FAQs
What makes classic asphalt shingles a good choice for homes in Blaine?
Classic asphalt shingles are well-suited to Blaine’s four-season climate. They have a durable fiberglass mat that resists temperature swings, a waterproof asphalt coating to shed rain and melting snow, and UV-resistant granules that protect against summer sun. They’re also cost-effective, easy to repair, and come in a variety of colors that complement the architectural styles common in our area.
How long can I expect a new asphalt shingle roof to last?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, a quality architectural-grade asphalt shingle roof in Blaine typically lasts 20–30 years. Factors that influence longevity include shingle grade, attic ventilation, frequency of severe weather, and how quickly minor issues (like missing tabs) are addressed. Our team installs only products that carry manufacturer warranties of up to 30 years for additional peace of mind.
What maintenance does an asphalt shingle roof require?
Maintenance is straightforward: (1) clear debris such as leaves and branches several times a year, (2) keep gutters clean so water can drain properly, (3) have a professional inspection each spring and fall, and (4) replace damaged or missing shingles promptly. Staying on top of these tasks helps prevent leaks and extends the roof’s service life.
How does the cost of asphalt shingles compare to other roofing materials?
Asphalt shingles are generally the most budget-friendly roofing option available. In Blaine, installation costs average $4–$7 per square foot, depending on shingle style and roof complexity. Metal roofing often starts around $10 per square foot, while cedar shakes and synthetic slate can exceed $12–$14 per square foot. Asphalt shingles therefore provide an attractive balance of affordability, reliability, and curb appeal.
What is the typical installation timeline for an asphalt shingle roof in Blaine?
For an average single-family home (about 2,000–3,000 square feet of roof surface), tear-off and replacement with new asphalt shingles usually takes 1–3 days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs may take 4–5 days. We schedule projects to minimize disruption and always secure the roof at the end of each workday to protect your home from unexpected weather.
What warranties and protections come with your asphalt shingle roofing service?
You’ll receive a dual layer of protection: (1) the manufacturer’s limited lifetime or 30-year material warranty (depending on the shingle line you select), and (2) our 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers labor and installation-related issues. We register manufacturer warranties on your behalf and offer optional annual maintenance packages to keep your new roof performing at its best.
