It is the same story on most Winter Gardens streets. Where Winter Gardens buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.
Composition shingle is the most common covering in Winter Gardens and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV harm. In practice, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Winter Gardens roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer service life. In practice, mixing materials across a Winter Gardens roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly.
