Shingle Types

Choose the Right Shingle for Your Home

Architectural Shingles

The most popular choice for Paterson homes, architectural shingles feature a multi-layered construction that creates a rich, three-dimensional appearance. Heavier than 3-tab shingles, they resist wind up to 130 MPH and last 25 to 30 years. GAF Timberline HDZ is our top recommendation in this category.

Designer Shingles

For homeowners wanting a premium look, designer shingles replicate the appearance of natural slate, cedar shake, or European tile at a fraction of the cost and weight. These are ideal for upscale neighborhoods in Eastside, Hawthorne, and Druid Hills.

Impact-Resistant Shingles

Engineered to withstand hail impacts that would damage standard shingles. Many New Jersey insurance companies offer premium discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, often offsetting the higher material cost over time.

Questions

Shingle Roofing FAQ

3-tab shingles are single-layer with a flat appearance, while architectural shingles are multi-layered with a dimensional, textured look. Architectural shingles are heavier, more wind-resistant, longer-lasting (25-30 years vs 15-20), and more attractive. The price difference is modest — typically $500 to $1,500 more for a full roof.

In Paterson, quality architectural shingles typically last 22 to 28 years, while 3-tab shingles average 15 to 20 years. New Jersey heat and UV exposure are the primary factors that determine lifespan. Proper attic ventilation significantly extends shingle life by reducing heat buildup.

Light-colored shingles reflect more heat and reduce cooling costs, while darker shingles absorb heat but can hide algae staining better. For Paterson, mid-tone colors like weathered wood, driftwood, and hickory offer a good balance. We bring samples and can show you homes in your area with different colors.
