Shingle Roofs

Dimensional & 3 Tab

What are Dimensional Shingles and What Benefits Do They Include?

Dimensional shingles are your regular asphalt shingles, but with a twist. They are designed to look more like the wood shingles used in the past. Sometimes referred to as laminated or architectural shingles, they come in a variety of different styles.

Benefits:

  • Greater life expectancy
  • A 110 mph wind warranty versus a 60 mph wind warranty for 3-tab shingles 
  • Designer options to suit any style
  • Very popular making them readily available
  • Durable construction making them more resistant to harsh weather conditions
  • Camouflages imperfections in the roof
  • Well suited for the majority of roof pitches and type of roofs
  • Generally considered to be the more attractive option and may even be an HOA requirement
  • Manufactures warranty of 30 years or lifetime (depending on shingle brand)

What are the Costs?

Dimensional shingles cost a little more than 3-tab shingles, but they have a longer lifespan, better wind warranty and improved appearance. They offer several valuable advantages. Like most good things in life, you get what you pay for. Typically, you can expect to pay 20% more for dimensional shingles. We can easily provide a quote on both types of shingles.

What are 3-Tab Shingles?

3-tab shingles are what most people think of when they picture roofing shingles. They are made of asphalt, but have more of a basic construction.

What are the Benefits of 3-Tab Shingles?

  • Budget friendly
  • Readily available
  • Many color options available to match any house color
  • Manufacturer’s warranty of 25 years
