Shingle Roof

Shingles are the most popular roofing choice in North America because they are affordable and versatile.

• Asphalt Shingles (Traditional 3-Tab): The most budget-friendly option, these are flat, thin shingles with a uniform look. They typically last 15 to 20 years and are the easiest to install and repair.

• Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles: A step up from 3-tab, these have multiple layers for a textured, 3D look that mimics wood shakes. They are more durable, have better wind resistance, and can last 25 to 30 years.

• Wood Shingles & Shakes: Usually made from cedar or redwood, these offer a high-end, rustic aesthetic and natural insulation. Shingles are machine-cut for a uniform look, while shakes are hand-split for a rougher texture. They require significant maintenance to prevent rot and are a higher fire risk.

• Slate Shingles: Made of natural stone, slate is the "forever" shingle, often lasting 50 to 100 years. It is fire-resistant and incredibly durable but very heavy and among the most expensive materials to install.
