The Standard: 3-Tab Asphalt Shingles

As the most traditional and cost-effective option, 3-tab shingles are a staple for many roofing contractors. Their single-layer construction and uniform appearance make them a straightforward choice for budget-conscious projects or rental properties. We ensure you have access to reliable 3-tab shingles that provide essential protection and meet project specifications without compromising on quality.

The Upgrade: Architectural (Laminate) Shingles

For contractors looking to offer clients enhanced durability and curb appeal, architectural shingles are the industry’s go-to choice. Their multi-layered, laminated construction creates a rich, dimensional look that elevates a home’s appearance. We stock a wide selection of these popular shingles in colors like Atlantic Blue and Dynasty Glacier. These shingles offer superior wind resistance and extended warranty coverage.
