Shingle Styles

The Shingle Styles We Offer

Choosing the right shingle style for your new roof can completely change the look of your home. While asphalt is the most common roofing material, there are several distinct style categories that offer different levels of depth, texture, and curb appeal. Here is an overview of some popular roofing shingles:

Architectural Shingles

This is the most popular choice for homeowners looking for a clean, dimensional look. Architectural shingles offer a:

• Layered profile with added depth
• Great balance of value and appearance
• Major upgrade from basic flat shingles

Designer Shingles

These roofing shingles are a premium option built for aesthetics and high-end rooflines. Designer shingles:

• Are crafted with thicker cuts and deeper shadow lines
• Mimic slate or handcrafted shake patterns
• Are ideal for roofs meant to make a statement

SBS / Rubberized (Impact-Resistant) Shingles

SBS shingles (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) are engineered for performance in hail and storm-heavy regions. This shingle style:

• Is crafted from a flexible asphalt blend to absorb impact
• Can resist cracking and storm damage
• May offer insurance advantages in some areas

Cedar Shake Style Shingles

A rustic, textured profile without the upkeep of real wood, cedar shake style shingles are:

• Inspired by hand-split cedar shake roofs
• Available in asphalt and high-end synthetic versions
• Resistant to rot and mold
• Low-maintenance

Slate Style Shingles

A refined option that recreates the look of traditional slate, our slate-style shingles are:

• Designed for heritage or classic home styles
• Much lighter than real slate and easier to install
• Available as a high-end aesthetic without structural upgrades

Synthetic Shake & Slate Profiles

The most premium category, built for long-term performance and visual realism, synthetic shake and slate profiles are:
