Asphalt Shingle Types We Install

Not every asphalt shingle roof is built the same way. At Plum ProExteriors, we match the right shingle to your home’s style, budget, and the demands of New England weather — from heavy snow loads to gusty coastal winds. Three-tab, architectural, and luxury profiles each handle exposure, durability, and curb appeal differently, so there’s no single right answer for every roof. Here are the three asphalt shingle options we install across Massachusetts:

Three-tab shingles

A flat, single-layer shingle that delivers a clean, uniform look at the most budget-friendly price point. A solid choice for straightforward roof shapes and homeowners focused on value. Typical service life: 15–25 years.

Architectural shingles

Our most popular pick — multi-layered shingles that add depth, dimension, and stronger wind resistance for New England storms. They balance durability and appearance for most Massachusetts homes. Typical service life: 25–30 years.

Luxury shingles

Premium designer shingles that mimic the look of slate or cedar shake while keeping the practicality of asphalt. Built for maximum protection and standout curb appeal on higher-end homes. Typical service life: 30+ years.

Faster, Cleaner Installation

Asphalt shingle systems install efficiently, so your roofing project stays on track with less disruption to your daily routine at home.

Straightforward Repairs

Damaged shingles are easy to spot and replace. That keeps maintenance simple and extends the service life of your asphalt shingle roof.

Materials

Asphalt Shingles vs Other Roofing Materials

Asphalt shingles

Our go-to for most Massachusetts homes: affordable, quick to install, and built for New England weather. With proper care, a quality asphalt shingle roof lasts 25–30 years and comes in styles to suit any home.

Metal roofing

Long-lasting and excellent at shedding snow, metal carries a higher upfront cost than asphalt. See our metal roof vs shingles compared breakdown to weigh durability against budget.

Wood shakes

Wood shakes offer a natural, classic look but require regular upkeep and are more susceptible to moisture and rot during New England’s damp seasons. They also cost more to maintain over their lifespan.

Composite slate tile

Composite slate roofing provides excellent durability and weather resistance without the extreme weight or structural demands of natural slate, delivering long-lasting performance and curb appeal.

We had a great experience with Plum Pro overall. Yuk was very professional and well-organized while working with us on a proposal and contract to fix our deck after it was severely damaged by a fallen tree. He set us up with an accelerated timeline to help us coordinate this project with some of our other repairs, and aside from some weather delays stuck to it pretty well overall.

Yuk and his team did a wonderful job with our siding, roof and windows. From the very first meeting through the whole project, Yuk and his team have been caring, professional, and respectful. The communication and transparency were outstanding, reflecting their confidence in the quality of their work and their respect for their clients.

The best contractor I’ve worked with on any project. Excellent communication throughout the whole process, took time to answer any questions or concerns, and the crew was great. They kept the work site very clean every day. We’re very happy with the results and with the whole process. Highly recommend.

We could not have asked for a better team than Plum ProExteriors for our siding and window project. From start to finish, the process went smoothly. At our initial meeting, Yuk did a great job of explaining all of the different options available for our project. He then provided us with a very detailed estimate that gave us the confidence that there would not be any hidden/surprise costs/fees, which there were not. Once the contract was signed, Yuk did a great job of communicating when the project would start.

Yuk and the crew at Plum ProExteriors did an excellent job installing 7 Pella Architectural double-hung windows in my 1911 Dutch Colonial. Prior to providing a proposal, Yuk measured not once but twice to ensure the windows fit perfectly. Two of three windows were part of a bay window where the frames were no longer perfectly square. None the less, the crew got the windows to fit without issue. They finished with caulking any gaps inside and out for all the windows and finished the job in one day. The crew was clean and neat and even took away the old storm window frames. I already have received compliments on how well the windows look. Their price was fair and I would definitely hire Plum ProExteriors again. Thanks guys!

Yuk is definitely an A+. I felt very comfortable with him and trusted throughout the entire process. We ran into a few issues along the way and that’s to be expected, but Yuk was always available and made good on his promises. If I had to criticize one thing it would be that he doesn’t have a great carpenter for interior finish work, but in fairness he did make me aware that this was not something his crew normally does. Love the end product and the neighbors do too!

We have a full house of windows to replace and we are so happy we found Yuk thanks to a recommendation on a local Facebook group. Yuk quoted the entire job and was transparent in his pricing. Yuk was patient walking us through the process and updating quotes when we decided to start only with the largest and least efficient windows.

I hired Plum ProExteriors based on the quality of work I saw when I came across a renovation project they were doing in the area. I had roof, windows, doors, siding and decking done.I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge Yuk has in his trade. Communication was excellent. He kept me updated on the progress when I wasn’t there. Yuk and his crew worked efficiently and more importantly the quality of work was exceptional.

Frequently asked questions

How long do asphalt shingles last in New England’s climate?

Are asphalt shingles tough enough for Massachusetts snow and wind?

Yes. Properly installed asphalt shingles handle Massachusetts snow loads and high winds well. Our certified team installs every roof to code with the right underlayment and fastening, so your roof stands up to New England weather season after season.

How do I know whether to repair or replace my roof?

It depends on your roof’s age and the extent of the damage. A few missing shingles often call for repair, while widespread wear or leaks usually call for replacement. See Roof repair vs full replacement, or request a free on-site inspection.

Your new roof is backed by the shingle manufacturer’s product warranty plus our workmanship coverage. As a licensed and insured contractor, we walk you through exactly what each warranty covers before installation begins.
