Residential shingles

There are dozens of different kinds of shingles that you can use on your roof. We'll focus on a few of the most common to give you a brief overview of what each type has to offer. With this information, you'll be able to better understand your roofing materials and make informed decisions about your roof in the future.

Some of these roof shingles include:

  • Asphalt shingles: This is one of the most common types of shingles in the U.S. Homeowners love this option because it offers convenience, versatility, and durability. They are easy to replace, last for decades, and come in a big selection of colors and shapes.
  • Cedar shakes: If you're looking for something a little more natural-looking with a low environmental impact, cedar shakes are a great option. These wooden shingles are carbon-neutral, lightweight, and have great insulating properties.
  • Metal shingles: Want something maintenance-free for your roof? Metal roofing options aren't prone to the same damages as other shingles and can withstand cracks, warping, and pests. Metal shingles are also expected to last the entire lifetime of the homeowner.
  • Tile shingles: Tile shingles typically come in clay and concrete options. They offer longevity and design versatility and require minimal maintenance. Match tiles to your home's exterior or to your personal style and enjoy the appearance and durability for years to come.

Certified on the brands we install

The shingles we install most in Missoula come from two manufacturers who certify us directly: we're a Malarkey Emerald certified roofer — their Class 4 impact-rated shingles hold up to Montana hail better than standard architectural shingles — and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor for the TruDefinition® Duration line. Certification means the manufacturer's extended warranties apply to your roof.
