Where 3-tab still makes sense
Rental property where the numbers have to work. A flip that needs a clean, insurable roof at the lowest defensible cost. A detached garage or a small addition where matching the main house is not a concern.
Where it does not
Your own house, if you plan to stay. The price gap to architectural shingle is smaller than most homeowners expect, and the life difference is significant. We would rather quote you the better roof and explain why than win the job on a number you regret.
What’s covered
Ten years on our labor, and a 50-year limited — lifetime for the original homeowner — warranty on the shingle itself, backed by Owens Corning.
Full limited-warranty documentation is provided with every contract and governs in all cases.
