In Central Falls, where homes sit close together along busy streets, a roof has to handle New England weather while still looking neat and well-kept from the sidewalk. That starts with choosing the right type of asphalt shingle for your home‚ not just the right color.

Most asphalt shingle roofs fall into three main types:

• Three-tab shingles, older, flat-style shingles. They are budget-friendly but not as strong or visually interesting as newer designs.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles, thicker shingles with a layered, dimensional profile, better wind performance and improved curb appeal.
• Luxury shingles, premium shingles built for maximum durability and an upgraded look, often used when homeowners want their roof to really elevate the home‚Äôs appearance.

Because Central Falls roofs see snow, ice, heavy rain and summer heat, we rarely suggest three-tab shingles on new installations. Architectural shingles are the practical standard for most city homes, and luxury shingles are ideal if you want stronger performance and a more custom look. During your visit, we will inspect your roof, talk about your budget and show you how each shingle type would affect both appearance and long-term durability.
