FAQs
What are architectural asphalt shingles and why are they a smart choice for homes in Dayton?
Architectural (also called dimensional or laminate) asphalt shingles are a premium version of traditional 3-tab shingles. They are manufactured with a thicker, multi-layered base mat and sculpted asphalt granules that create a three-dimensional appearance. For Dayton homeowners, they offer several advantages: • Superior wind resistance—rated 110–130 mph, which handles the strong gusts that sweep across the Miami Valley. • Longer service life—because of their added thickness and weight, they last 25–30 years or more, out-performing 3-tab products. • Better aesthetics—dimensional patterns mimic the look of wood shake or slate, adding curb appeal that can boost resale value. • Local availability—most major manufacturers stock architectural lines at Dayton distribution centers, keeping lead times short and prices competitive.
How long should a replacement architectural asphalt roof last in Dayton’s climate?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years in southwest Ohio. Key factors that determine actual life span include: • Weather exposure—hot summers, freeze/thaw cycles and severe storms can shorten roof life if shingles are not rated for our region. • Ventilation—adequate attic ventilation keeps shingle temperatures lower, reducing premature aging. • Installation quality—correct nailing patterns, starter courses and flashings prevent wind uplift and leaks. We use shingles that carry a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty and install ridge vents and intake ventilation to maximize longevity.
What does an architectural asphalt roof replacement cost in the Dayton area?
Prices vary with roof size, pitch, layers to be removed and accessory choices, but most Dayton homeowners spend between $4.50 and $6.50 per square foot (that is $450–$650 per roofing square, 100 sq ft) for a complete tear-off and replacement with architectural shingles. For the average 2,000 sq ft roof, that comes to roughly $9,000–$13,000. The quote we provide always includes: • Tear-off and disposal of old shingles • Ice & water shield and synthetic underlayment • New flashing, drip edge and ventilation components • Permit fees and final cleanup Financing options and insurance claim assistance are available if your roof was storm-damaged.
How long will the roof replacement process take?
Most residential projects in Dayton are completed in 1–2 days once materials are delivered. The sequence is: 1. Material drop (usually the day before). 2. Tear-off of existing layers and inspection of decking. 3. Repairs to any damaged sheathing. 4. Installation of underlayment, starter strips, shingles and flashings. 5. Final magnetic nail sweep and debris removal. Larger or more complex roofs, or unexpected deck repairs, can extend the schedule to 3–4 days, but we’ll give you a firm timeline before work begins.
Do I need a permit for roof replacement in Dayton, and who handles it?
Yes. The City of Dayton and most surrounding municipalities require a building permit for any roofing job involving structural deck repairs or a complete tear-off. Our team pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules required inspections, and ensures the finished roof meets IRC, Ohio Building Code and manufacturer specifications. Permit costs are included in your proposal—no extra paperwork or hidden fees for you.
What warranties come with an architectural asphalt roof replacement?
You receive two layers of protection: 1. Manufacturer warranty—Most architectural lines carry a limited lifetime warranty on the shingles themselves, plus 10–15 years of non-prorated “SureStart” coverage that includes labor and materials for manufacturing defects. Upgraded “system” warranties are available when we install all matching accessories. 2. Workmanship warranty—We provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee covering installation-related leaks or issues. If something tied to our labor fails, we fix it at no cost. Both warranties are transferable to the next homeowner within a specified period, adding value if you sell your property.
