When you're looking for the perfect blend of style, strength, and affordability, architectural asphalt shingles are a standout choice — and no one installs them better than Lianro Metal Roofs. With over 65 years of construction experience and 45 years in roofing, we help homeowners across Colorado Springs and South Denver upgrade their homes with architectural shingle systems that deliver more protection and visual appeal than basic three-tab shingles.
Architectural shingles, also known as dimensional or laminated shingles, are a high-end alternative to traditional 3-tab asphalt shingles. They are composed of multiple layers of asphalt material, laminated together to create a thicker, more durable, and visually appealing roofing system.
Unlike standard shingles that lie flat, architectural shingles are designed to mimic the look of cedar shake or slate, offering depth and richness to your roofline.
We specialize in installing high-quality IKO architectural shingles — one of the industry's most respected brands — known for their dimensional profiles, color variety, and excellent performance in Colorado's demanding climate.
At Lianro, we exclusively install IKO roofing systems because they offer premium quality, consistent performance, and design flexibility that's perfect for both replacements and new builds.
IKO's architectural shingles are designed with homeowners in mind — blending aesthetic value with long-term durability.
We provide architectural asphalt shingle installation across a wide range of home types, including:
Our in-house team installs IKO roofing systems on both sloped and steep-pitch roofs, using best practices for underlayment, flashing, valleys, and ventilation.
Colorado Springs is no stranger to hail, snow, wind, and intense sun — which means your roofing material needs to stand up to it all. IKO architectural shingles are well-suited for this environment thanks to their Class A fire rating, optional Class 4 impact resistance (select lines), and high performance in extreme temperatures.
Whether you're upgrading your home or building a new one, architectural shingles deliver the ideal combination of strength and style.
We follow a streamlined, proven process to ensure your architectural shingle roof is installed correctly and efficiently.
We assess the condition of your current roof or consult with you during the design phase of a new build. We'll recommend the best IKO shingles for your goals, architecture, and budget.
After confirming your material selection, we provide a written estimate and schedule your installation at a time that works for you. Financing options are available if needed.
Our crew removes any existing roofing materials, inspects the decking, and installs proper underlayment, drip edge, and ventilation components. Ice and water shield is applied in key areas for added protection.
We install your selected IKO architectural shingles with precision, using manufacturer-approved fastening patterns and high-strength adhesives for wind resistance.
Once the job is complete, we remove all debris and perform a final walkthrough with you to ensure satisfaction. We'll also review your warranty documentation and answer any care questions.
Compared to 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles are a significant upgrade in both function and appearance.

For homeowners looking to enhance their home's aesthetic and long-term value without the cost of tile or metal, architectural shingles are a smart investment.
IKO's shingle lines come in a wide variety of styles, including:
Color options range from neutral grays and browns to rich charcoal, forest green, and blended tones that add dimension to your roof.
We'll help you select a profile and color that complements your siding, stonework, trim, and architectural style.
Many homeowners use architectural shingles as a stepping stone toward even higher-end systems later on, such as stone-coated steel. Whether you're upgrading from worn-out 3-tabs or enhancing a newer home, architectural asphalt shingles provide noticeable value right away.
We also offer referral incentives for neighbors or friends you refer who install a new roof with us.

Architectural shingles, also called dimensional or laminated shingles, are a high-quality alternative to traditional 3-tab shingles. They're composed of multiple layers for added thickness, durability, and a more textured appearance. Architectural shingles are known for their longer lifespan, better wind resistance, and enhanced curb appeal.
With proper installation and maintenance, IKO architectural shingles typically last 25 to 30 years or more, depending on weather conditions, ventilation, and roof slope. They outlast 3-tab shingles by 10 to 15 years, making them a smart long-term investment.
We exclusively install IKO shingles because of their consistent performance in Colorado's climate. IKO's architectural shingle lines are built for wind, hail, and UV resistance, with rich color options and durable laminate construction. Their warranties and overall value make them ideal for homeowners looking to upgrade their roof without moving to premium metal or tile.
