FAQs
What premium roofing materials do you offer in Newport, and how do they compare?
We install standing-seam aluminum and steel panels, natural and synthetic slate, genuine cedar shake, and designer asphalt shingles rated for 130-mph winds. Metal roofs are the most storm-resistant and virtually maintenance-free for 50+ years, slate provides an unmatched architectural look with a 75–100-year life span, cedar offers classic New England charm with natural insulation, and high-definition asphalt gives an upscale appearance at the lowest premium-grade price point. Our consultants help you weigh aesthetics, longevity, weight, and budget before you decide.
How well do your high-end siding products withstand Newport’s coastal weather?
Newport’s salty air, high winds, and freeze-thaw cycles demand tougher siding. We recommend fiber-cement, engineered wood with polymer-seal technology, and premium vinyl rated ASTM D3679. They resist salt corrosion, are impervious to moisture, and include UV inhibitors so colors will not chalk or fade prematurely. When installed with our rain-screen system and stainless fasteners, these products routinely exceed 25 years of service with minimal upkeep, even a few blocks from the shoreline.
What is the typical cost range for premium roofing and siding, and what factors affect the final price?
For an average 2,400-sq-ft Newport home, premium roofing runs $12–$22 per square foot installed, while high-performance siding ranges from $10–$18 per square foot. Variables include roof pitch, number of dormers, tear-off complexity, choice of underlayment and flashing metals, custom trim work, and disposal fees (higher inside the Newport Historic District). We provide itemized quotes so you can see exactly where each dollar goes and choose upgrade options a la carte.
How long will the installation take and what disruptions should I expect?
A full premium roof replacement typically takes 4–7 working days; siding averages 6–10 days. We obtain all Newport building permits, set up site fencing, and use magnetic sweepers daily to remove nails. Power and water are required, but we coordinate with you to protect landscaping and schedule loud work after 8 a.m. Deliveries are staged off-street when possible to preserve limited Newport parking. Most homeowners can remain in the house throughout the project.
Do premium materials come with better warranties or special maintenance requirements?
Yes. Metal roofs carry 40-year finish warranties and lifetime workmanship coverage from us. Synthetic slate offers 50-year material warranties, and our top fiber-cement siding includes a 30-year transferable guarantee. Maintenance is minimal—annual gutter cleaning and a quick garden-hose rinse for siding. Cedar roofing should be treated with a borate or oil-based preservative every 5–7 years to maximize life. We provide a post-installation care guide and optional maintenance plans.
Are there energy-efficiency or environmental benefits to choosing premium products?
Absolutely. Cool-roof metal panels are ENERGY STAR® rated and can lower attic temperatures by up to 30 °F, reducing summer AC costs 10–15 %. Fiber-cement and engineered wood siding contain 30–50 % recycled content and qualify for LEED points. All tear-off asphalt shingles are sent to a regional recycler for roadbed use, and metal scraps are returned to the mill. Many materials are eligible for federal tax credits or local Green Energy rebates, and we handle the paperwork for you.
