One of the most common concerns we hear from homeowners is which shingle type is best for their roof. Fiberglass shingles are the thinnest and lightest, making them the easiest to install and providing a higher fire rating. On the other hand, Organic shingles have a more increased lifespan and will remain flexible when temps drop.

In general, fiberglass shingles are more common in the middle and southern states, whereas organic shingles are more common in the north. However, it is also contingent on your use case and budget. Our professionals at Moc Roofing will frequently propose shingles based on what we believe would work best for you.

Wood shingles, which are sawn from wood logs and have a flat surface, might benefit some homes. Wood shakes, which are also split from wooden blocks, are another alternative if you prefer wood; they give significantly less regularity in terms of shingles than shingles and can be grooved and tapered.

They might be divided and sawn to guarantee that shakes taper to a flat surface. Sidewalls can also be covered with shingles or shakes.
