In East Greenwich, from Main Street and Hill & Harbor to neighborhoods overlooking the bay, roofs play a big role in curb appeal. When it is time for a new roof, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle can help your home look its best and handle Rhode Island weather.

Most residential asphalt roofs are built with one of three shingle types:

• Three-tab shingles‚ the older, flat shingle style. They cost less but offer less strength and visual depth than newer designs.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles‚ thicker, layered shingles that offer better performance in wind and storms and a richer appearance on the roof.
• Luxury shingles‚ premium shingles with stronger construction and distinctive profiles for homeowners who want a truly elevated roof look.

With East Greenwich‚ combination of coastal weather and upscale neighborhoods, we very rarely recommend three-tab shingles on new installations. Architectural shingles are the standard for most homes, delivering strong performance and good curb appeal. Luxury shingles are an excellent choice if you want your roof to make more of a design statement. During your appointment, we will talk about your goals, show you sample boards and help you weigh performance, style and budget.
