Asphalt Shingles

Why Consider Asphalt Shingles for Your Metro Denver Home?

Asphalt shingles remain one of the most popular roofing materials for Colorado homes—and it’s not just because they’re affordable. When you live in a state known for intense sun, sudden hailstorms, heavy snow, and high-altitude wind events, you need a roofing solution that’s built for versatility, protection, and local conditions. Asphalt shingles check all those boxes and more.

Benefits of Asphalt Shingles

Built for Colorado’s Demanding Climate
Colorado weather is anything but predictable. In a single year, your roof may face:

Large hail impacts in spring and summer
Heavy snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles in winter
Intense UV radiation at high elevations
Wind gusts exceeding 100 mph along the Front Range

Asphalt shingles—especially Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant options—are engineered to perform in all of these conditions. Modern asphalt shingle systems are reinforced to resist cracking, tearing, and granule loss, helping your home stay protected year-round. For areas like Castle Rock, Parker, Littleton, and Highlands Ranch, where hailstorms are frequent, a Class 4-rated asphalt shingle can significantly reduce long-term maintenance and damage risk.

Cost-Effective Without Compromising Performance
Asphalt shingles offer an excellent balance of cost and durability. They are generally more affordable than standing seam metal or concrete tile, but they still offer decades of protection—especially when installed by a licensed, local contractor like Abraham Benson Roofing. This makes asphalt an ideal option for both budget-conscious homeowners and those planning to stay in their homes long-term.

In addition to lower material and labor costs, asphalt shingles are less expensive to repair or replace, which becomes critical after storms. That’s especially relevant in hail-prone regions where full-roof replacements may be necessary every 15–25 years.

Flexible Design Options to Suit Any Home
Today’s asphalt shingles are far from boring. They come in a wide range of:

Architectural styles that mimic wood shakes or slate
Colors that resist fading under the Colorado sun
Textured designs that add curb appeal and dimension

Whether you live in a modern new build in Lone Tree, a classic ranch-style home in Littleton, or a rustic cabin in Sedalia, asphalt shingles can be matched to your home’s architecture and surroundings. You don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics for protection.

May Qualify You for Insurance Discounts
One often-overlooked benefit is the potential for homeowner’s insurance savings. Many insurers in Colorado offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, which are tested to withstand hailstones up to 2 inches in diameter. If you’re replacing a storm-damaged roof, this can be a smart upgrade that pays off over time.

Compliant With Local Building Codes
Asphalt shingles meet or exceed building code requirements in most Colorado jurisdictions, including Arapahoe, Jefferson, Douglas, and El Paso Counties. In wildfire-prone areas, asphalt products rated with Class A fire resistance offer added peace of mind and may be required by local ordinances or HOA regulations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can’t speak highly enough of John Wood and Abraham Benson Roofing! John made the process so smooth and easy, and kept us in the loop every step of the way. John is honest and super knowledgeable and leads an efficient crew with meticulous attention to detail. Our new roof looks incredible and we are thrilled with the addition of the new attic fans. We were also very impressed with how well the crew cleaned up afterwards- our back porch was cleaner than it was when they arrived! I usually dread getting work done on the house because of all the run around and horror stories you hear, but working with John and AB Roofing was top notch and I’m so grateful for the easy experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working in insurance, many times i get approached by roofers wanting to make connections. Thats great and I am all for it.  I found John Wood and A-Benson through word of mouth and he has single handedly been the easiest, most transparent professional to work with. He and his team have delivered on MANY clients of mine and when the time came, I knew who to call for my own roof. He knows what he is doing, the job looks meticulous and he's quite possibly one the funniest guys around. Thanks for all your help with my clients and my own roof. You're the man!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words cannot express how impressed I am with John Wood and Abraham Benson Roofing.  Unfortunatley these days, integrity and maximum work ethic seems to be lacking in so many service and construction companies. I'm here to tell you that John places an utmost premium on what he expects from his crew, and most importantly, himslef.  If you are seeking and honest, hard-working, and supremely qualified roofing company... look no furhter.  I won't hesitate to refer John and his team to my friends, neighbors and clients.
