FAQs
What makes your storm-resistant architectural roofing ideal for homes in Cowan?
Our architectural shingles are engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to 130 mph, common during Cowan’s spring and summer thunderstorms. They feature a multi-layer laminate construction, reinforced nailing strips, and impact-rated granules that resist hail. This combination provides superior uplift resistance, reduces shingle loss, and delivers a dimensional appearance that boosts curb appeal.
How does storm-resistant siding complement the roofing system?
We install reinforced vinyl and fiber-cement siding panels that lock together tightly and are fastened with stainless steel hardware. This creates a continuous weather barrier that channels wind and rain away from the home, preventing moisture intrusion at wall-to-roof transition points. When paired with our architectural roof, the siding forms a cohesive envelope that minimizes storm damage and energy loss.
Are these roofing and siding products certified or tested for severe weather?
Yes. Our shingles carry ASTM D7158 Class H wind ratings and Class 4 impact ratings under UL 2218. The siding meets ASTM D5206 for wind load and is ICC-ES evaluated for structural performance. Both products have undergone independent testing for rain penetration, UV resistance, and thermal cycling to ensure long-term durability in Cowan’s humid subtropical climate.
Can I receive insurance discounts for installing storm-resistant roofing and siding?
Many carriers offer premium reductions—often 5 – 20 %—for homes with Class 4 impact-rated roofs and reinforced exterior cladding. After installation, we provide manufacturer documentation and a completion certificate you can submit to your insurer. Exact savings depend on your policy and provider, so we recommend contacting your agent beforehand.
How long does installation usually take and will I need to leave my home?
A typical single-family residence in Cowan takes 2-3 days for roof replacement and 3-5 additional days for full siding installation, weather permitting. You can remain in your home during the project; our crews follow strict safety and cleanup protocols to keep driveways, walkways, and entrances accessible.
What maintenance is required to keep the system performing at its best?
Twice-a-year visual inspections, gutter cleaning, and prompt removal of debris are generally all that’s needed. We recommend a professional roof check after any major storm to document potential issues for insurance. The siding only requires an annual gentle wash with a garden hose and mild detergent to remove dirt and pollen. Both products carry limited lifetime manufacturer warranties when registered after installation.
