In Lincoln, from Limerock and Albion to neighborhoods near Lincoln Woods, roofs see snow, ice, rain and summer humidity. When a roof needs replacement, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle helps protect your home and update its curb appeal.

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

• Three-tab shingles, basic, flat shingles that are less expensive but also less durable and less dimensional.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles, thicker, layered shingles that perform better in storms and create a more attractive, textured roof.
• Luxury shingles, premium shingles with heavier construction and unique profiles for maximum durability and a high-end look.

Because Lincoln sees real New England weather, we seldom recommend new three-tab installations today. Architectural shingles are the standard choice for most homes, providing strong performance and good appearance. Luxury shingles are a great option when you want extra protection and a more custom roofline. When we visit, we will inspect your roof, talk through your preferences and show you how each shingle type fits your home.

You can learn more about each category on our Asphalt Shingles page and see how shingles fit into full roof systems on our Residential Roofing page. Our Instant Roof Estimate tool also uses satellite imagery of your Lincoln home to provide a close cost range for planning.
