Composition Shingles
You might come across the terms "3 Tab Shingle" when discussing asphalt and composition shingles. This is because they're designed in a way that gives the impression of three separate shingles due to notches on a strip.
The higher-quality Composition/Asphalt Shingle products are known as "architectural" or "dimensional" shingles. These shingles are thicker and often layered, creating shadow lines similar to those seen on a thick wood shake. The picture above shows how this results in a textured and rich appearance, different from the flat look of standard three-tab shingles.
All asphalt shingles are covered with a layer of mineral granules. This layer serves to protect the shingle from sunlight, add color, and sometimes even help prevent the growth of algae and fungi. Manufacturers can hinder the growth of unwanted plants by adding copper or zinc to the granule mixture.
Our Selection Boasts a Wide Range of Designs and Colors
At Heartland Roof, we collaborate with leading manufacturers to present you with an extensive array of Composition Shingles. While the options can be overwhelming, we're here to help you quickly navigate through them, considering your budget, the style of your building, color preferences, and what you like.

Impact Resistant Shingles
Impact Resistant Roofing Shingles and Materials are a newer choice for homes and businesses. Heartland Roofing believes these special shingles can be a smart pick for many homeowners. In Texas, we face a lot of damaging hail, so this choice is worth thinking about.
From 1991 to 1995, strong winds and hail caused about $8 billion in insurance payments every year. Roofs took a big hit from wind and hail, making up a big part of that cost. When hail hits asphalt shingles, it can cause big problems like losing a lot of granules, shingle edges breaking, and even holes.
New Impact Resistant shingles are made to handle hits from things like hail and strong winds. They meet the toughest standards for handling hits (Class 4) set by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), as well as wind resistance set by UL and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM International).
​
Some shingle makers have shingles that stand up well against tough weather, like hits from things flying around in the wind or hail. They use different ways to keep the granules stuck on, stop shingles from breaking when they're hit, and keep shingles attached when the wind is strong.
UL 2218 tests how well roofing stuff can handle getting hit. They shoot steel balls at roof pieces and see what happens. Products that get a Class 4 score from UL 2218 are really good at resisting hail damage. Some big insurance companies even give discounts to homeowners who use stuff that gets a Class 4 score. Ask Heartland to learn more about these discounts.
Metal Roofing Contractor in Dallas- Fort Worth, Texas
METAL ROOFING
is quickly becoming a popular option instead of the usual composition shingles. Dallas Metal Roofing offers various styles and colors that can boost the attractiveness and value of your home, along with its numerous benefits over regular roofing.
LONG-LASTING AND TOUGH
Fort Worth metal roofing is far stronger and more resilient compared to asphalt shingle roofing. Many manufacturers provide a 30-year limited paint warranty for their panels. Your metal roof can endure twice as long as most regular roofs. Metal roofing has been the preferred choice for schools, government buildings, and industries due to its durability.
Metal roofing outperforms composition roofing in various weather conditions, including hail, sun exposure, and wind. Unlike shingles, metal roofing won't deteriorate due to sun exposure. While high winds or hail can destroy a composition roof, a metal roof can withstand wind speeds of up to 140 MPH and is highly resistant to hail. Metal roofing performs so well that in Texas, having a metal roof meeting Underwriters Laboratories UL 2218 specifications can qualify you for up to a 35% discount on your homeowner’s insurance.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT
Metal roofs in lighter colors reflect a lot of the sun's UV rays, helping to keep your house cooler and reduce cooling expenses. Studies in Florida show that a metal roof can cut cooling costs by up to 25% or more.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The National Association of Homebuilders Research Center states that around 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles end up in U.S. landfills annually. The recycled steel content in metal roofing is much higher than that in asphalt shingles. Additionally, because metal roofing is much lighter (about half the weight of shingles), it can often be installed right over your existing roof. This saves both the environment and money associated with removal and disposal.

Tile Roofing
Why is TILE ROOFING the most popular roofing option globally? It's because of its unmatched durability, energy efficiency, cost savings, and exceptional protection. Continue reading to understand why Lon Smith Roofing might suggest that a tile roof is the ideal selection for your home.
Built for Long-Lasting Performance
With over a hundred years of real-world use all around the world, tile roofing boasts the longest history of effective performance compared to other roofing materials like asphalt shingles. Advanced engineering designs offer natural water shedding and ventilation features, making tile a top choice for roofs in both warm and cold climates.
Available in Various Colors and Styles
We partner with many leading manufacturers. Roof tiles come in an array of colors, shapes, and sizes. In fact, thanks to modern innovations, concrete and clay roof tile makers can craft tiles that match any architectural style—whether it's classic Spanish, Mediterranean, New England Colonial, historic, or contemporary. Roof tiles can be flat or rounded, imitate wood shakes, or recreate the look of roofing materials used for centuries. The options are practically limitless.
Long-Lasting Defense
Tile's weight is vital to maintain its enduring protection without encountering the issues common with other roofing materials. Most modern homes are structurally sound enough to handle the weight of a tile roof. In certain regions, lightweight tile options are available, suitable for new installations and re-roofing projects. Tile is quickly becoming the preferred re-roofing choice not only due to its resilience but also its straightforward maintenance. Repairing individual tiles is much simpler compared to other roofing materials.
Can Withstand Strong Winds
Thanks to its resilience in severe weather, concrete and clay tiles are the preferred roofing pick for homeowners in areas prone to hurricanes or frequent wind and hail storms—just like many parts of Texas. With proper installation, tile roofing is among the few roofing systems known to endure sustained winds of up to 150 miles per hour.
Economical
Both clay and concrete tile roofs are among the most cost-effective options due to their impressive lifespan of 50 to 100 years or more. Both types of tiles outlast other roofing materials, and manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 50 years to the structure's lifespan. In fact, in Asia and Europe, structures with clay roof tiles have remained strong, functional, and attractive for centuries.
Minimal Maintenance Required
While all roofing systems need some upkeep, tile roofs here in Texas usually demand very little maintenance under normal conditions. With tile, maintenance mainly focuses on gutters, protrusion flashings, and ventilation. In contrast, other roofing systems might require tasks like coating, painting, cleaning, or sealing a significant portion of the roof surface.
Your Heartland Roofing Professional roofing expert can guide you in selecting the right tile roofing type, style, and color to enhance your home's architectural features.
