In Pawtucket, with its mill buildings, riverfront and close-set neighborhoods, roofs take on snow, ice, rain, wind and city grime. When a roof is nearing the end of its life, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle is a big part of protecting your home.

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

• Three-tab shingles, flat, traditional shingles that are more basic in cost and appearance.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles, thicker, layered shingles that perform better in storms and add a richer, more dimensional look to the roof.
• Luxury shingles, premium shingles designed for maximum durability and a more custom, high-end appearance.

Because Pawtucket roofs see tough winters and busy city conditions, three-tab shingles are rarely the best choice for new installations. Architectural shingles are the standard for most homes, while luxury shingles are ideal if you want extra protection and more curb appeal. When we meet, we will inspect your roof, talk through your goals and show you how each shingle type compares.
