In North Providence, from streets near Wenscott Reservoir to dense neighborhoods off Mineral Spring, roofs handle snow, rain, sun and wind in all four seasons. When a roof is ready for replacement, choosing the right asphalt shingle type is one of the most important decisions you will make.

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

• Three-tab shingles, basic, flat shingles that cost less but are not as strong or visually rich as newer designs.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles, thicker, layered shingles that perform better in storms and give the roof a more textured, dimensional look.
• Luxury shingles, premium shingles with heavier construction and distinctive profiles for maximum durability and a high-end appearance.

For North Providence homes, we rarely recommend three-tab shingles for a new installation. Architectural shingles are the standard choice for most roofs, while luxury shingles are ideal if you want a more distinctive look and upgraded performance. When we visit, we will evaluate your roof and explain how each shingle type would work on your home.
