In North Kingstown, from Quonset and Post Road to Saunderstown and Wickford villages, roofs see coastal wind, salt air, snow and heat. When your roof is due for replacement, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle helps protect your home and keep it looking sharp.

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

• Three-tab shingles‚older, flat shingles that keep costs down but offer less strength and visual interest.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles ‚a thicker, layered shingles that handle storms better and give the roof a richer, more dimensional appearance.
• Luxury shingles‚ premium shingles with enhanced construction and unique profiles for maximum durability and a high-end look.

For North Kingstown‚a mix of coastal and inland weather, we rarely recommend three-tab shingles on new roofs. Architectural shingles are the standard for most homes, and luxury shingles are a good choice when you want extra protection and a more custom look. During your appointment, we will inspect your roof, talk through your goals and show you how each shingle type would perform over time.

You can read more about each type on our Asphalt Shingles page and see how shingles fit into complete systems on our Residential Roofing page. Our Instant Roof Estimate tool also uses satellite imagery of your North Kingstown home to give you a close cost range for planning.
