Architectural shingles built for Florida wind.
GAF, Owens Corning, TAMKO and Atlas lines, installed by a preferred contractor at preferred pricing, with the wind ratings our storms demand.
Shingles are still the smart default. The trick is which shingle, nailed how.
Most Bushnell roofs wear asphalt shingles, and for good reason: they deliver the best protection per dollar of any roof you can buy, they look right on Florida homes, and a properly installed architectural line shrugs off the wind that tears cheap roofs apart.
The difference between a 60 mph roof and a 130 mph roof is mostly not the shingle. It is the nailing pattern, the starter courses, the sealed edges and the underlayment beneath. We install to the manufacturer’s high-wind specification every time, which is also what keeps your material warranty intact when a storm tests it.
As a preferred installer for GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO and Atlas, we buy better and pass it along, and we know each line honestly: which colors hold up in our sun, which lines carry the wind ratings that matter, and which upgrades are worth it on your specific roof.
Know your options
Three grades of shingle, honestly compared.
We will tell you which one your roof and your plans actually justify.
- Three-tab shingles. The budget single-layer strip. Fine for sheds and rentals, thin for Florida wind.
- Architectural shingles. Laminated dual-layer lines like GAF Timberline and OC Duration. The Bushnell standard.
- Heavier wind-rated lines. TAMKO Titan and similar heavyweight shingles built for storm country.
- Luxury and designer lines. Slate and shake looks with maximum thickness, for homes that want the statement.
- Impact-rated options. Reinforced shingles some carriers reward with premium discounts.
- Full-system accessories. Ridge caps, starter strips and ventilation matched to the shingle line.
Why we keep recommending TAMKO Titan here.
A question we get weekly: which shingle for a Central Florida roof? For many homes the answer is TAMKO’s Titan line, a noticeably heavier architectural shingle engineered for wind. Weight matters in a storm. So does the adhesive seal, and Titan’s is built for exactly the weather that rolls through Sumter County every summer.
That said, we are not a one-shingle shop. GAF Timberline is the country’s best-selling shingle for good reason, Owens Corning Duration has a gripping nail zone we genuinely like, and Atlas and CertainTeed both bring strong lines at the right price points. The right answer depends on your roof’s pitch, exposure, color and budget.
Whichever line you choose, it goes on over new underlayment and flashing, to the high-wind nailing spec, under our 10-year workmanship warranty. The shingle brand gets the credit, but the install is what keeps it on your roof.

The Tippy Top standard
How every asphalt shingle roofing project runs, no exceptions.
Here is what the crew does on every job, one leak or a whole roof. None of it changes with the size of the invoice.
- Insured crews only. Everyone working your roof is covered by our liability and workers’ comp policies, and the company itself is a fully licensed Florida roofing contractor.
- The install is guaranteed, too. A manufacturer warranty means little if the roof was put on wrong. That is why every new roof and re-roof also gets our 10-year workmanship warranty, in writing.
- Inspected, then closed out. A county inspector signs off on every qualifying job before we call it finished, and the closed permit is what a buyer’s inspector or your insurer will ask to see.
- The price holds. Once you approve the written quote, that is your number. We do not reopen it halfway through the job or tack on charges at the end.
- Seen on the job. The owner is not too big to be seen. He checks in on every project, and a single lead keeps your job moving through to the final walkthrough.
- A clean site, every evening. Landscaping protected, debris hauled, and magnetic nail sweeps across the yard and driveway before we leave.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing questions, answered straight.
How long do asphalt shingles last in Central Florida?
Realistically, 20 to 30 years for architectural lines and 12 to 18 for three-tab, shorter than the same shingle up north because our UV and storm seasons work harder. Good attic ventilation and the occasional inspection push you toward the high end.
Which shingle brands do you install?
GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, TAMKO and Atlas, as a preferred installer. That status means better pricing, which we pass through, and access to the enhanced warranties each manufacturer reserves for certified installations.
Are architectural shingles worth it over three-tab?
In Florida, almost always. The laminated construction roughly doubles the wind resistance and adds years of life for a modest bump in cost. We install three-tab where it genuinely fits, mostly outbuildings, but we will not put it on a home without saying what you are giving up.
Can new shingles go over my old ones?
We do not do layovers. They hide the decking, void many warranties, trap heat that cooks the new shingle from below, and add weight the structure was not asked about. A tear-off costs a bit more up front and is better in every other way.
What color shingle is best for a Florida roof?
Lighter colors reflect more heat and can trim cooling costs, while dimensional darker lines can look sharper on some homes. Color is also an HOA question in some communities. We bring physical samples so you can see the real shingle on your real roof in daylight.
