FAQs

What makes high-performance shingles different from standard asphalt shingles for my Birchwood home?

High-performance shingles are engineered with multiple layers of fiberglass mat, advanced polymer-modified asphalt, and ceramic-coated granules. This construction yields higher wind ratings (up to 130 mph), improved impact resistance (Class 4), and longer life spans—often 30–50 years versus 15–25 for conventional shingles. In Birchwood’s freeze-thaw climate, the added flexibility and superior sealant strips ensure the roof resists ice damming, lifting, and premature granule loss.

How long does a full roof replacement with high-performance shingles typically take?

Most single-family homes in Birchwood can be completed in one to three working days, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather. Day 1 is usually tear-off and deck inspection; Day 2 covers underlayment, flashing, and shingle installation; Day 3 (if needed) is for finishing touches and site cleanup. Complex rooflines, multiple layers of old roofing, or unexpected deck repairs may add an extra day.

What is the cost range for installing high-performance shingles in Birchwood?

Costs generally fall between $5.00 and $8.50 per square foot installed, or $500–$850 per roofing square (100 sq ft). Factors affecting price include roof complexity, total square footage, tear-off disposal fees, required deck repairs, and selected shingle brand/style. Because Birchwood requires ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, materials may run slightly higher than the national average but provide essential winter protection.

Do high-performance shingles improve energy efficiency?

Yes. Many premium shingles carry a Cool Roof rating, reflecting more solar heat and keeping attic temperatures lower during Birchwood’s warm summers. Options with advanced granule coatings can reduce surface temperatures by up to 15 °F, easing HVAC load and potentially lowering cooling costs by 7-15 %. Proper attic ventilation and insulation further enhance these savings.

What warranties are available with high-performance shingles?

Most manufacturers offer a limited lifetime material warranty (often defined as 40–50 years) and a 10- to 15-year algae-resistance warranty. When installed by our Birchwood-certified crew, you qualify for upgraded system warranties that cover both labor and materials for 25–30 years and include non-prorated protection for the first decade. Impact-resistant shingles may also earn homeowners insurance discounts—check with your carrier.

How do I maintain my new high-performance shingle roof?

Maintenance is minimal but important. Schedule an inspection each spring and fall, or after severe storms, to check for displaced shingles, flashing gaps, or sealant wear. Keep gutters clear to prevent ice dams and water backup. Avoid power-washing, which can dislodge granules; instead, use a low-pressure hose and mild roof cleaner if moss or algae appear. Promptly trim overhanging branches to reduce debris and critter access. With these simple steps, your roof will reach its full life expectancy.
