Why choose 3-tab shingles?
Best value. 3-tab shingles deliver dependable protection at a smart price—ideal for rentals, ADUs, and house roofing.
Clean look. They create a flat, uniform pattern that works on most roof styles—gable roof, hip roof, even mixed hip and gable roof layouts.
Easy to repair. Many issues only need a targeted roof patch or small roof fix, which keeps costs down.
Plenty of colors. LA favorites include onyx black shingles, black roof shingles, weatherwood shingles, driftwood shingles, barkwood shingles, moire black shingles, and even green shingles.
Energy awareness. Pair 3-tab with energy-efficient shingles and cool roof systems or reflective roof coatings to help with heat.
Prefer more dimension? We also install architectural shingles (aka dimensional shingles) and can compare the best asphalt shingles for your budget and style.

We also service tile roofing (clay roof tiles, concrete roof, terracotta roof, slate shingles, natural slate, synthetic slate roofing).
Materials, waterproofing & efficiency
Strong roofs start with the right system. We offer composite shingles, composite roof shingles, fiberglass shingles, premium underlayments, and ice-and-water protection at eaves/valleys (ice and water shield). For extra protection and longevity, ask about roof coatings, roof waterproofing, liquid waterproofing, roof silicone, white roof coating, roofing tar, liquid roof, GacoFlex, Henry’s TropiCool, and compatible boards like Securock. Want greener options? We can discuss green roofing, cool roof systems, and even white metal roof upgrades for additions. We also handle roof restoration when the deck is sound.
