What Are 3-Tab Shingles?
Simple, Affordable, Reliable Protection
3-Tab shingles are the traditional asphalt shingle — a single-layer sheet with three cutouts (tabs) that give them a uniform, flat appearance. They've been the standard residential roofing product for decades, and while architectural shingles have largely replaced them in new construction, 3-tab remains a cost-effective solution for homeowners on a strict budget or looking for a like-for-like replacement.
Six G's installs GAF Royal Sovereign® 3-Tab shingles — the most widely trusted 3-tab product on the market with a 25-year limited warranty and proven performance in Long Island's climate.
Honest Advice: Should You Upgrade?
We'll always be straight with you: for only 10–20% more, architectural shingles provide significantly better wind resistance, a longer lifespan, and a lifetime warranty. In most cases, we recommend at least stepping up to architectural shingles.
That said, 3-tab is the right choice if you're on a strict budget, have a short time horizon on the property, or simply need a clean, economical roof that does the job. We'll give you both quotes and let you decide.
