In North Smithfield, with its villages, farms and wooded neighborhoods, roofs see snow, ice, wind, rain and summer heat. When a roof needs to be replaced, the type of asphalt shingle you choose will shape both how your home looks and how well it stands up over time.

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

• Three-tab shingles‚ are flat, traditional shingles that are more basic in cost and performance.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, layered shingles that handle storms better and create a richer, more textured look.
• Luxury shingles‚premium shingles with heavier construction and distinctive profiles, designed for maximum durability and a high-end appearance.

Because North Smithfield roofs see real New England weather, we rarely recommend three-tab shingles on new installations. Architectural shingles are the standard choice for most homes, and luxury shingles are a great option when you want extra performance and a roof that stands out. When we visit, we will look at your roof’s shape, surroundings and exposure, then help you compare the shingle types.

You can explore each category 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 Smithfield home to provide a close cost range for planning.
