Why Architectural Shingles Are Orlando's Most Popular Roofing Choice
Architectural shingles are the most widely installed roofing material in Central Florida offering the best balance of performance, cost, aesthetics, and wind resistance for most Orlando homeowners. When properly selected and installed, they provide reliable protection through hurricane season, resist algae in Florida's humid climate, and deliver 20 to 30 years of service at an accessible price point.
What Are Architectural Shingles?
Architectural shingles — also called dimensional or laminate shingles are made from two layers of asphalt-bonded fiberglass matting, creating a thicker, heavier shingle with a three-dimensional appearance that mimics wood shake or slate at a fraction of the cost.
How Long Do They Last in Florida?
Quality architectural shingles installed correctly in Central Florida typically last 20 to 30 years. Florida's intense UV, high humidity, and annual storm activity reduce lifespan compared to northern states. Selecting the right product — algae-resistant, UV-stabilized, and properly wind-rated — maximizes what you get from your investment.
Types of Architectural Shingles We Install in Orlando
Not all architectural shingles are equal — especially in Florida. We specify products engineered for Central Florida's wind, UV, and humidity conditions. Here are the systems we install and when each makes sense.
160 MPH Wind-Rated Shingles.
Florida's Standard
Florida Building Code requires minimum 130 mph wind ratings in most of Orange and Seminole County. Bynum Roofing specifies 160 mph wind-rated shingles on every project providing meaningful margin above code minimums and maximum hurricane protection.
Algae-Resistant Shingles.
Essential for Florida
Black streaking from algae is common on Orlando roofs. Copper-infused granules in algae-resistant shingles inhibit growth and maintain surface appearance and integrity significantly longer. In Central Florida's climate, this isn't an upgrade it's a requirement.

Impact-Resistant Shingles.
For Tree Coverage
Modified asphalt formulation resists cracking and bruising from hail, falling branches, and debris. For homes in Winter Park, College Park, and other established neighborhoods with mature oak and pine canopies, impact-resistant shingles provide targeted protection — and may qualify for insurance discounts.
Designer & Dimensional Shingles
Premium Curb Appeal
Deeper shadow lines, more pronounced texture, and profiles that closely mimic natural wood shake or slate. Available in a wide range of colors and styles for homeowners who want enhanced visual impact alongside top-tier performance.

Architectural Shingles Benefits for Florida Homeowners
Five reasons why architectural shingles remain the most popular roofing choice in Central Florida — specific to Florida's climate, codes, and insurance market.
Algae & UV Resistance
Copper-infused granules resist algae growth for 10 to 25 years. UV-resistant granule coatings slow the degradation Florida's intense sun inflicts on unprotected asphalt — significantly extending functional life compared to entry-level products.
160 MPH Wind Resistance
Every shingle we install is rated for at least 160 mph wind resistance. The fastening pattern, starter strip, and ridge cap application all contribute to the system's overall wind performance. A properly installed shingle roof won't lose material in a typical hurricane wind event.
Hundreds of Colors & Styles
Available in hundreds of color combinations — from traditional charcoal and weathered wood to warmer blends that complement Florida's stucco and brick exteriors. Designer profiles offer deeper shadow lines for enhanced curb appeal.
Most Accessible Price Point
Architectural shingles offer the lowest upfront cost of any quality roofing material — starting around $10,000 installed for a standard Central Florida home. For homeowners who need to replace a roof within a defined budget without compromising on code compliance or wind resistance.
Manufacturer Warranties Up to 30 Years
Quality architectural shingles carry manufacturer warranties of 25 to 30 years on the material itself. Bynum Roofing provides a written workmanship warranty on every project — and we're here in Winter Park to honor it.
Potential Insurance Savings
Many Florida carriers offer premium discounts for new roofs meeting current Florida Building Code wind resistance requirements. Impact-resistant shingles may qualify for additional discounts. Ask your insurance agent before finalizing your material selection.
