Premium Dimensional Shingles | Tell Project Roofing Contractors | (832) 591-7991
Welcome to Tell Project Roofing Contractors, Houston's premier installer of architectural and designer shingles. With 15+ years of experience and 500+ completed projects, we help Houston homeowners upgrade to premium roofing that combines superior protection with exceptional curb appeal.
Architectural shingles (also known as dimensional or laminated shingles) are the most popular choice for Houston homeowners seeking an upgrade from standard 3-tab shingles. These premium shingles feature multiple layers of asphalt and fiberglass that create a dimensional, textured appearance resembling natural wood or slate at a fraction of the cost.
For homeowners seeking the ultimate in roofing aesthetics, we offer designer shingles that replicate the look of natural slate, cedar shake, or tile. Designer options include:
Three-tab shingles were once the standard, but Houston's storm exposure has shifted demand decisively toward architectural shingles. Here's why the upgrade matters:
Shingle color affects both aesthetics and energy efficiency in Houston's heat. Our color consultation process considers:
Average installed prices for a typical 2,000 sq ft Houston home:
All Tell Project installations include full deck inspection, ice and water shield at all penetrations, and proper attic ventilation verification.
Architectural shingles are multi-layered for dimension and typically come in 25-30 year warranties. Designer shingles add a third dimension with premium sculpted profiles that replicate slate, cedar shake, or tile. Designer shingles cost 40-80% more but offer lifetime warranties and dramatically enhanced curb appeal.
For Houston's combination of heat, humidity, hail, and hurricane-force winds, we recommend Owens Corning Duration STORM (130 mph wind rating, SureNail technology) or Atlas StormMaster Shake (Class 4 impact rated). Both are engineered for the Gulf Coast climate and carry enhanced manufacturer warranties when installed by certified contractors like Tell Project.
Texas building code allows one overlay (two layers total). However, we recommend complete tear-off for Houston homes because the existing layer traps moisture in our humid climate, shortening the new roof's lifespan. Tear-off also lets us inspect the deck for hidden rot — a common issue in Houston's humidity.
Yes. Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles (like Atlas StormMaster or CertainTeed Impact Resistant) qualify for insurance premium discounts of 5-28% depending on your carrier. For a typical Houston home, that's $200-$600 per year in savings — often recouping the upgrade cost within 5-8 years.
With proper installation and ventilation, architectural shingles last 22-28 years in Houston's climate. This is shorter than the 30-year manufacturer rating because Houston's UV exposure and heat accelerate aging. Regular inspections every 2-3 years and prompt storm damage repairs maximize lifespan.
We proudly serve Houston and surrounding areas including Bellaire, Meyerland, Memorial, Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Pearland, Cypress, Spring, Humble, League City, and Baytown.
