In Wakefield and Peace Dale, with village streets, the Saugatucket River and nearby beaches, roofs live through coastal storms, winter snow and summer sun. When a roof is ready for replacement, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle helps keep your home protected and looking good downtown.

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

• Three-tab shingles, flat, older-style shingles that are basic in both cost and appearance.
• Architectural (dimensional) shingles, Äì thicker, layered shingles that perform better in storms 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.

For Wakefield and Peace Dale homes that see coastal weather and busy village conditions, we seldom recommend three-tab shingles on new roofs. Architectural shingles are the standard for most houses, while luxury shingles are a great option if you want a more distinctive roof profile. During your appointment, we will evaluate your home, talk through your goals and compare shingle types.

You can explore these categories 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 Wakefield or Peace Dale home to give you a close cost range for planning.
