Asphalt shingle is what nearly every roof in Milwaukee metro is made of, and the real choice is between three tab and architectural.
At a glance
- Architectural shingles are thicker and hold up better in wind than three tab.
- Impact rated shingles can earn a discount on the insurance premium.
- Shingles need warmth to seal down, so late season roofs may need hand sealing.
- The wind rating on the box only applies if the nailing pattern matches it.

Common questions
How long do asphalt shingles last here
Architectural shingles usually give twenty to thirty years. Hail and poor attic ventilation are what cut that short.
What is a class four shingle
It is the top impact rating in the standard test. It resists hail better and many insurers discount the premium for it.
Can shingles be installed in cold weather
Yes, but they will not self seal until it warms up. A good crew hand seals the vulnerable courses when they roof in the cold.
