FAQs
What are premium shingles and how do they differ from standard asphalt shingles?
Premium shingles are the top-tier products in the asphalt shingle family, manufactured with thicker fiberglass mats, higher-grade asphalt, and multi-layer designs that replicate the look of slate or cedar. Compared to standard 3-tab or architectural shingles, premium shingles offer superior wind resistance (often 130 mph+ ratings), enhanced impact resistance, deeper shadow lines for richer curb appeal, and longer manufacturer warranties—typically 40 years to lifetime. They are an ideal upgrade for homeowners in Cowan who want maximum durability and an upscale appearance without the higher cost of true slate or wood shakes.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof to last in Cowan’s climate?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, premium shingles generally last 25–35 years in Cowan. Our region’s mix of hot, humid summers and occasional severe storms can shorten the life of lower-grade shingles, but premium shingles are engineered to resist heat aging, algae staining, and high-velocity winds. Annual inspections, attic ventilation checks, and prompt repair of minor damage will help you reach the upper end of the service-life range.
Are premium shingles suitable for the weather conditions in Cowan?
Yes. Premium shingles are tested for Class A fire resistance, Class 4 impact resistance (hail), and 110–130 mph wind uplift. Many lines include copper-infused granules to fight algae streaking, a common issue in Tennessee’s humid climate. If you live in a part of Cowan exposed to strong valley winds or occasional hail, premium shingles provide a robust shield while maintaining an attractive profile.
Will installing premium shingles increase my home’s resale value or curb appeal?
Absolutely. Realtors report that high-end roofing materials can return up to 60–70 percent of their cost at resale, and homes with distinctive designer shingles often sell faster. The dimensional profiles, bold colors, and shadow lines of premium shingles set your roof apart from neighboring 3-tab roofs, instantly boosting curb appeal and perceived quality. Buyers appreciate knowing the roof will require fewer repairs and may be covered by transferable warranties.
What is the installation process and how long does it take in Cowan?
After a free on-site evaluation, we remove the old roofing, inspect the decking, and install upgraded underlayment, ice & water shield, and metal flashing. Premium shingles are heavier and require six to eight nails per shingle for optimal wind performance, so installation is slightly more labor-intensive than standard shingles. Most Cowan homes (2,000–3,000 sq ft) are completed in two to three days, weather permitting, and we handle all debris disposal and final magnet sweep to leave your property clean.
What warranties are available for premium shingles and your workmanship?
Most premium shingle manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties covering manufacturing defects. When installed by our factory-certified crew, you qualify for enhanced coverage that includes non-prorated material and labor protection for 25–30 years. We also back our workmanship with a 10-year leak-free guarantee. All warranties are transferable once during the first 10 years, adding extra value if you decide to sell your Cowan home.
