FAQs

What are architectural shingles, and why are they a good choice for homes in Englewood?

Architectural shingles—also called dimensional or laminate shingles—are a premium asphalt roofing product made with multiple, thicker layers of fiberglass mat and asphalt that are bonded together to create a three-dimensional appearance. For Englewood homeowners, they offer several advantages: superior wind resistance up to 130 mph, enhanced impact resistance against hail, a Class A fire rating, and an upscale look that mimics wood shake or slate at a fraction of the cost. Their weight and multi-layer structure also provide better durability than traditional 3-tab shingles, making them ideal for the region’s snow loads and temperature swings.

How do architectural shingles perform in Englewood’s climate of hot summers, heavy snow, and occasional hailstorms?

Architectural shingles are engineered to withstand temperature fluctuations and severe weather common to Englewood. The thicker, laminated design reduces the chance of blow-offs during high winds, while many products carry Class 3 or Class 4 impact ratings to resist hail damage. Advanced UV-resistant granules protect the asphalt from intense summer sun, preventing premature cracking. When properly installed with adequate attic ventilation, architectural shingles shed snow efficiently, reducing ice-dam risk in winter. Most manufacturers back these performance claims with 30- to 50-year limited warranties that remain valid even in Englewood’s challenging conditions.

What is the expected lifespan of an architectural shingle roof, and what maintenance is required?

Architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years, and some premium lines can exceed 40 years. Lifespan depends on installation quality, attic ventilation, and routine upkeep. Maintenance is straightforward: keep gutters clean, remove debris such as leaves or branches, inspect flashings annually, and schedule a professional roof inspection after major storms. Promptly replacing damaged shingles and ensuring proper attic airflow will maximize service life. Compared with 3-tab shingles, architectural products require fewer repairs over time because of their thicker construction and stronger adhesive bonds.

Can I replace my siding at the same time I install a new architectural shingle roof? What siding options do you offer?

Yes—coordinating roof and siding projects is cost-effective and minimizes construction disruption. We offer vinyl, fiber-cement (James Hardie®), engineered wood, and premium insulated siding panels. Each material comes in a wide color palette designed to complement the dimensional look of architectural shingles, allowing you to create a cohesive exterior design. During a combined project, we synchronize flashing details, drip edges, and ventilation components so the roof and siding integrate seamlessly, improving weatherproofing and energy efficiency.

What is the typical cost range for architectural shingles and siding replacement in Englewood?

Roofing costs vary by roof size, pitch, and shingle line, but Englewood homeowners generally spend $4.50–$6.50 per square foot for architectural shingles, including removal of the old roof, underlayment, and installation. Full siding replacement ranges from $7–$14 per square foot, depending on the material (vinyl on the lower end, fiber-cement or engineered wood on the higher end). Bundling the two projects often yields a 5–10 % savings on labor and disposal fees. We provide a free, detailed estimate outlining materials, labor, permitting, and optional upgrades such as ice-and-water shield or insulated siding.

Do you offer warranties on your roofing and siding installations, and what do they cover?

Absolutely. Our architectural shingle installations come with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty (non-prorated for the first 10 years) plus our 10-year workmanship guarantee covering leaks caused by installation defects. For siding, we offer manufacturer warranties ranging from 25 years (vinyl) to 50 years (fiber-cement) against fading, warping, and rot, along with a 5-year craftsmanship warranty. Warranties are transferable to the next homeowner, which can boost property value. We also offer optional enhanced system warranties that extend non-prorated coverage to 50 years when we install matching under-roof components.
