Best Roofing Shingles for Texas Homes

With intense heat, heavy snow, hail, and strong winds that can even feel like a tornado, all in the same year, or the worst cases, all in the same day or week; yep, that's how we live in Texas! The weather may not be ideal, but thankfully, many helpful people and companies are ready to help you reduce the negative effects of severe conditions.

As a proud Texan company, Elevation Roofing & Restoration is committed to helping residential and commercial property owners across the state. Roofs in Texas are exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures, which can cause shingles to deteriorate quickly. That’s why Texans need strong roofing materials that look good and can withstand excessive heat.

When it comes to Texas homes, architectural asphalt shingles and metal shingles are the best roofing choices because they’re built to endure extreme heat, hail, wind, and rain with proper care and maintenance.

Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Designed with UV-reflective granules to minimize heat absorption, keeping your attic and living space cooler while extending the life of your roof.
Better than traditional 3-tab shingles. Many are rated to withstand winds of up to 130 mph or more.
Affordable, low-maintenance, and can last 20–30 years. They offer solid protection at a reasonable price.

Metal Shingles
Many metal shingles feature special reflective coatings that enhance heat resistance, making them one of the most energy-efficient roofing choices.
Interlocking design makes them incredibly resistant to wind. When properly installed, they’re among the best options for areas prone to high-speed gusts.
While they cost more upfront, their durability (lasting 40–70 years) and energy-saving benefits make them a smart long-term investment.

*Both asphalt and metal shingles are designed to efficiently channel water away, right where it belongs.
