In Narragansett, from Point Judith and Great Island to Pier-area neighborhoods and inland streets, roofs face some of the toughest coastal weather in the state. When you replace a roof here, the type of asphalt shingle you choose matters for both protection and appearance.

Most asphalt shingle roofs use one of three main shingle types:

• Three-tab shingles‚flat, basic shingles that are less expensive but offer less strength and visual depth.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles ‚ thicker, layered shingles that handle wind and storms better while adding more texture and richness to the roof.
• Luxury shingles‚ premium shingles with enhanced construction and profiles, designed for maximum durability and a high-end coastal look.

For Narragansett‚ ocean wind, salt air and storms, we almost never recommend three-tab shingles on new roofs. Architectural shingles are the standard we install on most homes, and luxury shingles are ideal if you want your roof to be a strong design feature facing the water or main roads. At your appointment, we will look at your home, talk about style and budget, and explain how each shingle category fits your situation.

You can explore these options on our Asphalt Shingles page and see how we build full systems on our Residential Roofing page. Our Instant Roof Estimate tool also uses satellite imagery of your Narragansett home to give you a close cost range for planning.
