Shingle Roof Options — Simplified

Roof Shingle Options: Compare Five Plans

Compare the owner-supplied roof plans by materials, proposed warranty and included services. Confirm the approved assembly, current price, warranty eligibility, inspection term and start date in your written proposal. A product rating is not a guarantee for every roof or storm.

Five-plan comparison

Materials, tradeoffs, warranties & price

Compare the complete shingle and underlayment assembly, warranty coverage, included service protections and exact price change from the Protector base.
