FAQs
What are premium shingles and how do they differ from standard asphalt shingles?
Premium shingles—often called designer, architectural, or luxury shingles—are thicker, heavier, and more dimensional than traditional three-tab asphalt shingles. They’re engineered with multiple layers of fiberglass mat and high-grade asphalt that create deeper shadow lines, superior impact resistance, and enhanced wind performance. Many premium shingles mimic the appearance of slate or cedar shake, offering upscale curb appeal without the weight or cost of natural materials. Because of their advanced construction, they typically carry longer manufacturer warranties and higher fire, wind, and algae-resistance ratings than standard shingles.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof to last in Apison’s climate?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, premium shingles usually last 30–50 years in the Apison area. Our humid summers, occasional hail, and strong spring storms put extra stress on roofing materials, but the thicker asphalt and advanced granule technology of premium shingles help them resist granular loss, cracking, and wind uplift better than economy‐grade products. Choosing a contractor who follows manufacturer specifications, installs adequate attic ventilation, and registers all warranty paperwork is crucial to achieving the upper end of the life span.
What is the typical cost range for a premium shingle roof replacement in Apison?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, tear-off requirements, and the specific shingle line selected, but most premium shingle replacements in Apison fall between $6.00 and $9.50 per square foot of roof area (that’s $12,000–$19,000 for a 2,000-sq-ft roof). This figure includes removal of old roofing, underlayment upgrades, starter course, ridge caps, hip & ridge ventilation, flashings, and disposal. We provide a written, itemized quote after an on-site inspection, and we can help you navigate financing or insurance claims if your replacement is storm-related.
Which premium shingle brands and styles do you install, and what warranties are available?
We are certified installers for CertainTeed, GAF, and Owens Corning designer series shingles, including CertainTeed Landmark PRO, GAF Timberline HDZ & Grand Sequoia, and Owens Corning Duration FLEX. Because of our manufacturer credentials, we can offer upgraded, non-prorated system warranties of 25–50 years that cover both material defects and our workmanship. Optional wind warranties up to 130 mph and algae-resistance guarantees up to 25 years are also available. All details are registered with the manufacturer upon project completion so you receive full coverage.
How long does the roof replacement process take, and what should I expect during the project?
Most premium shingle roof replacements on average-sized Apison homes take 1–3 days, weather permitting. Day 1 involves material delivery, protective tarping of landscaping, and removal of the old roof. Day 2 is typically for installing underlayment, ice & water shield on eaves/valleys, and the new shingles, followed by ridge ventilation and flashing work. A final day may be necessary for punch-list items and cleanup. We use magnetic sweepers to collect nails, haul away all debris, and perform a multi-point quality inspection. You’ll have a dedicated project manager on-site to answer questions and provide progress updates.
How can I maintain my new premium shingle roof to maximize longevity and keep the warranty valid?
1) Schedule a professional roof inspection every 1–2 years and after severe storms. 2) Keep gutters and downspouts clear so water flows freely and doesn’t back up under shingles. 3) Trim tree branches at least 6 ft from the roof to reduce abrasion and debris buildup. 4) Ensure attic insulation and ventilation remain balanced; excessive heat or moisture can void warranties. 5) Avoid power-washing shingles—gentle, manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions are safer. 6) Document any repairs with invoices and photos; using unauthorized products or non-certified contractors can jeopardize warranty coverage.
