In Little Compton, with its coastal views, farms and stone walls, roofs live in salt air, wind and strong sun. When you are planning a roof replacement, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle is important for both performance and the look of your home in the landscape.

Most residential asphalt roofs use one of these three shingle types:

• Three-tab shingles, basic, flat shingles that cost less up front but offer less strength and visual interest.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles, thicker, layered shingles that handle storms better and add more depth and texture to the roof.
• Luxury shingles, premium shingles designed for maximum durability and a distinctive, high-end appearance.

On Little Compton roofs that face coastal weather and open exposure, three-tab shingles are usually not the best long-term choice. Architectural shingles are the standard option for most homes, and luxury shingles are an excellent fit if you want your roof to be a real design feature. During your appointment, we will look at your setting, siding and trim, then talk through how each shingle type would perform and look on your home.
