Strip or three-tab shingles
A flat, repeating profile is formed from a single shingle strip.
Compatibility and current product suitability matter when repairing an existing roof.

Choose shingles by their construction, appearance and tested properties, then consider the complete roof system they need.
Free roof inspections. Repair options explained from the roof itself.
Choose shingles by their construction, appearance and tested properties, then consider the complete roof system they need.
A shingle?s profile, its tested properties and the way it is installed answer different questions. Compare each one where it changes the material decision.

Compatibility and current product suitability matter when repairing an existing roof.
Laminated construction creates a dimensional appearance. Profiles, colors and product properties vary.
The chosen shingle still needs suitable fastening and connected system details.
Different shapes and profiles create a more pronounced appearance. Weight and installation requirements vary by product.
Roof suitability and the actual project budget guide the choice.
Impact resistance is a particular product’s tested property. It is not established by the word architectural or by a manufacturer’s name alone.
| Information | What it helps explain |
|---|---|
| UL 2218 class rating | A specified impact test and product classification. It is not a guarantee against all hail damage. |
| IBHS hail evaluation | A separate assessment of selected products under its testing method. |
| Installed roof condition | Deck, attachment, flashing and installation affect the roof as a whole. |
| Insurance terms | Any premium or policy effect depends on the insurer and the particular product and requirements. |

The visible shingles work with the layers below them and the details at their edges. Underlayment lies above the deck, while starter, caps, valleys, wall flashing and penetrations complete the water-shedding paths.
Ventilation needs usable intake and exhaust paths appropriate to the roof assembly. Adding a ridge vent alone does not establish balance. A material change should account for these details rather than focus only on surface appearance.

Color and profile are meaningful owner choices. The actual available product determines those options.
Slope, deck, geometry and compatible system details establish what can be installed.
The architectural-asphalt examples are a starting model. Different products and project details need actual pricing.
