Average Cost of Different Shingle Types in Jacksonville
One of the first steps in the roof replacement process is deciding which type of roof is right for you. Asphalt shingle is the most popular. Our first step is understanding the average cost of each of the asphalt shingle roofs available in Jacksonville.
With 4 different asphalt shingle options to choose from, We'll start by going over the differences in cost between the 4 shingles so that you can make a better-informed decision on which one may be right for you.
3-Tab Shingles: Budget-Friendly Roofing Options
3-Tab asphalt shingles are the cheapest shingles on the market, these are often referred to as builder-grade shingles. 3-tab shingles are often installed on new construction homes and sometimes smaller investment properties. 3-tabs are good if you have an extremely tight budget and you are okay with less wind protection for your home.
For a 3-tab shingle roof on a home in Jacksonville with 2 straight sides and no chimneys or skylights, the average cost is $7,300.
For a 3-tab shingle roof on a home with 2 stories that are a little more complex, the average cost is $8,950.

Architectural Shingles: Enhancing Curb Appeal and Durability
Architectural asphalt shingles are heavier than the 3-tab shingles and provide you with a much better wind rating than the lighter 3-tab shingles.
Architectural shingles are sometimes referred to as laminated or dimensional shingles because, during the production of the shingle, the manufacturer laminates shingle parts together. This laminated part creates depth or provides dimension.
Fun fact, this shingle was first designed to look like real wood shake shingles. So, in my opinion, the brown tones look the most natural on a roof.
Again, these are the most popular asphalt shingles used on homes for a new roof replacement in the Jacksonville area.
