Asphalt shingle is the secondary Anthem roof material — most common on accessory structures, second-story additions, casitas, and a percentage of original Country Club and Parkside builds. Modern architectural shingle systems are far better than the three-tab products from twenty years ago.
Three-tab is dead for new installs in Anthem — it doesn't carry the right wind ratings, and the lifecycle isn't competitive with architectural products. Architectural (laminated) shingle is what we install: thicker, dimensional, with much better wind performance and a 30–50 year manufacturer warranty depending on the system.
On Hillside, New River, and Desert Hills installations where wind and impact exposure is genuinely greater, we recommend impact-rated (IR) shingle systems and the manufacturer's enhanced-fastening starter and ridge package. The cost premium is small. The lifecycle improvement is meaningful.
GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, and CertainTeed Landmark are our most-installed systems. Each comes in palettes that work with the warm-tone Anthem stucco architecture.
