FAQs
What are architectural shingles and why are they a good choice for homes in Bean Station?
Architectural shingles are a type of asphalt shingle made with a thicker, multi-layered construction that mimics the look of wood shakes or slate. For Bean Station homeowners, they offer enhanced durability against the region’s hot summers, occasional hail, and strong winds coming off Cherokee Lake. Their dimensional profile also boosts curb appeal and can increase resale value.
How long can I expect architectural shingles to last in the Bean Station climate?
With proper installation and ventilation, architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years. In Bean Station’s mixed humid climate, their heavier base mat and stronger adhesion help them resist algae growth, UV degradation, and wind uplift better than standard 3-tab shingles, often extending practical life toward the higher end of that range.
Are architectural shingles more expensive than traditional 3-tab shingles?
Yes, architectural shingles generally cost 20–30 % more per square (100 sq ft) than 3-tab shingles. However, they provide a longer service life, better wind ratings (up to 130 mph vs. 60–70 mph), and greater energy efficiency thanks to optional reflective granules. Over time, the reduced maintenance and extended replacement cycle often offset the initial price difference.
Will my new roof meet Bean Station’s building codes and wind requirements?
Absolutely. Our team pulls all required Hawkins County permits and follows the International Residential Code (IRC) as adopted locally. We install architectural shingles with manufacturer-specified starter strips, ice-and-water shield in valleys, and a minimum of six nails per shingle, achieving a 130 mph wind rating that exceeds Bean Station’s 90 mph design wind speed.
Can architectural shingles help lower my energy bills?
When paired with proper attic ventilation and optional ‘cool roof’ shingle colors, architectural shingles can reflect more solar heat than darker 3-tab options. This can reduce attic temperatures by 15–20 °F in Bean Station’s summer heat, easing the load on your HVAC system and trimming cooling costs by up to 10 %.
How long does a complete roof replacement take and what is the process?
Most single-family homes in Bean Station can be reroofed with architectural shingles in 1–2 days. Day 1: we protect landscaping, remove old shingles, inspect decking, and install underlayment. Day 2: we lay starter strips, shingles, hip/ridge caps, and clean up. Final inspection is completed with you onsite, and we register your manufacturer’s warranty and our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
