Asphalt Shingles in Orlando — What You Need to Know
Asphalt shingles are the most installed residential roofing material in Central Florida — and for good reason. They offer the best combination of cost, availability, and appearance for most Florida homeowners. However, Florida’s UV intensity and heat mean shingle lifespans here are 15–25% shorter than national averages. Choosing the right shingle grade matters enormously.
One World Roofing is a GAF Master Elite, Owens Corning Preferred, and CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster certified contractor — one of fewer than 3% of roofing contractors nationwide to hold all three certifications. This lets us offer the strongest manufacturer warranty programs available.
Types of Asphalt Shingles for Orlando Homes
3-Tab Shingles
The entry-level shingle. Flat appearance, uniform cutouts, lightest weight. Still installed in Orlando but largely replaced by architectural. Less wind-resistant than architectural — rated to 60–70 mph only. Suitable for outbuildings and budget constraints.
Architectural (Dimensional)
The most popular FL residential shingle. Laminated construction creates a 3D cedar-shake look. Rated to 110–130 mph wind. Heavier weight improves impact resistance. GAF Timberline HDZ and Owens Corning Duration are the top sellers across Central Florida.
Designer & Impact-Resistant
Premium Class 4 impact-resistant shingles offer maximum protection and qualify for Florida insurance discounts. GAF Camelot II, Owens Corning Woodcrest, CertainTeed Landmark Solaris (solar-reflective). Best long-term value for homeowners staying 15+ years.
