The Strongest Asphalt Shingles in State College
The Best Asphalt Shingles in State College

In State College, your roof doesn’t just sit pretty—it works hard. Between heavy winter snow, whipping fall winds, and sudden spring storms, your home’s first line of defence needs to be strong, reliable, and long-lasting.
That’s why Stoltzfus Bros. proudly installs Owens Corning Duration® Shingles—a premium choice that offers strength where it counts most. If you’re in the market for a roof that doesn’t flinch at the forecast, you’ll want to know what makes these shingles a standout.
Built for Strength: Why Roofing Matters in Central PA
Central Pennsylvania weather isn’t always gentle. In State College and surrounding areas, we see:
- Snowfalls that dump inches overnight
- Wind gusts strong enough to shake the trees
- Freeze-thaw cycles that wear down building materials over time
Your roof has to handle it all—and poor-quality shingles just won’t cut it. If your roof is missing shingles, curling at the edges, or showing signs of wear, now’s the time to upgrade before the next storm hits.
So What Makes Duration® Shingles So Tough?
Not all shingles are created equal. What sets Owens Corning Duration® Shingles apart is their proprietary SureNail® Technology—a reinforced fabric strip built directly into the shingle’s nailing zone.
Here’s what that means for your home:
✔️ Nail-Down Strength That Doesn’t Budge
Duration® shingles offer 130 mph wind resistance when installed with the proper system and fasteners. That’s hurricane-level durability. In State College, where gusts can reach 60–70 mph during intense storms, that kind of holding power is peace of mind you can count on.
✔️ Built-in Reinforcement
The integrated fabric strip acts like a seatbelt for your shingles—locking them down more securely than traditional designs. That added layer of reinforcement dramatically reduces the risk of blow-offs during extreme weather.
✔️ Perfectly Aligned Installation
Thanks to clear nailing zones, Stoltzfus Bros. crews can ensure precision placement every time. That makes for a more consistent, professional finish—and a roof that performs better over time.
Long-Term Benefits: More Than Just Tough
Sure, strength matters. But homeowners in State College are also looking for:
🔥 Curb Appeal
Owens Corning Duration® shingles come in a wide range of bold, dimensional colors that complement any home style—from rustic colonials to modern farmhouses. Whether you prefer subtle shades like Driftwood or dramatic hues like Onyx Black, you’ll instantly boost your home’s curb appeal.
🌡️ Energy Efficiency
Some Duration® shingles are available with Cool Roof Technology, reflecting more of the sun’s rays and helping reduce attic heat buildup. That can translate into lower energy bills during hot Pennsylvania summers.
🛠️ A Roof That Lasts
With proper installation and ventilation (something we specialize in), your new roof can last decades. Duration® shingles are backed by industry-leading warranties—including options for lifetime protection when installed by a certified contractor like Stoltzfus Bros.
