If you're like me, you get a little frustrated when you're researching products and services online and find that no one who actually does the roofing work has their prices listed on their websites.

Architectural asphalt shingles are heavier than the 3-tab shingles and provide you with a much better wind rating than the lighter 3-tab shingles.
Architectural shingles are sometimes referred to as laminated or dimensional shingles because, during the production of the shingle, the manufacturer laminates shingle parts together. This laminated part creates depth or provides dimension.
Fun fact, this shingle was first designed to look like real wood shake shingles. So, in my opinion, the brown tones look the most natural on a roof.
