FAQs
What are premium shingles and how do they differ from standard asphalt shingles?
Premium (sometimes called "luxury" or "designer") shingles are top-tier asphalt shingles engineered with extra layers of fiberglass mat and asphalt for added thickness, weight, and dimensional detail. They mimic the deep shadow lines of natural slate or cedar shake, deliver higher impact and wind resistance, and include advanced UV- and algae-fighting granules. Compared with 3-tab or basic architectural shingles, premium shingles offer superior durability, richer color blends, longer warranties, and an upscale appearance that can boost curb appeal and resale value for Clairfield homes.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof to last in Clairfield’s climate?
With proper installation and attic ventilation, premium shingles typically provide 30–50 years of service life. Their heavier construction helps them withstand Clairfield’s hot summers, freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional hail. Routine maintenance—annual inspections, clearing debris from valleys and gutters, and prompt repair of any flashing issues—will help the roof reach its full lifespan. Many manufacturers classify their premium lines as “lifetime” products, meaning the warranty remains in effect for as long as you own the home (non-prorated coverage periods vary by brand).
Are premium shingles resistant to the high winds and storms common in the Clairfield area?
Yes. Most premium shingles carry factory wind ratings of 130–150 mph when installed with the manufacturer’s specified starter strips, underlayment, and fastener pattern. Many also earn a Class 3 or Class 4 impact rating from Underwriters Laboratories, indicating they can better resist hail and airborne debris. Their added weight helps them stay seated during gusty thunderstorms, while advanced sealant strips activate in our warm Tennessee sun to create a strong, water-tight bond.
What types of warranties come with a premium shingle roof?
Premium shingle systems generally include: • Manufacturer’s Lifetime Limited Warranty on materials (often non-prorated for the first 10–15 years) • 130–150 mph wind warranty when installed per guidelines • 10–15 year algae-resistance warranty (stain-guard granules) • Optional extended warranty that upgrades coverage to 50 years on both materials AND labor when the full roofing system components are used In addition, our company backs every installation with a transferable 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks related to our labor.
What is the installation process and how long will it take?
1. Free on-site assessment and written estimate 2. Scheduling, permit handling, and delivery of materials 3. Tear-off of the existing roof and inspection of the decking 4. Replacement of any damaged sheathing, installation of ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and flashing 5. Installation of premium shingles, hip & ridge caps, and ventilation components 6. Magnetic sweep and full debris cleanup For an average 2,000 sq ft home with one layer of old shingles, the job typically takes 1–3 working days, weather permitting. Larger or steep-slope roofs may require additional time, but we coordinate daily with homeowners to minimize disruption.
How much do premium shingles cost, and do you offer financing options?
Installed pricing in Clairfield generally ranges from $5.50 to $8.50 per square foot ($550–$850 per roofing square), depending on roof size, pitch, tear-off complexity, ventilation upgrades, and the exact shingle line chosen. While premium shingles cost 20–30 % more than mid-grade architectural shingles, their longer service life and potential insurance discounts often make them a better long-term value. We provide detailed, no-obligation quotes and offer several financing plans, including 0 % interest for 12 months or low-interest terms up to 120 months, subject to credit approval.
