3-Tab Shingles Architectural Shingles Designer Shingles Wood Shake Slate

3-Tab Shingles

Affordability meets functionality! 3-tab asphalt shingles are one piece and a single layer. This makes them the most basic and economical example on the market. 3-tab shingles consist of a durable fiberglass basemat with a coat of mineral granules. This gives each piece varying color tones.

3-tab shingles are lightweight and designed to withstand the elements for about 20 years or more and are easy to recognize by their clean, horizontal appearance. Their exposed layer is notched (usually into three tabs, hence 3-tab moniker) to give a more decorative appearance. 3-tab shingles may be a good choice for homeowners on budget.

Unfortunately, 3-tab shingles lack some of the aesthetic qualities of dimensional and luxury shingles. Blow-off — which is exactly what it sounds like — is also a threat to aging or poorly installed 3-tab shingles in rough weather conditions. 3-tab shingles still protect your home from the elements. The day of the 3-tab shingle, however, is passing. You’ll most commonly find 3-tab shingles on new economy homes or older houses that were built with 3-tab shingle roofs.

Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles are high-quality dimensional or laminated shingles. They are made from a fiberglass mat base with ceramic coated minerals embedded in water-resistant asphalt. The shingles are made of several layers of material.

Architectural shingles have 25-50 year warranties. They are more resistant to high winds up to 120 mph, rain and snow. Although Illinois does not experience hurricane force winds, we do get strong winter storms.The heavy architectural shingles hold up well in stormy weather and provide good roof insulation.

When installed by a certified contractor, the shingles are less likely to crack or break when exposed to harsh weather conditions or continued sunlight. They are treated to resist algae and mold.

These raised shingles may cost about 20% more than flat three-tab shingles but they last longer and add more value to your home. They were originally designed for larger high-end homes, but they work on any building with a peaked or slanted roof.

Designer Shingles

About 10 years ago, the residential roofing industry got really creative, and created dimensional shingles. Designer shingles maintain the three dimensional appearance but with countless alternatives, from Victorian or an Old World look to the more rugged and dramatic look of shake or tile.

Dimensional shingles are asphalt shingles that have two layers of shingle material bonded together, giving them a three dimensional appearance.

Designer shingles weigh more than traditional asphalt shingles (not as much as slate or tile). Because of their bonded layers, they are extremely durable and built to withstand winds in excess of 110 miles per hour. Many versions have the ability to resist the growth of algae and prevent black streaking. Designer shingles are for any type of roof. In addition, many brands are so well-made they offer lifetime warranties rather than just a 20 or 30 year guarantee.

Wood Shake

Wood Shake roofing systems offer a beautiful appearance due to their thick texture, dimension and depth. Each piece looks slightly different than the next due to the varying groves and patterns giving your roof unique and natural look. Another reason homeowners choose wood shake, is due to its insulating advantages. Since wood is a poor conductor of heat, it helps manage the temperature of your home. Wood Shake is also very durable and resistant to storm damage. The one downside is maintenance. A wood shake roofing system requires regularly applying protective coatings and treatments.

Slate

If you want your home to be noticed, Installing a Slate Roofing system provides massive curb appeal. Slate roofs are not only beautiful but also very durable. When Slate Roofs are properly installed, they can last well over 75 years with little maintenance. Due to the excessive weight, Installing a slate roof requires constructing a special roof deck and potentially additional support. Huuso Exteriors Slate installation teams are experienced and will take every precaution.

Testimonials

We had storm damage on our roof and the team at Huuso was amazing. Other roofers wouldn't touch our house because of the insurance claim and our company. Mark, Reuben and the team dealt with our insurance company, which was a nightmare, and got us everything we deserved. Having a mansard roof they spent several days at our house. The team was professional, proficient and took care of our property. They did a great job cleaning up each night and at the end of the project. With their help we were able to bring new life back to our house. Mark was available to us any time we reached out and even stopped by to help discuss our concerns, bring samples and meet with the insurance company so we didn't have to be there. I would not hesitate to use their company.

-Melissa F. (Kelly), Yorkville, IL

Our roof was deteriorating and twice the insurance company refused to cover it, citing "no visible damage." My wife gave it one more shot and contacted Huuso which brought Mark to our door. Mark told us he would continue to fight with the insurance company until they covered our claim and unbelievably, was able to do just that. The price was fair and the work was done quickly and professionally. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a new roof or is having trouble with his or her insurance company - Mark will fight for you.

-Dorian J., Plainfield, IL

This experience could have been a nightmare if we didn’t have Mark and the Huuso team. Mark really took the time to work with us and our insurance company! He diligently fought for us to make the insurance understand the local codes and finally got them to approve our claim! We were putting our home on the market and Mark made sure to get it taken care of for us so we could get the house listed in the timeframe we were working with! He came out the day of the storm damage and has been with us every step of the process! The roof turned out amazing and the crew was professional, friendly and took extra measures to keep the property clean! From start to finish, they have been wonderful to work with! I highly suggest if you’re looking to have work done on your roof or gutters CALL HUUSO! Mark is great!

-Lindsay H., Big Rock, IL

From the initial meeting with Mark L. I had a great feeling about hiring Huuso. I myself am in Commercial Millwork and continually have my eye on perfection on the job site. From the straight margins, drip edge installation, super clean shingle installation and flashing at all locations, it is a superb job. I will absolutely recommend but also encourage Huuso for your upcoming repair or new installation project. To all of the employees, be very proud of the wonderful job you completed.

-Damian C., Naperville, IL

I did have my roof replaced with Huuso exteriors and after struggling with 2 other companies back and forth never had the approval from insurance for other companies. Then when I finally found Husso exteriors from time they we start inspections to insurance approval only did take 17 days including installation.
Great, fast and clean Professional team from inspectors ,installers all the way. I recommend Huuso exteriors to everyone.
