In West Greenwich, with its wooded lots, rolling land and quiet roads, roofs see snow, wind, rain and long sunny stretches. When it is time for a new roof, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle is an important part of protecting your home for the long term.

Most asphalt shingle roofs are built with one of three 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 perform better in 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.

For West Greenwich homes that see real New England weather, we rarely recommend three-tab shingles on new roofs. Architectural shingles are the standard for most houses, and luxury shingles are a strong option when you want extra performance and a more custom roofline. When we visit, we will inspect your roof, talk through your goals and explain how each shingle type would perform in your setting.
