FAQs
How long do asphalt shingles typically last in Benton’s climate?
In Benton’s mix of hot summers, occasional hail, and periodic winter freezes, a properly installed architectural-grade asphalt shingle roof usually lasts 20–25 years. Standard 3-tab shingles average 15–18 years. Regular inspections, attic ventilation, and prompt repair of minor damage can add several years to those figures.
What is the average cost of a new asphalt shingle roof in Benton?
Pricing depends on shingle grade, roof size, pitch, and any deck repairs, but most homeowners in Benton spend between $4.00 and $6.50 per square foot installed. For a 2,000 sq ft roof (20 squares), that equals roughly $8,000–$13,000. Architectural shingles add about 10–15 % to the cost but provide better wind ratings and longer life.
How can I tell whether my asphalt shingle roof needs to be replaced or just repaired?
Look for widespread issues such as curling or cracked shingles, bald spots where granules are missing, soft or spongy decking underfoot, and repeated leaks in multiple areas. If more than 25–30 % of the roof is affected, replacement is usually more economical than piecemeal repairs. We offer free on-site inspections in Benton and will provide photos and a written assessment to help you decide.
How long does asphalt shingle installation take once the project starts?
Most residential roofs in Benton are completed in one to three working days. A one-story ranch can often be finished in a single day, while larger or steeper roofs may take longer. Weather delays are rare but possible; we monitor forecasts and secure the roof each evening to keep your home watertight.
Are there different styles or colors of asphalt shingles available?
Yes. We install 3-tab, architectural (laminated), and premium designer asphalt shingles from leading manufacturers. Color choices range from traditional charcoal and weathered wood to bold reds, blues, and blended variegated tones. Reflective ‘cool roof’ shingles that meet ENERGY STAR® criteria are also available and can help reduce attic temperatures in Benton’s hot summers.
What kind of warranty do you provide on asphalt shingle roofs?
All our shingle systems include the manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty against material defects (typically prorated after 50 years). In addition, we provide a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers installation-related issues such as leaks, flashing failures, or blow-offs due to improper fastening. Both warranties are transferable to a new homeowner, adding value if you decide to sell.
