Why Asphalt Roofing Fails Faster in North Texas Than Product Ratings Suggest
What Homeowners Miss When They Don't See the Drone Footage
Most asphalt shingle manufacturers rate their product for 25 to 30 years. In Lewisville, that timeline compresses. North Texas UV intensity and heat accelerate granule loss faster than cooler climates, and hail bruising shows up in patterns that homeowners don't see from the driveway. By the time you notice curling or missing shingles, the damage has been building for months—and your insurance claim window may have already closed.
Lee Construction captures asphalt damage on drone footage before the adjuster arrives, and shares it live with the homeowner during inspection. You see granule loss and hail bruising the same moment Joe does. No surprises at the insurance appointment, no manufactured damage claims, no waiting to understand what's actually wrong with your roof. The footage eliminates the trust gap that makes homeowners hesitate, and it gives you the documentation you need to move forward confidently with the claim process.
Asphalt Shingle and Shingle Roofing: Same Material, Different Search Terms
If you're searching for asphalt roofing or shingle roofing, you're looking for the same thing. Asphalt shingles are the dominant roofing material across Denton County, but not every homeowner knows the technical term. Some search for shingle roofing, others type asphalt roofing, and both groups need the same information: what the material costs per square, how long it lasts in North Texas, and whether a licensed roofer is required or if a handyman can handle it.
Lee Construction installs Class 3 asphalt shingles as the standard on every replacement, regardless of what the insurance payout covers. Class 3 means impact-resistant, which matters in a hail-active region like Lewisville. You're not being upsold—you're getting a material upgrade that holds up better against the next storm and qualifies you for premium discounts. The install process is the same whether you call it asphalt or shingle roofing, but the material quality isn't negotiable.

What Separates a Professional Asphalt Install from a Handyman Job
Asphalt roofing isn't complicated, but it's not a DIY or handyman project if you want the install to last and the insurance claim to hold up. The difference between a licensed contractor and an uninsured crew shows up in fastener placement, flashing detail, and whether the tear-off was done to deck level or left patchy.
