Generally, building supply companies use “luxury shingles” to describe their premium shingles lines.
In the roofing industry, luxury shingles are recognized for their superior quality, durability, and enhanced curb appeal compared to other roofing materials. But unlike phrases like “fire resistant”, there are no regulations defining “luxury.” You have to take luxury asphalt shingle vendors at their word.
CertainTeed has been in the building supplies business for almost 120 years. They have a long track record of providing top-quality materials to discriminating buyers.
While CertainTeed offers some mid-market lines like its Landmark shingles, which are considered standard architectural shingles, and also provides options similar to traditional asphalt shingles, its bread and butter has always been the premium market. CertainTeed is to luxury shingles what Lexus is to luxury cars.
Premium asphalt shingles can evoke the look of natural slate tile or wood shake scales, offering a significant upgrade in aesthetic appeal and textures compared to basic 3 tab shingles.
While 3 tab shingles are a more affordable, budget-friendly option, they require more maintenance, have a shorter lifespan, and offer less durability and curb appeal than luxury shingles. Luxury shingles, on the other hand, are designed to enhance your home’s curb appeal and resale value, providing a 60–70% ROI when selling your home, but they can be more expensive both for materials and installation.
CertainTeed’s premium shingles are much thicker and heavier than standard asphalt and architectural shingles, making installation more challenging and often requiring a certified roofing contractor. Improper installation can void warranties for luxury shingles, so hiring a certified professional is essential.
Luxury shingles often come with a 30-year prorated warranty and an option for a 50-year non-prorated warranty if installed correctly. The installation process for luxury shingles can also take longer than for standard shingles due to their size and weight.
Because premium roofing shingles are thicker than standard shingles, they’re also heavier. You need to check the roof frame to make sure it can handle the extra weight. Your roofer will also need to strip the old roof off entirely before applying luxury designer shingles.
Regular maintenance is important to ensure the longevity and performance of luxury shingles, but they require less maintenance compared to standard asphalt shingles, saving homeowners time and money in the long run. With proper care, luxury shingles can last up to 50 years, while architectural shingles generally last around 30 years.

Luxury shingles often come with extended warranties, some lasting up to 50 years or even a lifetime when installed by certified contractors, providing peace of mind regarding your investment.
In terms of cost, luxury shingles can cost 2 to 3 times more than traditional shingles, with installed costs ranging from $7.50 to $12.50 per square foot, typically around $8.00 per square foot, compared to architectural shingles at about $5.86 per square foot. While this impacts affordability, the value, durability, and enhanced curb appeal make luxury shingles a premium choice.
Luxury shingles offer a distinctive aesthetic appeal with varying shadow lines, bold color options, custom-cut profiles, and realistic textures that replicate the appearance of natural materials like slate, cedar shake, or clay tile.
They differ from traditional shingles through their heavier construction, dimensional look, enhanced storm protection, and a wide variety of styles and textures to suit different tastes and complement your home’s architecture. Choosing the right style can further boost your home’s curb appeal and reflect your personal taste.

CertainTeed premium shingles are more expensive than generic shingles, but you get what you pay for.

When it comes to choosing the right roofing materials for your home, energy efficiency is just as important as appearance and durability. Luxury asphalt shingles stand out not only for their stunning curb appeal and high-end look, but also for their impressive ability to help keep your home comfortable year-round while saving you money on energy bills.
One of the key advantages of a luxury shingle roof is its superior insulation. Premium asphalt shingles are typically much thicker and denser than standard asphalt shingles, which means they provide an extra layer of protection against the elements. This added insulation helps keep your home cooler in the summer by blocking out the sun’s heat, and warmer in the winter by retaining indoor warmth. As a result, your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard, leading to lower utility costs and a more energy-efficient home.
Luxury shingles also feature advanced reflective properties that help deflect sunlight, rather than absorbing it like many standard shingles. This is especially beneficial for homeowners in areas with hot summers, as it reduces the amount of heat that penetrates your roof and enters your living space. The result? A home that stays more comfortable, even during the hottest months, and a noticeable reduction in air conditioning expenses.
Durability is another area where high end shingles excel. Because luxury shingles are crafted from quality materials and built to last, they maintain their insulating and reflective performance for decades. Many luxury shingle options come with extended warranties—sometimes up to 50 years—giving you peace of mind and long-term protection for your investment. This longevity means you won’t have to worry about frequent roof replacements, further enhancing the overall value and cost-effectiveness of your new roof.
Investing in premium roofing doesn’t just benefit your wallet through energy savings; it can also boost your property’s resale value. Homes with luxury shingle roofs are more attractive to potential buyers, thanks to their enhanced appearance, superior performance, and the promise of lower energy bills. In fact, a luxury shingle roof can recoup a significant portion of its cost at resale, making it a smart choice for homeowners looking to maximize their return.
If you’re considering a roof replacement or want to upgrade to a more energy-efficient option, luxury asphalt shingles are a great choice. They combine the best in insulation, durability, and style, ensuring your home stands out while staying comfortable and efficient. At County Roofing Systems, we’re here to help you select and install the perfect high end shingles for your property—so you can enjoy all the benefits that luxury shingles bring, season after season.
If you have problems with your roof, you need to get them fixed immediately. Unpatched leaks can lead to extensive water damage. Damaged shingles aren’t just unsightly, they’re a roof breach waiting to happen. Ugly algae streaks can be signs of drainage issues. Regular maintenance is essential for preserving your roof’s durability, appearance, and ensuring warranty conditions are met.
When County Roofing does a roof repair job, we don’t just resolve the immediate problem. We check for structural issues and hidden damage as well. We give you an honest assessment of what we find, then let you decide on whether a roof replacement is necessary. When considering repairs or replacement, it’s important to look at wind resistance and choose roofing materials with a high class rating, such as Class 4, for superior storm protection and potential insurance benefits.
We’ll provide you with all necessary paperwork and make sure all permits are in order. County Roofing has over 35 years of experience dealing with finance agents and municipal officials.
Roof replacement is an enormous project, but we’ll work with you through every step of the way. We’ll explain CertainTeed’s installation instructions for your roof, and show you how we meet those requirements. We handle disposal of the old roof debris, and clean up the site thoroughly before we leave. When exploring roof replacement options, we can discuss premium choices like luxury shingles, as well as alternative high-end materials such as concrete tiles, natural slate tiles, and wood shingles, each offering unique benefits in durability, appearance, and longevity.
