Asphalt Shingle Roofing in South Lake Tahoe, California

The asphalt shingle is the standard roof in South Lake Tahoe, and the mountain climate demands the right grade. The architectural shingle handles the snow and the wind. Asphalt shingle roofing in South Lake Tahoe installs the roof that lasts in the Sierra climate.

Why Asphalt Shingles Suit South Lake Tahoe

• The architectural grade — the thicker mat handles the freeze-thaw better than the 3-tab
• The wind rating — the higher-rated shingles handle the mountain wind
• The cost — the asphalt is the most affordable quality roof
• The ice-and-water shield — the eaves need the extra protection from the ice dams
• The look — the architectural profile suits the mountain and the cabin homes
