FAQs
Why are architectural asphalt shingles a good choice for homes in Crab Orchard?
Architectural asphalt shingles are engineered with multiple laminated layers, giving them superior wind resistance (up to 130 mph ratings) and a thicker profile that stands up well to Crab Orchard’s seasonal temperature swings and occasional severe storms. They also offer an attractive dimensional appearance that resembles wood shake, yet cost 20–30 % less than cedar or synthetic alternatives.
How long can I expect a new architectural asphalt shingle roof to last in Crab Orchard’s climate?
With proper installation and attic ventilation, architectural shingles typically last 25–35 years in Crab Orchard. The region’s moderate humidity and freeze-thaw cycles can shorten the life of 3-tab shingles, but architectural shingles’ heavier mat and enhanced sealant lines help them resist granule loss and thermal cracking, extending service life.
What is the average cost to replace an asphalt shingle roof in Crab Orchard?
Most homeowners spend between $4.25 and $6.75 per square foot for a full tear-off and replacement with architectural shingles in Crab Orchard. For a 2,000 sq ft roof, that translates to roughly $8,500–$13,500, depending on roof pitch, decking repairs, underlayment upgrades, and ventilation improvements. We provide free, no-obligation inspections and itemized estimates so you know exactly where every dollar goes.
How long does a roof replacement project take from start to finish?
After materials arrive and any required Crab Orchard permits are secured, a typical single-family roof (2,000–3,000 sq ft) can be replaced in 1–2 days of on-site work. Complex roofs with multiple valleys or steep pitches may extend to 3 days. We schedule tear-off, decking repairs, shingle installation, flashing, and clean-up in a tight sequence to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
What warranties come with an architectural asphalt shingle roof installation?
You’ll receive two layers of protection: 1. Manufacturer’s Limited Lifetime Warranty – covers manufacturing defects for the life of the shingles (prorated after the first 10 years). 2. Our 10-Year Workmanship Warranty – covers installation-related issues such as flashing leaks or nail pops. Registering your roof within 60 days of completion activates enhanced wind and algae resistance coverage at no extra cost.
Do I need to worry about local building codes or HOA requirements in Crab Orchard?
We handle all code compliance and permitting for you. Crab Orchard follows the Kentucky Residential Code, which mandates ice-and-water shield along eaves, proper ventilation ratios, and a minimum Class A fire-rated shingle. If you belong to an HOA, we’ll review their covenants to confirm approved shingle colors and profiles before ordering materials, ensuring your new roof meets both municipal and community standards.
