What is a Composition Roof?
Composition roofs are typically made from a fiberglass mat base layered with asphalt and topped with mineral granules. These shingles are manufactured in a range of styles, including three-tab, architectural, and designer varieties, allowing for aesthetic flexibility while offering protection and durability. Here are some Benefits of composition roofs:
Affordable upfront and long-term maintenance costs
Class A fire resistance (with fiberglass base)
Wind resistance up to 130 mph (with proper installation)
Wide color and style variety to match any home
15–30+ year life expectancy depending on grade
This roofing type is ideal for the Rio Grande Valley's mix of sun, wind, and rain. Most homeowners opt for laminated architectural shingles for their balance of performance and curb appeal. For more details about asphalt alternatives, visit asphalt shingle roof.
