architectural shingles become the standard.
Multi-layer dimensional shingles with a rich, textured appearance. Significantly heavier and more wind-resistant than 3-tab. The standard choice for virtually every residential replacement we do. Owens Corning Duration series.
Class 4 impact rating — the highest available. Engineered to withstand hail that would crack standard shingles. May qualify for a homeowner insurance discount. Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Storm.
Oversized, multi-layer shingles that replicate the look of slate or wood shake at a fraction of the cost. Maximum curb appeal and the longest warranties available in asphalt. Owens Corning Berkshire Collection.

Asphalt Shingle Questions,
Answered Honestly
3-tab asphalt shingles typically last 15–25 years in Mississippi’s climate. Architectural (dimensional) shingles generally last 25–40 years. Impact-resistant and premium architectural shingles can last 40–50 years with proper attic ventilation and maintenance. Mississippi’s heat, humidity, and periodic severe storms are harder on shingles than milder climates — regular inspections every 2–3 years help identify minor issues before they shorten the roof’s life.
3-tab shingles are single-layer shingles with a flat, uniform appearance. They’re lighter, less expensive, and carry shorter warranties (20–25 years). Architectural shingles — also called dimensional or laminated shingles — are multi-layer, heavier, and create a textured, layered appearance. They’re significantly more wind-resistant, carry longer warranties (30–50 years), and are now the standard choice for most residential roofing projects.
Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, shingle grade, and any decking or ventilation work required. Expect $6,000–$10,000 for a smaller home (1,200–1,800 sq ft), $10,000–$16,000 for an average home (1,800–2,800 sq ft), and $16,000+ for larger or more complex roofs. The only accurate way to price your roof is a free inspection. Call (662) 331-3000.
Yes — when properly installed with quality materials and adequate attic ventilation, asphalt shingles perform well in Mississippi. We recommend architectural shingles rated for at least 130 mph wind resistance. In areas with frequent hail exposure, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can reduce storm damage and may qualify for homeowner insurance discounts. Proper attic ventilation is critical in Mississippi’s heat — an overheated attic significantly shortens shingle life regardless of shingle quality.
Owens Corning architectural shingles carry limited lifetime warranties against manufacturing defects on most product lines. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, Ultimate Roofing can offer the Owens Corning System Warranty — which covers both materials and workmanship when we install a qualifying OC roofing system. This is a manufacturer-backed warranty you can’t get from non-preferred contractors. Ask about specific options when we provide your estimate.
