Asphalt Composition (Fiberglass)
Shingles
If you are looking for a classic, rugged, or timeless look, composition shingles
may be the choice for you. Composition shingles have a fiberglass reinforcing
mat at the center. This mat is coated with asphalt and mineral fillers. The fillers
adhere to the fiberglass and the asphalt surrounds the structure, making it waterproof.
Its top surface is embedded with a layer of ceramic granules. Asphalt Composition
shingles offer multi-level protection and are durable, reliable and easy to maintain
throughout the life of the roof. They all come with a Class “A” fire rating and
have warranties available in 20 yr., 25 yr., and lifetime.
They can be separated into three categories: 3-Tab, Laminates/Dimensional and
Designer shingles.

3-Tab Shingles
20,
25 Year Manufacturers Warranty
The least expensive option is known as "3-Tab" shingles.
This type of roofing has been refined over the
years. It appears as a one layer product with
a distinct pattern of tabs. This pattern is caused
by vertical slots notched into the visible part
of each shingle, splitting the lower half of
the shingle into three tabs.

Laminates /
Dimensional
Shingles
Lifetime Limited Manufacturers Warranty
Laminates/Dimensional shingles also known as architectural
shingles, are created by bonding or laminating
two asphalt shingles together (doubling the material
thickness), giving them a distinct three-dimensional
appearance similar to that of wood shakes. They
are a more recent variant and superior to the basic
3-Tab. Laminates have become the common choice
in composition roofing, are considered more attractive,
are heavier in weight, and have longer life spans.

Designer Shingles
Lifetime Limited Manufacturers Warranty
Most shingle manufacturers produce a line of
designer shingles that offer the homeowner a
variety of more sophisticated and unique design
options. Typically, designer shingles are heavy
weight, multi-layer laminates that provide deeper
shadow lines, richer texture, and are physically
larger than standard Laminates. Some are also
made to simulate more expensive roofing materials
like slate.

Cal-Vintage Roofing is proud
to install asphalt composition
shingles from only the highest-quality manufacturers such
as CertainTeed, GAF and Owens Corning. We are also
certified contractors for those leading manufacturers.
When your roof is on the line-only the best will do!
*Roofing manufacturers will not warrant their products
unless they are applied as part of a complete roof
system-
- LEAK PROTECTION: Ice shield or weather guard.
We install ice shield at all pipe penetration points. It
provides exceptional protection against extreme weather.
- DECK PROTECTION: Felt paper is applied directly
to your roof decking, for optimal moisture protection.
- QUALITY SHINGLES: We only install the top lines
from the top brand name shingle companies.
- PROPER VENTILATION:
It is important to have proper ventilation to remove
excessive heat and moisture from your attic, that
can raise your energy bill and will
compromise the longevity of your shingles.
- RIGDE CAPPING: This is the final seal on your roof
that protects it at the ridge and hips; also to give
it that final high definition appeal.
Working in unison, these elements can provide maximum
performance and efficiency. Shingles by themselves
may look nice, but without considering the whole package,
you could be looking at major roof or attic problems
down the road.
