In West Warwick, with its mill villages and close-knit neighborhoods, roofs stand through snow, ice, rain, wind and summer heat. When a roof needs replacement, choosing the right asphalt shingle type helps protect your home and improve its curb appeal.

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

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

Because West Warwick roofs see real New England weather and busy village conditions, we seldom recommend three-tab shingles on new installations. Architectural shingles are the standard for most homes, while luxury shingles are ideal if you want extra performance and a more distinctive roofline. When we visit, we will evaluate your roof, discuss your goals and help you compare the shingle types.

You can explore these categories 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 West Warwick home to give you a close cost range for planning.
