FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they differ from traditional 3-tab shingles?
Architectural (also called dimensional or laminate) shingles are a premium asphalt roofing product made from multiple layers of asphalt that are laminated together, giving them a thicker, dimensional appearance. Unlike flat 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles mimic the depth and texture of wood shakes or slate, offer greater wind resistance, and typically come with longer manufacturer warranties.
How long can I expect an architectural shingle roof to last in Coalmont’s climate?
In Coalmont, where we experience hot summers, occasional high winds, and freeze–thaw winter cycles, properly installed architectural shingles generally last 25–30 years. Regular inspections and timely maintenance—especially after severe storms—can extend that lifespan closer to the upper end of the range.
Are architectural shingles a good choice for severe weather common to the Cumberland Plateau?
Yes. Architectural shingles are rated for wind speeds up to 110–130 mph (upgradeable to 150 mph with enhanced installation), making them well-suited to the gusty conditions that can sweep across the Plateau. Their multi-layer construction also provides better impact resistance against hail and debris than standard shingles.
How much more do architectural shingles cost compared with 3-tab shingles in Coalmont?
Architectural shingles typically cost 15–25 percent more for materials, but the overall installed price difference narrows because labor is similar. Homeowners often recoup the higher upfront cost through longer lifespan, improved curb appeal, and increased resale value.
What is the installation timeline for an average-sized Coalmont home?
For a typical 2,000 sq ft roof with normal pitch, tear-off and installation of architectural shingles usually takes 1–2 days, weather permitting. Larger or more complex roofs, or projects that include decking repairs, can extend the schedule to 3–4 days.
Do architectural shingles come with warranties, and what maintenance is required?
Most major brands offer 30-year to lifetime limited warranties on architectural shingles, plus separate coverage for algae resistance. To keep the warranty valid, homeowners should: (1) schedule professional inspections every 2–3 years, (2) keep gutters clean, (3) remove overhanging branches, and (4) promptly address any storm damage. Minimal routine maintenance helps preserve both appearance and performance.
