In Tiverton, with its river views, farms and village streets, roofs stand in coastal wind, fog, salt air and bright sun. When it is time to replace a roof, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle helps protect your home and match the look of the area.

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

• Three-tab shingles, basic, flat shingles that are more affordable but offer less strength and visual depth.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles, thicker, layered shingles that stand up better to storms and give the roof a richer, more textured appearance.
• Luxury shingles, premium shingles with heavier construction and distinctive profiles for maximum durability and a high-end look.

Because Tiverton roofs face coastal influences and New England weather, we rarely recommend three-tab shingles on new installations. Architectural shingles are the standard for most homes, and luxury shingles are a strong option when you want your roof to be a bigger design feature. When we visit, we will look at your setting, review your goals and help you compare shingle types.

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