Architectural Shingles
in Massachusetts

Architectural shingles are the roof we install most often in Massachusetts. They are thicker than three-tab shingles, carry a longer manufacturer warranty, and the layered pattern gives the roof depth from the street.

Every architectural shingle roof we install starts with a full tear-off, plywood repair where needed, ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment, and a ridge vent so the attic can breathe.

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions

Architectural shingles are laminated in two layers, so they are heavier, last longer and have a dimensional look. Three-tab shingles are a single flat layer with a shorter warranty. We install architectural shingles on nearly every job.

Manufacturers rate them for 30 years to lifetime limited. In practice, attic ventilation and ice dam protection matter as much as the shingle, which is why both are part of every install.

The shingles carry the manufacturer warranty and we stand behind our installation. The warranty terms are written on the estimate.
