Since the early 1900’s the three tab or strip shingle was the standard composition shingle installed on single family residences. These products come with 20, 25,and 30year warranty coverage. Color is about the only appearance differentiation in this class of shingle. In 1965 the laminated or architectural shingle came on the market. Color is no longer the only choice to make. The many textures, forms, and designs of the architectural shingles in the marketplace can result in a major aesthetic upgrade for your home. Today the architectural shingle is running away with the roofing market.
