Certified Installation
The right shingle. Installed right.
Asphalt shingles are the most-installed roofing material in Nassau County, and for good reason. They offer the right balance of durability, appearance, affordability, and wind resistance for Florida's climate when properly specified and installed. LePierre Roofing is a GAF Elite Preferred and Atlas Preferred contractor — certifications that reflect our training in these specific systems and give our customers access to manufacturer warranties that are not available from non-certified contractors. We have been installing asphalt shingle roofs in Nassau County since 1984.
Know What You're Buying
Why Asphalt Shingle Selection Matters More Than You Think
Not All Shingles Perform the Same in Florida
The asphalt shingle market covers a wide range of quality, from basic 3-tab shingles with limited wind ratings to architectural and designer shingles with Class H designations and 130 mph or higher wind resistance. In Nassau County, the difference between these products is not academic — it is the difference between a roof that survives a strong storm and one that does not. We explain the trade-offs honestly so you can make the right choice for your home and budget.
Installation Quality Changes Everything
The best shingle installed incorrectly performs like a cheap shingle installed correctly. Proper starter strip placement, correct nail patterns, the right underlayment system, and proper flashing at every penetration point are what separate a roof that lasts from one that fails early.
What We Install
Shingle Systems We Install
GAF Timberline Systems
The most-installed shingle in North America for good reason. GAF Timberline HDZ offers LayerLock technology for wind resistance up to 130 mph, StainGuard Plus algae resistance critical in Florida's humid climate, and Duragrip adhesive. We also install Timberline CS — LeBaron and Designer series — for homeowners who want a premium architectural profile.
Atlas Pinnacle and StormMaster Systems
Atlas StormMaster Shake and Pinnacle Pristine are Class 4 impact-resistant shingles — an important consideration for hail-prone Florida. They carry one of the highest wind resistance ratings available and are appropriate for both standard replacements and post-storm replacement situations.
Architectural and Designer Profiles
For homeowners who want a premium aesthetic as well as superior performance, we install architectural shingles with wood shake, slate, and designer profiles — delivering the look of premium materials with the durability and warranty coverage of a manufacturer-certified installation.
Underlayment and Complete System Installation
An asphalt shingle roof is a system — not just the shingles. Proper underlayment, starter strips, ridge cap, valley material, and flashing at every penetration point are what make a shingle installation perform as designed. We install complete systems, not just shingles.

What Nassau County Homeowners Say
Common Questions
Frequently asked
questions
What is the difference between 3-tab and architectural asphalt shingles?
3-tab shingles are a single layer of asphalt and granules with a flat profile and lower wind rating. Architectural (dimensional) shingles have multiple bonded layers, a textured profile, and significantly higher wind resistance — important in Nassau County. We recommend architectural shingles for all replacements in this area.
How long do asphalt shingles last in Florida?
In Nassau County's conditions — intense UV, high humidity, hurricane exposure — quality architectural shingles installed correctly typically last 20 to 30 years. Budget shingles and installation quality are the primary factors that reduce that lifespan. Our GAF and Atlas installations come with manufacturer warranties that reflect realistic performance expectations.
What color asphalt shingles are best for a Florida home?
Lighter colors reflect more heat and reduce cooling costs — which matters in Florida's climate. However, the specific color choice involves your home's architecture, neighborhood aesthetics, and personal preference. We can show you samples and discuss the practical trade-offs during your estimate appointment.
What is a GAF Elite Preferred Contractor and why does it matter?
GAF Elite Preferred is one of the highest certification levels GAF awards to roofing contractors. It requires demonstrated installation quality, ongoing training in GAF's systems, and a verified track record. It matters because our customers gain access to enhanced warranty programs — including weather-related coverage and labor warranties — that are only available through Elite Preferred contractors.
Can I get a shingle roof that qualifies for a homeowner's insurance discount in Florida?
Yes. Impact-resistant shingles — like the Atlas StormMaster Shake Class 4 shingles we install — can qualify for premium discounts on Florida homeowner's insurance policies. Ask about this option during your estimate and check with your insurer for specific discount amounts.
