FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they differ from traditional 3-tab shingles?
Architectural (also called laminated or dimensional) shingles are composed of multiple layers of asphalt fused together to create a thicker, more dimensional appearance that mimics slate or wood shake. Unlike 3-tab shingles, which are a single flat layer, architectural shingles offer improved durability, a heavier weight that resists wind uplift, longer manufacturer warranties, and an upgraded aesthetic that can boost curb appeal.
How long can I expect an architectural shingle roof to last in Jefferson City’s climate?
When installed by our Roofing Done Right team, architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years, and many premium lines can reach 35–40 years with proper ventilation and maintenance. Jefferson City experiences hot summers, freeze-thaw cycles, and the occasional hailstorm, so selecting Class 3 or Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles and scheduling annual inspections will help you reach—or exceed—the upper end of that lifespan.
Will architectural shingles improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. Many architectural shingles come with high solar reflectance granules that deflect more UV radiation than basic 3-tab products. This can lower attic temperatures by 10-15 °F, reducing the workload on your HVAC system during Jefferson City’s hot, humid summers. Opt for shingles that are ENERGY STAR® rated or include “cool roof” technology for maximum energy savings.
How much does it cost to install architectural shingles in Jefferson City?
Costs vary based on roof size, pitch, tear-off requirements, and shingle brand. On average, Jefferson City homeowners invest between $4.50 and $7.50 per square foot for a complete architectural shingle roof replacement, including labor, materials, underlayment, flashing, and disposal. We provide free, itemized estimates so you can see every cost component and choose options that fit your budget without sacrificing quality.
Can architectural shingles withstand Missouri’s severe weather, including hail and high winds?
Modern architectural shingles are engineered for resilience. Many lines carry Class F wind ratings up to 130 mph and Class 3 or 4 impact resistance for hail. Our Roofing Done Right crews use six-nail fastening patterns, upgraded synthetic underlayment, and starter strips at eaves and rakes to maximize wind performance. Choosing impact-rated shingles and registering the manufacturer’s enhanced warranty further protects your investment.
What is the installation process when Roofing Done Right replaces my roof with architectural shingles?
1) Site preparation: We protect landscaping and set up safe access. 2) Tear-off: Old roofing is removed down to the deck, which we inspect for rot or damage. 3) Deck repairs: Any compromised sheathing is replaced. 4) Underlayment & flashing: Ice-and-water shield is installed in valleys and eaves; synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and flashing follow. 5) Shingle installation: Architectural shingles are laid with manufacturer-approved nailing patterns and aligned for consistent shadow lines. 6) Ventilation upgrades: Ridge vents or other vents are added to optimize airflow. 7) Cleanup & inspection: We magnet-sweep for nails, haul debris, and perform a final walkthrough with you to ensure complete satisfaction.
