Featuring a single tab shape and size, they are available in different colors and lie flat on the roof decking, creating a sleek appearance. Many homeowners opt for three-tab shingles due to the economical price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our collaboration with GAF, the largest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasroofing.net\/roofing\/gaf-master-elite\/\">roofing<\/a> manufacturer in North America, permits us to offer the brand\u2019s high-quality line of three-tab shingles. You can select from the two collections: Marquis WeatherMax\u00ae and Royal Sovereign\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Architectural Shingles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the distinguishing characteristics of architectural shingles is their varying size and shape. They have a rich, multi-dimensional appearance that enhances the architectural design of your home. They also add value because of their heavy-duty performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GAF manufactures high-quality architectural shingles that can withstand extreme conditions. Their Timberline\u00ae shingles prevent leaks caused by roof shrinking and inclement weather. Each piece is attached using Dura Grip\u2122 adhesive, which averts shingle blow-offs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lean on Your Local Westminster Roofer for Help!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can turn to Thomas Roofing Company, Inc.
