In Smithfield, from Georgiaville and Stillwater to neighborhoods near Bryant University, roofs see snow, ice, summer heat and heavy rain. When a roof is ready for replacement, choosing the right asphalt shingle type helps protect your home and sharpen its curb appeal.

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

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

Because Smithfield roofs see real New England weather, we rarely recommend three-tab shingles on new installations. Architectural shingles are the standard for most homes, while luxury shingles are worth considering if you want added performance and a more custom roof. When we visit, we will evaluate your roof, talk about your style and budget, and compare shingle types for your specific situation.

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