Algae resistance
Shade and sea air feed the black streaks you see on older roofs. Algae-resistant shingles keep the roof looking clean for years.

Why most homes here choose architectural shingles
Architectural, or dimensional, shingles are thicker than the old three-tab style, carry higher wind ratings, and give a roof more texture and depth. On capes, colonials, two-families, and Victorians across the North Shore they hit the best balance of cost, looks, and lifespan.
The shingle is only one layer of the roof. Underlayment, ice barrier, flashing, drip edge, and ventilation are what keep water out, and they are exactly where cheap jobs cut corners. We install the full system so your warranty holds up.

Common Questions
Questions Homeowners Ask
How long do architectural shingles last here?
Installed correctly with good attic ventilation, typically 25 to 30 years on the North Shore. Poor ventilation and repeated ice dams are what shorten that.
What is the difference between three-tab and architectural shingles?
Architectural shingles are laminated, thicker, and heavier. They carry higher wind ratings and longer warranties, and most manufacturers have moved away from three-tab.
Can you match my existing shingles?
We bring samples and show you the closest options. Exact matches on older roofs are not always possible because product lines change, and we will tell you that up front.
Will you replace rotted wood under the shingles?
Yes. Soft decking is replaced and photographed so you see what was found. The per-sheet price is in your quote, so there are no surprises.
