Cool-rated, recycled-content architectural shingles that deliver classic beauty with modern sustainability.
Asphalt shingles remain America's most popular roofing material — and for good reason. They offer excellent protection, beautiful aesthetics, and competitive pricing. At Nashville Roof Master, we've curated a selection of eco-friendly shingle options that deliver all the traditional benefits while incorporating recycled content, cool-roof technology, and enhanced longevity that set them apart from conventional products.
Our flagship recommendation for Nashville homes is the GAF Timberline Cool Series — an architectural shingle that combines recycled content manufacturing with highly reflective granules that meet Energy Star requirements. These shingles reduce attic temperatures by up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit compared to standard dark shingles, directly lowering your air conditioning costs during Nashville's brutal summer months. Available in 20+ colors, they offer the same rich, dimensional appearance as premium architectural shingles.
For homeowners seeking maximum sustainability, we also offer recycled rubber composite shingles made from post-consumer tire rubber and recycled plastic. These innovative products look identical to natural slate at a fraction of the weight and cost, last 50+ years, and represent the ultimate in material recycling. They're impact-resistant, fire-resistant, and available in a range of natural stone colors.
Every shingle installation at Nashville Roof Master includes proper ventilation upgrades, drip edge flashing, ice and water shield in valleys and penetrations, and our signature zero-waste cleanup process. We recycle 95%+ of removed shingles through our certified partners, where they're processed into road paving material — giving your old roof a second life rather than a landfill grave.
Reflective granules reduce heat absorption by up to 40%, keeping your attic cooler and your energy bills lower throughout Nashville's long summers.
Our eco-shingles contain 15-100% recycled materials — from recycled asphalt granules to post-consumer rubber composite formulations.
As a top 2% GAF contractor, we offer exclusive warranties including the Golden Pledge — 25 years of 100% coverage on both materials and labor.

Old shingles sent to recycling partners. Your property restored to pre-project condition.
The sustainability of shingle roofing has improved dramatically in recent years. Major manufacturers including GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed have invested heavily in recycled content, cool-roof formulations, and shingle recycling programs. Today's eco-friendly shingles represent a genuine step forward for an industry that historically sent 10+ million tons of waste to landfills annually.
Cool roof shingle technology is particularly impactful in Nashville's climate. Standard dark shingles can reach surface temperatures of 150-170 degrees Fahrenheit on summer days, superheating your attic and forcing your air conditioner to work overtime. Cool-rated shingles with reflective granules stay 50-60 degrees cooler, reducing attic temperatures by 20+ degrees and cutting cooling energy use by 15-22%.
Our shingle recycling program is a critical part of our sustainability commitment. Instead of sending removed shingles to landfill, we partner with certified facilities that grind them into aggregate for road paving — a process that saves virgin petroleum resources and reduces the carbon footprint of road construction. We provide recycling certificates for every project, documenting exactly how much material was diverted from landfill.

Call (555) 407-0007 Request EstimateArchitectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, more durable, and create a textured appearance that mimics natural materials. They last 30-50 years vs 15-20 for 3-tab. We recommend architectural shingles for their superior longevity and sustainability.
Cool-rated architectural shingles typically last 30-50 years. Recycled rubber composite shingles last 50+ years. Both significantly outperform standard 3-tab shingles at 15-20 years.
No. Modern cool-roof technology uses specially engineered granules that reflect infrared solar energy regardless of visible color. You can choose dark browns, charcoals, and blacks that still meet Energy Star reflectivity requirements.
