Types of Roofing

Asphalt shingles come in two styles: “3-tab” and “Architectural” (or dimensional).

Standard 3-tab asphalt shingles are the lowest cost, both to purchase and install. 3-tabs install quickly. Most houses with 3-tab shingles can be roofed in one day.
Architectural (dimensional) shingles are more expensive to purchase and install. They are becoming increasingly popular both for looks and durability.
Architectural shingles create a layered look. They tend to hide imperfections in roof decking.
