FAQs

What are architectural shingles, and why are they a smart choice for a roof replacement in Oneida?

Architectural shingles—also called dimensional or laminated shingles—are premium asphalt shingles composed of multiple fused layers. This construction gives them a thicker profile, a three-dimensional appearance that mimics wood shakes, and far better durability than traditional 3-tab shingles. For homeowners in Oneida, where snow loads, high winds off Oneida Lake, and dramatic temperature swings are common, architectural shingles offer Class A fire resistance, 110–130 mph wind ratings, and impact-resistant options. Their heavier base mat also helps them lie flatter in freeze–thaw cycles, minimizing blow-offs and ice-dam damage, while their varied color blends boost curb appeal and resale value.

How long will an architectural shingle roof last in Oneida’s climate?

Most manufacturers rate architectural shingles for 30–50 years, but real-world lifespan depends on local conditions and maintenance. In Oneida’s humid continental climate, expect 25–35 years for standard architectural shingles and 35–45 years for upgraded, algae-resistant or impact-rated lines—provided the roof is properly ventilated, gutters are kept clean, and minor repairs are addressed promptly. Annual inspections after harsh winters and every 3–5 years of professional maintenance can easily add 5–10 years to service life.

What does it cost to replace a roof with architectural shingles in Oneida?

Pricing varies by roof size, pitch, decking condition, and shingle grade, but most Oneida roof replacements with architectural shingles fall between $5.00 and $7.50 per square foot ("per square" = 100 sq ft). For an average 2,000 sq ft roof, that equates to roughly $10,000–$15,000, including tear-off, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, new flashing, disposal fees, and labor. Upgrading to premium designer architectural shingles or Class 4 impact-rated products can add $1.00–$1.50 per sq ft. We offer detailed written estimates, financing options, and manufacturer rebates that can lower out-of-pocket costs.

Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Oneida, and will you handle it?

Yes. The City of Oneida Building Department requires a residential re-roof permit whenever more than 25 percent of the existing roof covering is replaced. Permits ensure your new roof meets NYS Residential Code for structural load, ice-barrier coverage, and ventilation. Our company pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules any required inspections, and provides you with final approval documentation for your records or home insurance carrier.

Are architectural shingles strong enough to withstand Oneida’s heavy snow and wind?

Absolutely—when installed to manufacturer specifications. Architectural shingles weigh 240–300 lbs per square versus about 200 lbs for 3-tab shingles, giving them extra mass to resist wind uplift. Most lines carry 110 mph standard wind warranties that can be upgraded to 130 mph with special installation techniques—well above the 90 mph design wind speed in Madison County. For snow, we install self-sealing ice-and-water shield at all eaves and valleys, apply proper ridge ventilation to reduce ice dams, and use high-profile ridge caps that won’t flatten under snowpack.

How long will the roof replacement take, and how disruptive is the process?

A typical single-family roof in Oneida takes 1–2 days for tear-off and installation, plus a final half-day for cleanup and inspection. Larger or steeper roofs may extend to three days. We protect landscaping with tarps, use catch-all netting to contain nails, and perform magnetic sweeps of your yard and driveway each evening. Most homeowners experience minimal disruption—your power and HVAC stay on, and you can remain in the home throughout the project. We provide daily progress updates and a full site inspection with you before we consider the job complete.
