Three-Tab
A single-layer shingle cut into flat tabs, with a uniform, lighter-weight look.
Asphalt shingles cover most pitched roofs on Bronx homes. We install, repair, and replace them, matched to what Bronx weather demands.
Asphalt shingles are overlapping layers of fiberglass-reinforced, asphalt-coated tiles with a granule surface, and they cover most pitched roofs on Bronx houses. How a shingle roof performs depends on the whole system beneath it, not just the shingles you see.
Installation builds the whole system: deck, drip edge, underlayment, ice and water barrier where needed, starter course, shingles, flashing, and ridge ventilation. Bronx winters call for careful attention to sealing and ice protection at the eaves.
Repair means removing damaged or missing shingles, checking the underlayment and deck beneath, and installing new shingles with proper fasteners and sealant strips. Worn flashing is replaced rather than smeared with sealant.
When wear is widespread, we remove the old covering, repair the deck, and install new underlayment, flashing, and shingles as one system. See roof replacement for how the full process works.
Most asphalt shingle roofs last 15 to 30 years, depending on the shingle grade, installation quality, ventilation, and exposure to sun, wind, and coastal weather. Regular maintenance helps you get the full lifespan out of your roof.
| Factor | How It Changes the Job |
|---|---|
| Shingle grade | Three-tab, architectural, and premium shingles differ in material cost. |
| Roof size and pitch | More area and steeper slopes add material and labor. |
| Deck condition | Rotted or damaged decking adds repair work once uncovered. |
| Roof complexity | Valleys, dormers, and chimneys add flashing and labor. |
| Ventilation needs | Adding or correcting attic ventilation changes the scope. |

Three-tab shingles are a single layer cut into flat tabs, while architectural shingles bond multiple layers into a thicker, dimensional product. Architectural shingles are heavier and more widely used on newer roofs.
Most last 15 to 30 years, depending on the shingle grade, installation quality, and exposure to sun, wind, and coastal weather. Ventilation and maintenance play a big role too.
Sometimes, but it depends on the roof structure, local codes, and how many layers are already there. A tear-off is often the better choice, and we can tell you which applies to your roof.
Not necessarily. Dark streaks are often algae, which mainly affects appearance, though moss holds moisture and can lift shingles. We can tell which you have and suggest options that will not harm the roof.
Most pitched roofs need balanced intake and exhaust ventilation to move heat and moisture out of the attic. Poor ventilation can shorten shingle life and damage the deck.
Shingles shed some granules as they age, which is normal in small amounts. Heavy granule loss points to a surface that is wearing out and worth a closer look.
