Roofing contractor shingles
There are several types of Asphalt Shingles with multiple variants and specialty shingles. We will attempt to make sense of your choices here. Let’s start with the basics…
3-Tab Roof Shingles
These are the “old school” shingles. They are the basic shingle that has been used for years recognizable and named for the 3 notched tabs on the visible lower edge of the shingle.
Dimensional/Architectural shingles
These are also Asphalt shingles, but unlike 3-Tab they are constructed in layers to give depth to the color and overall appearance. They are heavier and thus hold up to stronger winds than traditional shingles. It gives them the appearance of slate.
Dimensional Pro/Max Def Shingles
Dimensional Pro, sometimes called Max Definition Shingles, are Asphalt shingles with Maximum Definition coloring and a heavier weight for even more wind resistance.
Luxury shingles
