Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation From a Select ShingleMaster
A roof replacement is one of the biggest exterior remodeling projects a homeowner can take on, and the installation matters just as much as the roofing itself. Alco Products has over 70 years of experience serving homeowners throughout DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia, with a focus on clear communication, careful preparation, and quality workmanship from start to finish.
As a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster contractor, Alco Products upholds stringent manufacturer requirements for asphalt shingle installation and ongoing training. We install CertainTeed asphalt shingles exclusively, allowing our team to focus deeply on one product line and the installation methods that help it perform as intended. Every asphalt shingle roof replacement includes a dedicated project manager overseeing the process and is backed by our limited lifetime labor warranty.
A damaged, leaking, or aging roof can create a lot of problems. Fortunately, a roof replacement doesn’t have to be a struggle.
Architectural Shingles vs. 3-Tab Shingles: Which is Best For Your DC Metro Home?
One of the first decisions during an asphalt shingle roof replacement is selecting the type of shingle that fits your home and priorities. Both 3-tab and architectural shingles are proven options, but they differ in appearance, construction, and performance.
Here’s how they compare:
3-Tab Shingles: A traditional asphalt shingle with a flat, consistent appearance. They offer reliable protection at a lower initial cost and can be a practical option for homeowners focused on upfront affordability.
Architectural Shingles: Also called dimensional shingles, these feature a layered construction that creates more depth and texture. They typically offer a more premium appearance and are a popular choice for homeowners looking to enhance curb appeal while investing in longer-term performance.
During your consultation, our team will explain the differences between each option and help you choose the right CertainTeed shingle for your home, budget, and goals.
A Thoughtful Approach to Roof Replacement
A roof replacement involves more than removing old shingles and installing new ones. Proper preparation is critical to protecting your landscaping, driveway, and other areas around your home during the project.
Before work begins, the Alco Products team takes steps to protect your property, including covering landscaping beds, protecting high-traffic areas, and setting up designated work zones. We take the time to keep the project organized and contained so the focus stays on the roof, not unnecessary disruption around your home.
Once roof installation is complete, we perform a thorough cleanup that includes a magnetic nail sweep around the property. Removing stray fasteners from grass, gravel, and pavement is a simple step, but it is an important part of leaving your home cleaner and safer when the project is finished.

Common Questions About Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement
3-tab shingles are single-layer with a flat, uniform appearance, while architectural shingles use multi-layer construction creating a dimensional, textured profile. Architectural shingles generally perform longer and carry stronger visual appeal, while 3-tab shingles offer lower entry cost for homeowners working within tighter budgets.
Lifespan depends significantly on material quality and installation precision. A properly installed architectural shingle roof can serve a home well for decades. Cutting corners on underlayment, flashing, or fastening shortens that lifespan, which is why installation quality matters as much as the shingle itself.
The certification means our installers have completed CertainTeed's qualification requirements and stay current through ongoing education. It reflects demonstrated knowledge of how CertainTeed products should be installed for performance and warranty validity. Homeowners who work with certified installers also access enhanced warranty options that non-certified roofing contractors can't offer.
