FAQs
What premium roofing materials do you offer for homes and businesses in Palmer?
We install a curated range of high-performance products chosen for Alaska’s climate, including Class 4 impact-rated architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam steel panels, composite slate and shake, and energy-efficient synthetic underlayments. Each option is backed by manufacturer testing for extreme cold, wind uplift, and UV resistance so you can pick the look and performance level that fits your property and budget.
Why should I choose premium materials instead of standard shingles in Palmer’s climate?
Palmer experiences heavy snowfall, freeze-thaw cycles, and high winds. Premium materials are engineered to withstand these stresses, meaning fewer repairs, less ice-dam formation, and a service life that can be 10–30 years longer than entry-level products. Over time, that durability lowers maintenance costs and can even reduce your homeowners-insurance premiums.
How long does a premium roof installation typically take?
Most residential projects are completed in 2–5 days, depending on roof size, material choice, and weather windows. We start with a detailed pre-installation inspection, schedule deliveries to avoid delays, and use larger crews when the forecast narrows our working window. Commercial or custom metal systems can take up to two weeks, but we always provide a written timeline before work begins.
Are your premium roofing systems environmentally friendly and energy efficient?
Yes. Metal panels and composite shakes contain recycled content and are 100 percent recyclable at end-of-life. Cool-roof coatings and high-albedo shingle granules reflect solar heat, which helps reduce attic temperatures and summer cooling costs by up to 15 percent. We also install breathable synthetic underlayments that improve ventilation and reduce mold risk.
What kinds of warranties come with your premium roofs?
Manufacturer warranties range from 30-year non-prorated coverage on architectural shingles to 50-year or lifetime coverage on steel and composite products. In addition, our "Roofing Done Right" workmanship warranty protects you against installation defects for 10 years, transferable once to a new owner—offering strong resale value and peace of mind.
How much will a premium roof cost, and do you offer financing?
Pricing varies with material and roof complexity: Class 4 asphalt typically starts around $6.50 per square foot installed, standing-seam metal at $9–$12, and composite slate/shake at $10–$16. We provide free on-site estimates and transparent line-item proposals. For budgeting ease, we partner with local lenders to offer low-interest and zero-interest promotional financing options, often with same-day approval.
