The most commonly used shingle for a residential roof of 2/12 pitch or more is
the standard three tab shingle. We carry a variety of different colors and
blends that can compliment any home. Low pitch roofs, 4/12 or less tend to
give you a cleaner look with a three tab shingle. These come with 20, 25,
and 30 year warrantees with special five year labor and material warrantees.

Recently, the laminated shingle has been becoming more popular. These shingles
start with a three tab shingle and a separate tab of various shape is laminated
to the top of the shingle giving it a more dimensional style. Although you can
see more of the shingle on an 8/12 and higher pitch, many choose it for lower
pitches as well. There is a wide variety of shingle styles and colors. They
are no more reliable than three tab shingles, but do offer the opportunity to
use the roof as more of a design statement. Warranties can be 30, 40, or
Life-Time depending on the shingle.

 One of the
most difficult applications for the roofing business is that of the flat roof.
Flat roofs are notorious for leaks. Extra attention and often higher cost are
involved in order to protect a flat roof from leaks. If the proper roofing job
is done, the homeowner can be more assured of no leaks for the life of the roof.
Even the highest quality flat roofs only offer a 12 year warrantee, however,
because flat roofs tend to hold water and wear out faster than a roof with a
pitch that would allow for water runoff.
