Brevard County Reviews
Trusted Shingle Roof Installations in Brevard County
When investing in a new roof, homeowners naturally want to know about longevity and value. Due to Florida's intense UV rays, severe heat, and heavy rain, a standard 3-tab asphalt roof generally lasts about 10 to 15 years. However, by upgrading to high-quality, dimensional architectural shingles, you can safely protect your home for 15 to 25 years.
Shingles provide excellent protection at a lower upfront cost compared to metal or tile roofing, making them a highly cost-effective choice. Modern shingles also come in a massive variety of colors and textures. Our team can easily match your home’s exterior and ensure your new roof meets the strict HOA guidelines found in neighborhoods like Suntree and Viera.
Quick Comparison: 3-Tab vs. Architectural Asphalt Shingles
While both of these options are made of asphalt, they perform very differently when a Florida hurricane hits. Here is exactly how they compare:
| Feature | Standard 3-Tab Asphalt Shingles | Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles |
|---|---|---|
| Wind Resistance | Lower (Usually rated up to 60 mph) | Maximum (Rated up to 130+ mph) |
| Lifespan in Florida | 10 to 15 Years | 15 to 25+ Years |
| Appearance | Flat, single layer, basic look | Thick, multi-layered, premium look |
| Cost | Most Affordable | Slightly Higher Initial Investment |
| Best For | Strict budgets or quick repairs | Long-term value and storm protection |
Note: For homes on the Space Coast, Wescon Construction highly recommends architectural shingles due to their superior hurricane wind ratings.
Hurricane Protection and Wind Mitigation Benefits
Lowering yearly homeowners insurance premiums is a major priority for Florida residents. Installing a new architectural shingle roof with a peel-and-stick secondary water barrier gives your home excellent wind mitigation ratings, which almost always results in a lower insurance bill.
For maximum protection, our team is certified to install roofing systems that go above and beyond local municipality building codes. We use advanced installation methods and specific high-wind nailing patterns to give your roof the best chance of surviving a Class 4 hurricane. Meeting these strict storm codes can also help you qualify for the My Safe Florida Home program, unlocking massive insurance discounts.
How We Build A Roof That Lasts
A great shingle will fail if it is installed poorly. We never cut corners, and we never just nail new shingles over an old roof. Here is how our professional installers replace your roof:
Elite Manufacturer Warranties You Can Trust
If a roofing material fails prematurely, standard warranties usually only pay for the cost of the defective shingles. The homeowner is often stuck paying thousands of dollars out of pocket for the tear-off, disposal, and labor.
We do not believe in doing business that way. Because Wescon Construction is a certified installer for the best brands in the industry, we can offer extended warranties that protect your entire roofing system. If a material fails, our premium manufacturer warranties cover the cost of the new shingles, the dumpster fees, the tear-off, and the labor. Even if we retire tomorrow, your roof is fully backed directly by the manufacturer.
