Asphalt shingles cover the large majority of Indiana homes, for good reasons: they are affordable, they suit our temperature swings, and any competent crew can install and repair them.
These articles cover what actually differs between products. Three-tab versus architectural and why the price gap is smaller than the lifespan gap. What impact ratings mean in a hail-prone state. Why a 30-year shingle rarely lasts thirty years in practice, and what the warranty is really covering when you read it closely. How underlayment, starter strip and ridge cap — the parts nobody quotes on — decide whether the roof performs as designed.
There is also the honest comparison against metal, tile and synthetic slate, including where asphalt is the better choice and where it plainly is not.
If you are choosing shingles for a replacement, read the sections on impact rating and ventilation before you settle on a colour. Both matter more to how long it lasts.
