Default Asphalt Shingles For New England House: Appropriate Weight Or Thickness Recommendations ?

Hello:

What would be your recommendation for the appropriate "weight" (or it
specified by thickness, or...?) for a 3-Tab
Asphalt shingle to be used for a residence re-shingling job in New England ?

Want to know what I should be discussing with contractors.

Any brands considered "best" these days ?
Or, any to stay away from ?

Thanks,
B.


I vote with Edwin. The additional cost of 30 or 40 years shingles
over 25 year is a small fraction of the total cost. Heavier is
better.

The achitecural style shingle also looks a whole lot better.
