One of the first steps in the shingle replacement process is deciding which of the 4 asphalt shingle types is right for you. Let's discuss the average cost of each of the asphalt shingles available in Jacksonville.
The Average Cost for a 3-Tab Shingle in Jacksonville
3-Tab asphalt shingles are the most economical shingles on the market, these shingles are often referred to as "builder-grade" shingles.
The 3-Tab shingles are often installed on new construction homes and investment properties. It's a good choice if you have an extremely tight budget. Not the best of choices if you're looking for the greatest wind protection.
Aesthetics: They provide a slate shingle look
Lifespan: Typically lasts 12-15 years
Protection: Being the lightest asphalt shingle they provide the least wind protection, during a major wind event the 3-tab shingles are at a greater risk to blow off the roof.
For a 3-tab shingle on a home with 2 straight sides. Simple roof with no chimneys or skylights. The average cost is $7,300
For a 3-tab shingle on a home with a split level or 2 stories. Complex roofline with a chimney or dormers. The average cost is $10,600

The Cost to Replace Your Roof in Jacksonville Florida Installing an Architectural Shingle
Architectural asphalt shingles also known as dimensional shingles are heavier than the 3-tab shingles and will provide you a much better wind rating than the much lighter 3-tab shingles. Architectural shingles are also the most common of the asphalt shingles used today.
Architectural shingles are sometimes referred to as laminated because, during the production of the shingle, the manufacturer laminates shingle parts together. This laminated part creates depth or provides dimension. This shingle was designed to look like real wood shingles.
In my opinion, the darker colors, especially the brown colors, look more natural. Because they resemble a real wood shake shingle roof more 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!
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. Check out Bob Villa's how long shingle roofs last here.
Protection: With the correct installation methods they can provide wind coverage up to 130 mph depending on which manufacturer you go with.
For an architectural shingle roof on a home with 2 straight sides and no chimneys or skylights, the average cost is $11,200
For an architectural shingle roof on a home more complex and has several valleys, the average cost is $17,100

The Cost in Duval County to Install an Upgraded Architectural Shingle
Upgraded architectural asphalt shingles will provide you with the same economic ease as the 3-tab and architectural shingles. The major difference is the curb appeal. Side by side with its little brother the regular architectural shingle there is no comparison.
The upgraded shingles are 20% heavier in weight which makes it a thicker shingle. Which gives your roof more definition, creating pop and boosting the curb appeal.
Aesthetics: The thickness of these shingles creates a very noticeable difference that provides an extra pop from the street.
Lifespan: Created with more asphalt in the shingle, these shingles typically last 25 to 30 years.
Protection: The heavier a product the less likely it is to blow off in a major wind storm. These shingles can weigh as much as 100 lb per square foot more than regular architectural shingles depending on the manufacturer you choose.
