The easiest roof for panels.
Asphalt shingle is one of the most cost-effective, solar-friendly roofs there is — mounting hardware is straightforward and well-proven. If panels are in your plans, the smart sequence is to replace an aging shingle roof first, so you don’t pay to remove and reinstall the array later. See solar-ready roofing for how we engineer the roof for a future array, or compare a full integrated system with the Tesla Solar Roof.

Common shingle questions.
What’s the difference between architectural and 3-tab shingles?
3-tab shingles are flat, uniform and the most economical. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, layered, and more durable with a richer look and longer typical lifespan. Most homeowners today choose architectural shingles for the added durability.
How long do asphalt shingles last in Los Angeles?
Lifespan depends on the shingle grade, ventilation, sun exposure and installation quality. Architectural shingles generally last longer than 3-tab. Good attic ventilation and proper installation matter as much as the shingle itself.
How much does a shingle roof cost in Los Angeles?
Asphalt shingle is usually the most cost-effective roof. Price depends on roof size, pitch, layers to tear off, decking repairs and shingle grade. We provide a written, itemized estimate after inspecting rather than a flat price.
Are there cool-roof or fire-rated shingles?
Yes. Many asphalt shingles are available in cool-roof (reflective) and Class A fire-rated products that suit California code and LA’s climate. Whether cool-roof requirements apply depends on the project and current code, which we confirm during the estimate.
Are asphalt shingles a good base for solar?
Yes. Asphalt shingle is one of the easiest, most cost-effective roofs to mount solar on. If you’re planning panels, replacing an aging shingle roof first avoids paying to remove and reinstall the array later.
