Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingle roofing remains the most popular choice for homeowners and businesses across East Texas, and for good reason. It’s affordable, durable, and available in a wide range of styles that suit everything from a classic ranch home off Loop 287 to a commercial storefront downtown. At Roof Ryders, we’ve spent over ten years helping property owners throughout the greater Lufkin area protect what matters most with expert shingle installation, replacement, and repair.
Owner Justin Schlichter founded Roof Ryders in 2015 after years of hands-on construction experience, including work as a project manager for a custom home builder in the Houston area. He also holds a Professional Home Inspector License from the State of Texas (TREC #21950), which means every roof we touch gets evaluated with a trained, detail-oriented eye. Our motto says it all: We Ride To Impress. That’s not just a tagline, it’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every single job.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing Services We Offer
Whether you need a full roof replacement after storm damage or you’re upgrading your home’s curb appeal, Roof Ryders provides a complete range of asphalt shingle roofing services for residential and commercial properties. Below is a closer look at the specific shingle options we install and replace across East Texas.
3 Tab Shingle Installation & Replacement
3 tab shingles are the traditional, time-tested option that millions of homeowners trust. They feature a flat, uniform appearance with three individual tabs per strip, giving your roof a clean, classic look. They’re also one of the most budget-friendly asphalt shingle roofing options available.
Roof Ryders installs and replaces 3 tab shingles from leading manufacturers like GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. If your existing 3 tab roof is aging out or has taken damage from one of Lufkin’s spring storms, we can get you back under solid protection quickly and affordably.
Architectural Shingle Roofing
Architectural shingles, sometimes called dimensional or laminate shingles, offer a thicker, more textured profile compared to standard 3 tab options. They’re built with multiple layers of asphalt bonded together, which creates a richer visual depth and significantly longer lifespan. Most architectural shingles carry warranties of 30 years or more.
For property owners who want the best balance of appearance, performance, and value, architectural shingle roofing is our most recommended option. These shingles hold up exceptionally well in the hot, humid climate we deal with here in East Texas and resist wind uplift better than their 3 tab counterparts.
Impact Resistant Shingle Installation
East Texas sees its share of severe weather. Impact resistant shingles are engineered with a modified asphalt blend and reinforced backing that allows them to absorb the force of hail and wind-driven debris without cracking or splitting.
Roof Ryders installs impact resistant shingles that meet or exceed UL 2218 testing standards. Beyond protecting your roof, these shingles can often qualify you for discounts on your homeowner’s insurance premium, a benefit worth looking into with your provider.
Class 4 Hail Rated Shingle Roofing
Class 4 is the highest impact resistance rating a shingle can earn under UL 2218 testing. To achieve this rating, shingles must withstand repeated strikes from a two-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet without cracking. That’s serious durability.
For homes and businesses in Lufkin and the surrounding areas, Class 4 hail rated shingle roofing is a smart long-term investment. These shingles provide the highest level of storm protection available in an asphalt shingle product, and many Texas insurance companies offer premium reductions of 10% or more for roofs with a Class 4 rating.
Hail Rated Shingles for Maximum Storm Protection
If you’ve lived in East Texas for any amount of time, you know that hail season isn’t a matter of if, it’s when. Hail rated shingles give you peace of mind that your roof can take what the sky throws at it.
Roof Ryders helps customers select the right hail rated shingle for their budget, building type, and risk tolerance. We’ll walk you through manufacturer options, warranty details, and the potential insurance savings so you can make a confident, well-informed choice. From initial inspection to final installation, we handle every step of the asphalt shingle roofing process with the care and professionalism our reputation is built on.
