In Woonsocket, with its river views, mill buildings and dense neighborhoods, roofs see snow, ice, rain, wind and summer heat. When a roof reaches the end of its life, choosing the right type of asphalt shingle helps protect your home and improve its curb appeal.

Most asphalt shingle roofs use one of three shingle types:

• Three-tab shingles, flat, older-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.

For Woonsocket homes that see real New England weather and city conditions, we seldom recommend three-tab shingles on new installations. Architectural shingles are the standard for most houses, while luxury shingles are a great option when you want extra performance and a more distinctive roofline. When we visit, we will evaluate your roof, talk through your goals and 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 Woonsocket home to give you a close cost range for planning.
