In Johnston, from neighborhoods near Route 6 to quieter side streets and wooded lots, roofs stand through snow, ice, summer heat and strong wind. When a roof reaches the end of its life, deciding which asphalt shingle type to install is a key part of your project.

Most asphalt shingle roofs fall into three main categories:

• Three-tab shingles, flat, older-style shingles that are more affordable but do not offer the same strength or dimensional look as modern options.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles, thicker, layered shingles that perform better in storms and add more texture and depth to the roof.
• Luxury shingles, premium shingles with heavier construction and distinctive profiles, designed for high-end appearance and strong performance.

For Johnston homes that see real winter weather and storms, we seldom recommend three-tab shingles on new roofs. Architectural shingles are the standard choice for most houses, while luxury shingles are a great fit if you want added durability and a more custom roofline. When we visit, we will inspect your roof, review your goals and show you how each shingle type would perform in your neighborhood.

You can learn more about the different shingle types on our Asphalt Shingles page and see how they work within full systems on our Residential Roofing page. Our Instant Roof Estimate tool also uses satellite imagery of your Johnston home to give you a close cost range for planning.
