Step 1: Select your shingle

For roofing projects on a budget, Basic 3-Tab shingles are a good choice.

If you’re trying to create an upscale look for your home, (or if you have a roof where the shingle design is more likely to be noticed) then an Architectural or Designer shingle can add beauty and value!

Quick tip: Your roof can represent up to 40% of the visual appeal of your home. The small, additional investment for a “Better” or “Best” shingle can pay off many times over when you re-sell your home!

Step 2: Select your warranty
