Premium Shingle Roofs
Behind the familiar look is a layered construction, and that is worth keeping in mind. Granule loss is the clearest sign that a shingle is wearing out, and the granules end up in the gutters.
Older houses often wear three-tab shingles because they were once the standard, and a little care goes a long way. Most new roofs on houses today use architectural shingles, which look richer and resist wind better, and the difference shows in the finished roof. Designer shingles are heavier and carefully styled to resemble natural slate or cedar, and a sample on site shows the difference clearly.
