#3 tab shingles

Three-tab shingles are the devil. 😂

Yes, that’s a Waterboy reference — but there’s a real roofing point behind it.

Sitting on a roof in Liberty Hill, Texas, I’m talking about older three-tab shingles and why homeowners should understand their options before automatically replacing an aging roof with the same type of roofing system.

Three-tab shingles were common for decades, but today homeowners have access to architectural and impact-resistant shingles that may offer better durability, wind performance, appearance, and overall protection.

That doesn’t mean everyone needs the most expensive roof available.

It means that if you’re already investing in a roof replacement in Liberty Hill, Texas, it makes sense to understand what you have, what your upgrade options are, and where spending more actually improves the roofing system.

And remember: a roof is more than shingles. Underlayment, flashing, ventilation, accessories, penetrations, and installation quality all matter.

So yes…

Three-tab shingles are the devil. 😂

But the real message is simple: know your options before putting the same roofing system back.

Everything Under Your Roof — Guided Right.

March winds caused hidden roof damage across Round Rock.

Round Rock, Texas

March winds across Central Texas did more damage to roofs than most people realized at the time.

What is showing up now is patchy wind damage. One section of a roof looks fine. Another section has shingles that have lifted, creased, or lost their seal.

A big factor is the roof system.

A lot of homes in this area still have 3 tab shingles. Once the seal breaks on those, they do not handle wind the same. They are more vulnerable to lifting and failing in sections.

That is why the damage does not always look obvious or consistent.

There is an old saying that March winds bring April showers.

On a roof, it works like this.

March winds break the seal.

April rain exposes the problem.

That is when small issues turn into leaks.

If your home went through those March winds, it is worth knowing what condition your roof is actually in.
