Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Edmond, OK for Every Style of Home
Mark Ferguson Roofing & Construction installs asphalt shingle roofing in Edmond, OK and the Oklahoma City metro, with GAF shingle lines and colors chosen to fit your home.
Signs Your Asphalt Shingles Are Wearing Out
Asphalt shingles deteriorate gradually, then fail quickly. Sun, wind and hail break down the surface a little each year until the shingle can no longer shed water. Spotting the early signs gives you time to plan a new roof instead of reacting to a leak.
Walk around the property and examine the roof from the yard. Then check the gutters and the attic for clues like these:
- Shingles that curl at the edges or cup in the middle
- Bald patches where the colored granules have worn away
- Piles of granules in the gutters or at the ends of downspouts
- Cracked, torn or missing tabs after a windy day
- Stains on the ceiling or daylight through the attic boards
- A roof that looks patchy, with faded and darker sections side by side
Our Asphalt Shingle Installation Process
A shingle roof is a system, not just the layer you see. Each step below the shingles matters as much as the shingles themselves.
-
Inspection and Measuring
We inspect the roof, the deck and the attic, then measure each slope. You get a written estimate that lists the materials and the work.
-
Shingle and Color Selection
We show you samples so you can see shingle lines and colors next to your brick, siding and trim. You choose the look before any work is scheduled.
-
Tear-Off and Deck Repair
The old shingles come off and the deck is checked board by board. Where your city requires a roofing permit, it is in place before work starts.
-
Install and Cleanup
New underlayment, flashing, vents and shingles go on to the maker's instructions. We clean the yard and driveway of nails and debris before we leave.
3-Tab vs Architectural Shingles
The debate over 3-tab vs architectural shingles comes down to build, look and lifespan. A 3-tab shingle is a single flat layer with two cutouts, which gives the roof an even, brick-like pattern. It is thinner and lighter, and it costs less up front.
These shingles are made by laminating two or more layers together. That extra layer makes them thicker and heavier, and it gives the roof a shadowed, dimensional look that resembles wood shake. Many homeowners also like the way the style hides small dips and flaws across a roof.
For most homes, a laminated shingle is the better long-term value. It handles wind and weather better than a single-layer shingle and adds curb appeal when it is time to sell. A 3-tab roof still makes sense for some budgets, a rental or a detached garage, and we will price both so you can compare.
Architectural Shingles for Oklahoma Weather
Dimensional shingles are the most common choice for asphalt shingle roofing in Edmond, OK, and the weather is a big reason why. Spring brings strong wind and hail, and summer brings long stretches of heat and sun. A thicker shingle simply has more material to give before it wears through.
Installation matters as much as the product. Laminated shingles have their own nailing zone, and nails placed outside it can leave the shingle open to wind lift. We follow the maker's nailing pattern on every course, because a good shingle put on the wrong way can still blow off.
Homeowners who want even more protection from hail can step up to a Class 4 rated shingle. Impact-resistant roofing uses shingles that passed the UL 2218 hail test, and they come in the same dimensional style.
GAF Shingles from a GAF Certified Roofer
GAF shingles are a familiar sight on homes across Oklahoma. As a GAF Certified Roofer, Mark Ferguson Roofing & Construction installs them as part of a full roofing system, from the underlayment to the ridge cap.
GAF offers several shingle lines, from standard architectural styles to designer profiles and impact rated options. Each line offers its own range of colors and textures. We help you match the line to your home and your budget, and we explain what sets one apart from the next in plain terms.
Using coordinated components from one manufacturer helps each layer perform together. The starter strip, the underlayment, the vents and the ridge shingles are designed as a set. That fit is part of what a full system offers over a mix of parts from different brands.
How to Pick Shingle Colors for Your Home
The color of a roof shapes the look of a house more than most people expect. The roof can take up a large share of what you see from the street, so the shade should work with your brick or stone, your siding and your trim.
Start with the permanent exterior materials. Brick, stone and the front door set the base, and the roof should complement them rather than compete. Warm browns and weathered woods pair well with red or tan brick, while grays and charcoals suit white, gray or blue siding.
Look at samples outside, in daylight, and from the curb. Colors look darker on a small swatch than on a full roof. If your home is in a neighborhood with a homeowners association, check its approved color list before you choose, so the project is not held up by a review.
What Affects the Cost of Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Edmond, OK
The price of a new shingle roof depends on your home and the choices you make. We give a written estimate after we inspect and measure, so the number reflects your roof and not a guess. These details shape the cost the most:
- The size of the roof and the number of slopes, valleys and dormers
- The pitch and how much safety gear the job needs
- How many old layers come off and the state of the deck
- The shingle line you choose, from 3-tab to designer styles
- New flashing, drip edge, vents and pipe boots
- Skylights, chimneys and other features to work around
Ask us to price more than one shingle line. Seeing the options side by side makes it easier to choose the right balance of look, strength and budget.

Asphalt Shingle Roofs Across the Oklahoma City Metro
Asphalt shingle roofing in Edmond, OK covers most of the homes we see, and the same holds true in the towns and counties around it. Older neighborhoods often still carry 3-tab roofs that are due for an upgrade, while newer homes need repairs or color matching on dimensional shingles. Detached garages and workshops on larger properties often benefit from matching shingles as well.
We install asphalt shingle roofs for homeowners in Oklahoma City, Logan County, Cleveland County and Lincoln County. Every homeowner gets the same samples to compare and the same free written estimate.
If the whole roof is past saving, roof replacement covers the full tear-off and new install. Gutters, vents and siding are part of our roofing and exterior services as well, so the whole exterior can be planned together.
Asphalt Shingle Questions from Edmond Homeowners
Are dimensional shingles worth the extra cost over 3-tab?
For most homes, yes. Laminated shingles are thicker, hold up better to wind and weather, and give the roof a dimensional look that adds curb appeal. Labor and tear-off are part of the price either way, so the shingle is only one piece of the total. A 3-tab shingle can still be a fair choice for a tight budget, a rental or an outbuilding.
Can new shingles match the rest of my roof after a repair?
Close, but rarely perfect. Shingles fade in the sun, and makers change their colors over time, so a new bundle may look a shade off from the old roof. We look for the nearest match in line and color. On a highly visible slope, replacing that whole face can give a cleaner, more even look.
Do dark shingle colors make my attic hotter?
Darker shingles absorb more sunlight than lighter ones, so the roof surface runs warmer on a sunny day. How much of that heat reaches your living space depends far more on attic airflow and insulation. Good roof ventilation lets hot air escape, so you can choose a color you like without much worry.
Can new shingles go over my old roof?
A second layer is sometimes allowed, but a full tear-off is the better choice for most homes. Removing the old shingles lets us inspect the deck, replace soft wood and install new underlayment and flashing. A layer over old shingles hides problems, adds weight and can shorten the life of the new roof.
What if my HOA has rules about shingle colors?
Many homeowners associations keep a list of approved roof colors or styles. Ask for the current list before you choose, and get any needed approval in writing before work starts. We can provide the shingle line and color name for your application, so the review goes smoothly and the project stays on schedule.
