FAQs
What are composite shingles and why are they a smart choice for homes in Newcomb?
Composite shingles are manufactured roofing tiles made from a blend of fiberglass mat, recycled plastics, mineral fillers, and high-grade asphalt. For Newcomb’s mixed Adirondack climate—where large temperature swings, high winds, and heavy snowfall are common—composite shingles perform especially well. They are lighter than traditional slate or cedar, yet engineered to resist cracking, warping, and algae growth. Many products also carry Class A fire ratings and Class 4 impact ratings, giving homeowners peace of mind during severe weather events.
How long can I expect a composite shingle roof to last in this region?
With proper installation and minimal upkeep, composite shingles generally last 30 – 50 years. Their multi-layer construction and UV-stable surface granules protect against snowmelt, freeze-thaw cycles, and the intense summer sun Newcomb experiences. Most leading manufacturers back these shingles with limited lifetime or 40–50-year transferable warranties, and our crew follows manufacturer-certified installation practices to ensure you get the full benefit of that coverage.
Can composite shingles be coordinated with different siding styles on my home?
Yes. Composite shingles come in a wide spectrum of colors, textures, and shadow lines—from rustic cedar-shake looks to sleek architectural profiles. That flexibility makes it easy to pair the roof with vinyl, fiber-cement, engineered wood, or even natural cedar siding. During your free design consultation, we use digital visualization tools to show how various roof tones will complement your existing or planned siding so you can make a confident design choice.
What does the roof-and-siding installation process look like and how long will it take?
A typical single-family home roof replacement with composite shingles takes 1–3 days, depending on roof size and complexity. If you are adding new siding at the same time, total project duration generally ranges from 4–7 days. Our process includes: (1) detailed pre-install inspection and accurate measurements; (2) protective tarping of landscaping; (3) tear-off and eco-friendly disposal of old materials; (4) deck repair, ice-&-water shield, and synthetic underlayment placement; (5) shingle installation with corrosion-resistant fasteners; (6) siding removal (if applicable) and installation with moisture barrier, trim, and flashing; (7) final cleanup, magnetic nail sweep, and walkthrough with you to verify satisfaction.
How do composite shingles compare in cost to metal or cedar roofing, and do you offer financing?
Installed costs for composite shingles in Newcomb average $6–$9 per square foot, sitting between mid-range architectural asphalt ($4–$6) and standing seam metal or natural cedar ($10–$15). Because they last nearly as long as higher-priced options yet cost significantly less upfront, they deliver an excellent cost-to-value ratio. We partner with local lenders to provide flexible financing—0% promotional plans for qualified homeowners and low-interest terms up to 144 months—so you can spread payments out comfortably without delaying the project.
What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect after installation?
Composite shingles require little more than periodic debris removal from gutters and valleys. They do not need staining, sealing, or specialized treatments. We recommend a professional inspection every 2–3 years or after severe storms to catch minor issues before they grow. Manufacturer warranties typically cover material defects for 40–50 years, with 10–15 years of non-prorated labor coverage. Our company adds a 10-year workmanship guarantee on both roofing and siding, meaning any installation-related problems will be corrected at no cost to you during that period.
