Estimating & Workflow
3-tab shingles
A traditional asphalt shingle cut into flat rectangles with three tabs along the lower edge. When laid, each tab is offset from the row below, giving the uniform pattern found on many older homes. It is a standard replacement material when a hail or wind estimate calls for basic asphalt shingles rather than a thicker architectural style.
