FAQs
What are premium shingles and why should I consider them for my Pelham roof replacement?
Premium shingles are a higher-grade asphalt shingle made with thicker base mats, advanced fiberglass reinforcement, and refined asphalt blends. They typically feature multi-layer construction, enhanced UV granules, and designer profiles that mimic slate or wood shake. For Pelham homeowners, premium shingles offer superior wind resistance (often rated 130 mph+), greater impact resistance for hail, and richer curb appeal that blends well with the town’s mix of historic and newer homes.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof to last compared with standard architectural shingles?
Standard architectural shingles usually carry 25–30 year limited warranties and show noticeable wear after 18–22 years. Premium shingles routinely come with 40-year, 50-year, or lifetime limited warranties. With proper attic ventilation and annual maintenance in Pelham’s four-season climate, you can realistically expect 30–40 years of service life—roughly 30 % longer than mid-grade shingles—before needing another replacement.
Will investing in premium shingles increase my home’s resale value in Pelham?
Yes. Local Realtors report that recently replaced roofs rank among the top three items buyers ask about. Appraisers in Westchester County typically assign a higher effective age reduction and energy-efficiency credit to homes with premium shingles, boosting appraised value by 3-5 %. The distinctive “high-definition” look can also shorten time on market, helping recoup 60–70 % of the project cost at resale.
What is the typical timeline for a complete roof replacement with premium shingles?
Most Pelham homes (2,000–3,000 sq ft of roof area) require 1–2 days for tear-off and deck inspection, 1 day for repairs and underlayment, and 1–2 days for installing premium shingles, ridge caps, and flashing details. Factoring weather contingencies, we schedule a 4-day window but often finish in 3. Larger or complex roofs with dormers, skylights, or copper details may extend to 5–6 working days.
Are there local building codes or HOA guidelines I need to follow for a roof replacement in Pelham?
Pelham’s Building Department follows the NYS 2020 Residential Code, requiring ice-and-water shield from the eave up to 24 inches inside the warm wall line, minimum 110 mph wind-rated shingles, and permit inspection of sheathing. Certain historic districts and HOAs restrict color palettes and mandate low-profile ridge vents. We handle the permit application, HOA submittal, and schedule both the mid-project sheathing and final inspections on your behalf.
What warranties and maintenance services come with your premium shingle installation?
We are a factory-certified installer, so your roof automatically qualifies for the manufacturer’s 50-year non-prorated material warranty and a 15-year 130 mph wind warranty. Our workmanship warranty covers labor and flashings for 15 years. To keep warranties valid, we offer an optional annual maintenance plan that includes gutter cleaning, inspection of penetrations, minor sealant touch-ups, and a detailed condition report—an especially valuable service after Nor’easters or hail events common to the Pelham area.
