Protecting Montana Homes with Quality Craftsmanship and Care
Shingle roofing is the most popular choice for homes across the U.S. thanks to its versatility, affordability, and reliability. Asphalt three-tab shingles are the most common, but other materials, such as architectural asphalt, wood, slate, and even clay, are also used. Each offers a unique style and performance benefit.
Shingles work as part of an overlapping system designed to shed water efficiently. While not entirely watertight, this layered approach directs water down and off the roof, protecting your home from the elements.
Selecting the best shingles for your home depends on several key factors, including your budget and the strength of your roof structure. Other considerations include the desired lifespan of the roof, prevailing weather conditions, fire resistance, and how the shingles will complement the overall look of the structure and the surrounding neighborhood. Ultimately, your aesthetic style will also play a significant role in choosing the right shingles for your property.
At Blue Moose Roofing, we proudly partner with Malarkey Roofing Shingles, a brand that differentiates itself from standard roofing options.

There are several types of shingles, including asphalt (three-tab and architectural), wood, slate, and metal. Asphalt shingles are the most common, known for their affordability and variety of styles, while wood and slate offer a more traditional look with added durability. Understanding the pros and cons of each type helps you choose the right one.
The lifespan of a shingle roof depends on the material used. Asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 30 years, while architectural shingles can last up to 50 years or more with proper maintenance. Factors like climate, roof pitch, and installation quality also influence longevity.
The cost of shingle roofing installation can vary depending on the type of shingles chosen, roof size, complexity, and the labor costs in your area. Additional factors, such as roof pitch, underlayment requirements, and any necessary repairs before installation, will also impact the total price.
Signs that your shingle roof may need replacement include missing or damaged shingles, significant granule loss, leaks, and visible wear such as curling or buckling shingles. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important to contact us at Blue Moose Roofing to perform an inspection.
