FAQs
What are architectural shingles, and how do they differ from 3-tab shingles?
Architectural shingles—also called dimensional or laminate shingles—are thicker, multi-layered asphalt shingles designed to mimic the depth and texture of cedar shakes or slate. Unlike 3-tab shingles that have a single flat layer and uniform shape, architectural shingles feature varied shapes and tabs that create a dimensional look. This extra thickness makes them tougher against wind, hail, and UV exposure, giving them longer lifespans and higher wind ratings (up to 130 mph when installed correctly) than standard 3-tabs.
How long can I expect an architectural shingle roof to last in Benton’s climate?
In Benton, where hot summers, occasional hail, and strong spring storms are common, architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years, and many manufacturers back them with limited lifetime warranties. Proper attic ventilation, routine inspections, and professional installation by a certified contractor like Roofing Done Right can push service life to the upper end of that range. Periodic maintenance, such as clearing debris and keeping gutters clean, also helps preserve the shingles’ integrity.
Will architectural shingles increase my home’s resale value or curb appeal?
Yes. Architectural shingles offer deeper shadow lines and richer color blends than 3-tab options, giving homes a high-end appearance that appeals to buyers. Because they come with longer warranties and higher wind/hail ratings, they signal reduced future maintenance costs—a selling point reflected in real-estate listings. Industry studies show that upgrading to architectural shingles can recoup 60–70 percent of the installation cost at resale while boosting overall curb appeal.
How much does it cost to install architectural shingles in Benton?
Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, tear-off requirements, and desired shingle brand, but homeowners in Benton can expect architectural shingle installations to run $4.00–$6.50 per square foot, fully installed. A typical 2,000-square-foot roof (20 squares) ranges from about $8,000 to $13,000. This estimate includes removal of old roofing, underlayment, starter strips, ridge caps, ventilation upgrades, and labor. Roofing Done Right provides free on-site assessments and detailed quotes so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
What kind of maintenance do architectural shingles require?
Architectural shingles are low-maintenance, but a few simple steps will maximize their lifespan: 1) Have your roof inspected annually and after severe storms for lifted or damaged shingles. 2) Keep gutters and downspouts clear so water drains properly. 3) Trim overhanging tree limbs to reduce debris buildup and limb impact. 4) Ensure attic ventilation and insulation remain adequate to prevent heat/moisture buildup that can prematurely age shingles. Roofing Done Right offers affordable maintenance plans that include these services and timely repair recommendations.
