About this service
Architectural (laminated) asphalt shingles offer the best balance of cost, durability, and appearance for most Connecticut homes. They're built to withstand wind, resist algae, and shed water reliably for decades. We install them with proper underlayment, ice & water shield, and flashing detail so the system — not just the shingles — performs the way it should.

What's included
- Architectural and designer asphalt shingles
- Wind-rated installations with proper nailing pattern
- Ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations
- Algae-resistant shingle options
- Color and profile selection to match your home

Frequently asked questions
Are asphalt shingles a good choice for Connecticut winters?
Yes. Architectural asphalt shingles perform well in cold, snow, and ice when installed with proper underlayment and ice & water shield. We build every shingle roof to handle Connecticut freeze-thaw cycles.
What's the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
Architectural (laminated) shingles are thicker, dimensional, and last longer than older 3-tab shingles. We install architectural shingles on most new roofs because of their better wind rating and appearance.
