Organic

Organic asphalt shingles are a common type of shingle that our roof replacement experts install. These are made up of a mixture of organic materials such as paper, cellulose and wood that is then combined with asphalt. These are a great option for waterproofing your home or business as they contain more asphalt than their fiberglass counterparts. Should you be interested in protecting your property from the harsh rainstorms that can hit our community, we ask that you reach out to learn more about this material.  
Fiberglass
Fiberglass asphalt shingles have a base layer of fiberglass which is coated with asphalt. These are a fantastic fire-resistant and water-resistant roofing option. These are a more popular asphalt shingle option as they are not known to have any potential health risks (such as asbestos) and are great against the strong winds that are known to blow throughout the area. 
Architectural Or 3-Tab
You can choose between two asphalt shingle options for your home, either architectural or 3-tab. 3-tab shingles are your standard flat shingle and use less material then their architectural counterparts. 3-tab is the most popular type of asphalt shingle for roof replacements but is thinner and does not last as long as architectural shingles do. 

Architectural shingles are thicker and stronger, standing up to all types of weather and have a more appealing look to them. They can also last for many more years than 3-tab shingles when properly maintained.
