FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they differ from traditional 3-tab shingles?
Architectural (also called dimensional or laminate) shingles are a thicker, multi-layered asphalt roofing product designed to mimic the depth and texture of wood shakes or slate. Unlike 3-tab shingles, which are a single flat layer with a uniform shape, architectural shingles have staggered, sculpted tabs that create a dimensional appearance. • Composition: Multiple fiberglass and asphalt layers bonded together for added weight and durability. • Aesthetics: Richer shadow lines and a wider color palette enhance curb appeal. • Performance: Typically rated for 110-130 mph winds (upgradable to 150 mph with special installation) and carry longer manufacturer warranties—often 30 years to Lifetime. • Value: Although they cost 15-25 % more up front than 3-tab shingles, their extended life and higher resale value make them a popular choice for Fayetteville homeowners.
How long can I expect architectural shingles to last in Fayetteville’s climate?
Architectural shingles installed by our certified crews generally last 25–35 years in the Fayetteville area. Longevity depends on: • Proper ventilation: Balanced attic ventilation prevents heat and moisture build-up that can shorten shingle life. • Quality underlayment and flashing: We use synthetic underlayments and corrosion-resistant flashings that prevent water intrusion. • Storm exposure: Hail and high winds are the biggest threats; periodic inspections after major storms preserve warranty coverage. • Maintenance: Keeping gutters clean and removing tree debris helps the roof shed water quickly. We register each roof with the manufacturer for enhanced system warranties that can cover material defects and our workmanship for up to 50 years.
Are architectural shingles a good choice for Fayetteville’s high-wind and storm conditions?
Yes. Architectural shingles are engineered for superior uplift resistance compared with 3-tab products. Most brands we install carry: • Wind ratings of 110–130 mph when nailed per manufacturer specs (six nails per shingle). • Optional high-wind limited warranties up to 150 mph with the addition of starter strips and specialized cap shingles. • Class A fire ratings and, on select lines, Class 3 or Class 4 impact ratings for better hail resistance. Combined with ice & water shield in valleys and around penetrations, an architectural shingle system offers robust protection against Fayetteville’s spring thunderstorms and occasional tropical remnants.
What siding options do you provide, and how do I choose the best one for my home?
We specialize in three primary siding materials: 1. Vinyl Siding: Budget-friendly, low maintenance, and available in dozens of colors and profiles. Vinyl is fade-resistant and never needs painting. 2. Fiber-Cement (James Hardie): A blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It’s non-combustible, highly impact-resistant, and carries a 30-year limited warranty. Ideal for homeowners who want a wood-grain look without the upkeep. 3. Engineered Wood (LP SmartSide): Treated wood strands bonded with resins for strength and treated to resist rot, termites, and fungal decay. It offers the warmth of real wood and can be prefinished in factory colors or painted on site. Choosing the right siding depends on your budget, desired look, maintenance tolerance, and neighborhood HOA guidelines. Our design consultant brings full-size samples and digital rendering tools to help you visualize each option on your exact home.
What is the typical timeline and process for a roof or siding replacement project?
Roof Replacement: • On-site inspection & estimate: 1–2 hours. • Material ordering & permitting: 3–5 business days. • Installation: Most roofs up to 3,000 sq ft are completed in 1 day; larger or steep roofs may take 2–3 days. • Final cleanup & inspection: Same day as install completion. Siding Replacement: • Design consultation & measurement: 1–2 hours. • Material lead time: 1–3 weeks depending on custom colors. • Removal & prep: 1–2 days. • Installation: 3–7 days depending on house size and trim details. Throughout the project we keep dumpsters on-site, use landscape protection nets, and perform magnetic nail sweeps daily. A final walk-through with you ensures everything meets our workmanship standards before we consider the job complete.
Do you assist with insurance claims and offer financing for roofing or siding projects?
Absolutely. Many Fayetteville homeowners need storm-related repairs, so we have a dedicated insurance liaison who can: • Meet your adjuster on-site to document hail, wind, or impact damage. • Provide itemized Xactimate estimates that align with carrier guidelines. • Handle supplemental submissions for code upgrades (e.g., drip edge, ice-water shield) required by the latest North Carolina Building Code. For out-of-pocket projects, we partner with national lenders to offer: • 0 % APR same-as-cash plans up to 18 months. • Low fixed-rate loans up to 15 years. • Easy online application with decisions in minutes—no home equity required. This flexibility lets you choose premium architectural shingles or upgraded siding now and pay over time without straining your budget.
