Architectural Shingles:
Architectural shingles are also known as laminated or dimensional shingles. They are among the highest quality roofing products because they are heavier, without requiring additional support under the roof. They are used by homeowners, usually of large houses, who like a distinctive look to their roofs.
Their weight and design give a three-dimensional appearance. Some are nailed on in the usual way, while others in addition to nails, have interlocking tabs. They are also attractive to builders because of the ease of installation.

Asphalt Shingles:
Asphalt shingles are the most common roofing materials in use in the US and Canada. That’s hardly surprising, since they are reasonably priced, easy to install and have a life expectancy that ranges from 15 to 30 years. The least expensive asphalt shingles are basic three-tab shingles.
Architectural shingles typically cost more, but are more interesting appearance and generally guaranteed for longer life.

Cedar:
Cedar shingles have been the material of choice for many roofs, especially in the north. Before the 1050s, there was plenty of cedar heartwood, the part closest to the center of the tree. It was hard, could be cut straight and had natural toxins against insects and rot.
It was considered the roofing material of choice for people who could afford it. Today, cedar is reasonably priced and can easily weather the most brutal Canadian climates.
