What Are The Three Main Types of Shingles
3-Tab Shingles
Also commonly referred to as strip shingles or strips are the original and most basic asphalt shingles. These flat, single-layered shingles offer a slate-like look. Seeing that they are only a single layer, they usually weigh and cost less than other asphalt shingles. For decades 3-tab shingles dominated the market across the U.S. However, today, they are most often used by home builders that manufacture inexpensive cookie-cutter types of residential homes or replace strip shingles already on the roof. The primary motivating factor in going with 3-tab or strip shingles is a low bottom line.
Dimensional Shingles
Also known as architectural or laminate shingles, dimensional shingles are currently the most popular asphalt shingle in Boynton Beach and around the country. These shingles are made with two or more layers of asphalt. This multi-layer approach creates a thicker and richer multi-dimensional look. Dimensional shingles strive for a more elegant and natural slate look. Usually, this type of shingle has improved warranty protection.
Luxury Shingles
Luxury shingles are the best-laminated shingles you can buy, offering more pleasing aesthetics and functionality superior to the popular dimensional shingles. Aside from being known as the high-end of the asphalt shingle world, by providing better protection against the elements, luxury shingles present the highest quality in coloration and dimensionality. For homeowners seeking the old-world wood shake or quarried slate roofing look but with asphalt shingles, then definitely ask about luxury shingles when speaking with your roofing contractor!
Advantages & Disadvantages of Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Advantages:
Low Cost
- The reality is, for most people, the price point is the most significant factor. So with asphalt being the cheapest of roofing materials that still offer the durability of up to 20 years, it's no wonder so many people opt for asphalt.
Practical
- They do the job! Quite simply, an asphalt roof will provide a dependable roofing system that will keep the house safe and dry. Sure, they don't last as long as a tile or metal roof, but they do the job long enough and cost far less money.
Variety
- The coloration options of asphalt shingle roofs is quite expansive. Architectural and luxury asphalt shingles, in conjunction with a large number of colors available, allow for some creative looking schemes.
Disadvantages:
Performance In Extreme Weather
- The unfortunate truth is that many asphalt shingle roofs in Boynton Beach or Lake Worth never live to see that 20-year lifespan. This lifespan will be cut short due to the extreme weather we have in this part of south Florida. Excessive heat and hurricanes can wreak havoc on a shingle roof. The intense heat can cause the shingles to fade and crack.
There needn't be too much explanation as to the potential damage a hurricane can bring with it. But between the extreme wind and downpour of rain, asphalt shingles can take a lot of damage. The positive here for Florida homeowners is that insurance should cover the cost of a new asphalt shingle roof installation
if there is damage due to the hurricane.
Not Eco Friendly
- Asphalt is a semi-solid form of petroleum that is not good for the natural world. Besides, there is a substantial amount of energy wasted when creating asphalt shingles and produces harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Other roofs such as metal are 100% recyclable and far more environmentally friendly.
Lack of Curb Appeal
- Not everyone cares about how stylish or eye-popping the roof over their head is as long as it functions properly. However, for those who want that extra value, the reality is in Boynton Beach, FL tile roofs are far more aesthetically pleasing.
Look for a Boynton Beach Asphalt Shingle Roof Contractor with the following qualifications:
- Is licensed, bonded, and ensured.
- Experienced in working with insurance companies on damage claims.
- Has multiple financing options available.
- Offer free roof replacement & repair estimates with competitive & affordable pricing!
- Experienced installing the type of tile roof you want.
- Has the in-depth knowledge of tile-handling and installation that comes from years of experience.

BOYNTON BEACH & LAKE WORTH · UPDATED JULY 2026
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Boynton Beach & Lake Worth (2026)
The short answer: A new architectural (dimensional) shingle roof in Boynton Beach runs about $5–$9 per square foot installed — roughly $8,500–$15,000 for a typical 2,000 sq ft home, and less than half the cost of tile. It's the most common roof type in western Boynton and Lake Worth. In Palm Beach County's high-wind zone (150–170 mph design winds), shingles must carry Florida Product Approval, be rated for high wind, and be installed with six nails per shingle plus a sealed starter course. A quality architectural shingle roof lasts 15–25 years here.

Why Shingle Is So Common in Boynton Beach & Lake Worth
- Western Boynton and Lake Worth have far more shingle stock than the tile-heavy coastal Broward communities. Many single-family neighborhoods and HOAs here are built and re-roofed in architectural shingle.
