FAQs
What are architectural shingles, and how do they differ from traditional three-tab shingles for homes in Old Fort?
Architectural shingles—often called dimensional or laminate shingles—are made with two or more layers of asphalt fused together, creating a thicker, sculpted appearance that mimics slate or cedar shake. Compared with three-tab shingles, they offer superior wind resistance (up to 130 mph ratings), longer life spans (25–35+ years versus 15–20), deeper shadow lines for curb appeal, and better impact resistance against Appalachian hail and debris common around Old Fort.
How long can I expect a modern architectural shingle roof to last in Old Fort’s climate?
With proper installation and attic ventilation, architectural shingles typically last 25–35 years in Old Fort. Our region’s moderate winters and warm, humid summers are well within the product’s tested temperature range. Periodic inspections, prompt repair of any storm damage, and routine gutter cleaning can push the roof’s service life toward the upper end of that range.
Do architectural shingles provide energy efficiency benefits for my home?
Yes. Premium architectural shingles use reflective mineral granules and multiple laminations that enhance insulation. When paired with proper underlayment and ridge-vent systems, they help maintain consistent attic temperatures, reducing HVAC load in both hot summers and cool winters of the Blue Ridge foothills. Many lines carry ENERGY STAR® ratings that may qualify for local or federal energy-efficiency incentives.
What siding materials do you recommend alongside architectural shingles, and why?
For cohesive protection, we often pair architectural shingles with insulated vinyl, fiber-cement, or engineered wood siding. • Insulated vinyl siding boosts thermal resistance (R-value) and resists moisture—a plus in humid seasons. • Fiber-cement siding offers high fire and impact resistance, ideal near wooded areas around Old Fort. • Engineered wood siding delivers authentic wood grain aesthetics with advanced moisture treatments. Each option comes in colors that complement shingle palettes, creating a seamless exterior design.
How much does it cost to install a new architectural shingle roof with siding upgrades in Old Fort?
Costs depend on roof size, pitch, tear-off needs, and siding choice. On average, architectural shingles in McDowell County run $4.25–$6.75 per square foot installed. Siding ranges from $6–$9 per square foot for insulated vinyl, $8–$11 for fiber-cement, and $10–$14 for engineered wood. A typical 2,000-square-foot home might budget $11,000–$16,000 for roofing alone and $12,000–$22,000 for full siding replacement. We provide free on-site evaluations and detailed written estimates so you know exact costs before any work begins.
What warranties and maintenance services do you provide after installation?
Our architectural shingles carry manufacturer limited lifetime warranties (non-prorated for the first 10–15 years) plus 130-mph wind warranties. Siding products include 25–50-year finish and substrate warranties depending on the brand. In addition, our company backs every installation with a 10-year workmanship warranty. We offer annual maintenance programs that include roof and siding inspections, minor sealant touch-ups, debris removal, and written condition reports to preserve both manufacturer and workmanship coverage.
