Architectural vs. 3-Tab Shingles: Why Architectural Is Better for Florida

Ranger Roofing recommends architectural (dimensional) shingles over basic 3-tab shingles for all Palm Beach County installations. Architectural shingles are thicker, heavier, more wind-resistant, and longer-lasting. They also provide a more attractive dimensional appearance compared to the flat look of 3-tab shingles.
