Architectural vs 3-Tab Shingles: Which Is Best for Indiana?

30-year architectural shingles last 25–30 years in Central Indiana and carry a 110–130 mph wind rating. 3-tab shingles last 15–20 years with a 60–70 mph wind rating. Architectural cost: $4.50–$7.50 per sq ft installed; 3-tab: $3.50–$5.50.

Architectural is almost always the right choice for Hendricks County homes given Indiana hail and wind. Rick's Roofing installs only 30-year Owens Corning architectural shingles. Call 317-223-3972.
