The Average Cost to Tear Off and Replace a Roof with a 3-Tab Shingle in Odessa, FL
3-tab asphalt shingles are the most economical shingles available. 3-tab shingles are often referred to as builder-grade shingles. Because they're installed on many new construction homes and some smaller investment properties. A good choice, if you have an extremely tight budget. The downside is that they provide the least wind protection for your family's home.
Aesthetics: They provide a slate shingle look.
Lifespan: Typically lasts 12 to 15 years.

Cost to Tear Off and Replace a Roof in Odessa with an Architectural Shingle.
The most cost-effective roof on the market. Architectural asphalt shingles are heavier than the 3-tab shingles and will provide you with a much better wind rating than the much lighter 3-tab shingles.
Architectural shingles are sometimes referred to as laminated or dimensional shingles. During the production of the architectural shingle, the manufacturer laminates shingle parts together. This laminated part creates depth and provides dimension. Little fun fact, this shingle was designed to look like real wood shake shingles.
Architectural shingles are also the most popular asphalt shingles installed on homes.
In my opinion, the darker colors, especially the brown colors, typically look more natural, because they resemble a real wood shake shingle roof more so than the gray colors or lighter gray colors do. Hey, maybe it's because I know they were designed to look like wood shingles and wood shingles are brown…huh?
Aesthetics: These shingles provide a dimension that will provide more curb appeal.
Lifespan: Most architectural roofs last 17 to 22 years with proper roof ventilation
