Fiberglass vs. Organic
Asphalt shingles are available in two varieties: fiberglass and organic. Fiberglass shingles have a base mat made of woven fiberglass, while organic mat-based shingles start with a base of recycled felt paper. Both are then saturated with asphalt for waterproofing, and finally coated with adhesive asphalt that’s embedded with ceramic granules. Because of the fact that they consist of 40% more asphalt than fiberglass, organic mat-based shingles are heftier in weight as well as cost. Even though they’re labeled as “organic,” the additional asphalt content makes them less environmentally friendly.
Three Tab vs. Architectural
Asphalt shingles are manufactured in two different types: Three-tab and Architectural. Three-tab shingles are distinguished by – you guessed it! — tabs. These tabs are the cutouts that run along the lower long edge of the shingle. The three comes from the fact that even though they’re one whole piece, they look like three individual shingles. Three-tab shingles have been around a long time and are still the most popular as well as economical shingle today. Architectural asphalt shingles do not have cutouts, but their lower portion contains an additional laminated asphalt layer. This creates the high definition, ultra dimensional look that gives them their name.

Thank you Ivan and the team. You were the only contractor who could communicate in both English and Spanish to answer all the questions my parents had. I knew we were in good hands.