- It's the affordability play: about half the cost of tile, faster install (2–4 days vs 5–10 for tile), and a huge color/style range that satisfies most HOA approval lists.
- The tradeoff is lifespan — shingle lasts 15–25 years vs. 40–50 for tile — which is exactly the honest repair-vs-replace conversation we're built for.
Architectural vs. 3-Tab Shingle
Bottom line: essentially every reputable Boynton re-roof today uses architectural shingle — it's what meets the county's wind requirements. If a quote specifies 3-tab, ask why.
What Palm Beach County's Wind Code Means for Your Shingle Roof
- Boynton Beach & Lake Worth are in Palm Beach County's high-wind / wind-borne-debris region — not the HVHZ (that's Miami-Dade + Broward only). Design winds run 150–170 mph(ASCE 7-22).
- Shingles must carry a Florida Product Approval (FL#) and be rated for the local wind speed.
- Installation to code means six nails per shingle(not four), a sealed starter strip at all eaves and rakes, proper nailing-zone placement, and a secondary water barrier / peel-and-stick underlayment in many cases.
- The wood deck is re-nailed to current code(ring-shank) during tear-off — a code requirement, included in any legitimate quote.
- Permitted through the City of Boynton Beach Building Division with a signed Re-Roof Affidavit(Lake Worth Beach has its own).
What a Shingle Roof Costs in Boynton Beach (2026)
- Architectural shingle: $5–$9 / sq ft installed → ~$8,500–$15,000 for a typical 2,000 sq ft home (tear-off, new underlayment, deck re-nail, disposal, permit included).
- Larger/complex roofs (steep pitch, many valleys/dormers): higher end.
- Still less than half the cost of a comparable tile roof — see the full 2026 Boynton Beach roof cost guide and the tile roof guide.
How Long Does a Shingle Roof Last in South Florida?
- Architectural shingle: 15–25 years in our climate — sun, heat, humidity and salt air shorten shingle life vs. northern states.
- What shortens it: poor attic ventilation, trapped moisture, algae/mildew in shaded areas, and storm damage.
- What extends it: correct 6-nail install, good ventilation (ridge + soffit vents), and semi-annual inspections.
Shingle Roofs & Insurance (Palm Beach)
- Age matters more for shingle: Citizens requires roof-replacement documentation for shingle roofs over 25 years(vs. 50 for tile/metal/concrete) — so shingle owners hit insurance scrutiny sooner.
- 15-year rule still applies: a 15+ yr roof entitles you to an inspection before an insurer can drop you on age; 5+ yrs useful life means age alone can't be the reason.
- Citizens is cutting Palm Beach County rates ~11.9% on average at Spring 2026 renewals.
- A wind-mitigation inspection (~$100) after a code-compliant re-roof can cut the windstorm premium 25–45% — a new 6-nail shingle roof scores well on it.
- Standard compliant line: we document condition thoroughly; filing a claim is always your decision; policy terms control coverage.
Repair or Replace? (shingle-specific)
- A few cracked, curled, or missing shingles after a storm → often a spot repair ($500–$2,500).
- Widespread granule loss (bald spots, granules in the gutter), multiple leaks, or a roof past ~20 years → replacement territory.
- A free inspection tells you which — before anyone sells you a full tear-off you may not need yet.
Shingle Roof FAQ
How much does a shingle roof cost in Boynton Beach?
Architectural shingle runs $5–$9 per square foot installed — roughly $8,500–$15,000 for a typical 2,000 sq ft home, including tear-off, new underlayment, deck re-nail, disposal and permit.
Do shingles meet Palm Beach County's wind code?
Yes — architectural shingles with Florida Product Approval, rated for high wind and installed with six nails per shingle and a sealed starter course, meet the county's wind requirements. 3-tab shingles generally do not qualify for new re-roofs here.
How long does a shingle roof last here?
Architectural shingle lasts about 15–25 years in South Florida. Good attic ventilation, a correct 6-nail install and semi-annual inspections push it toward the top of that range.
Shingle or tile — which should I choose in Boynton?
It's a cost-vs-lifespan tradeoff: shingle costs less than half as much and installs faster, but tile lasts 40–50 years vs. 15–25. Western Boynton and Lake Worth skew shingle. Compare in our tile roof guide and 2026 cost guide.
Do I need a permit to replace a shingle roof in Boynton Beach?
Yes — through the City of Boynton Beach Building Division with a signed Re-Roof Affidavit (Lake Worth Beach permits through its own department). Your licensed contractor pulls it.
