FAQs
What distinguishes premium shingles from standard asphalt shingles?
Premium shingles are engineered with multiple laminated layers, heavier fiberglass mats, and advanced adhesives that provide superior thickness, weight, and dimensional stability. This construction enhances durability, wind uplift resistance, and impact protection while delivering high-definition architectural styles that mimic slate or cedar. In short, you get longer life expectancy, better curb appeal, and stronger weather performance than you would with basic three-tab or standard architectural shingles.
How long will a premium shingle roof last in Fountain City’s climate?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, premium shingles typically last 30–50 years in Fountain City. Their added weight and UV-resistant granules handle our hot summers, frequent rain, and winter temperature swings far better than economy shingles. Regular roof inspections, professional attic ventilation, and prompt minor repairs will help you reach the upper end of that lifespan.
Are premium shingles designed to withstand Fountain City’s high winds, hail, and heavy rains?
Yes. Most premium shingles carry a Class 4 impact rating (the highest available) for hail resistance and are tested to resist winds up to 130 mph when installed with a six-nail pattern. Their thicker asphalt coating and enhanced sealant strips create a watertight barrier that sheds heavy downpours quickly, reducing the risk of leaks and shingle blow-offs common during our spring storms.
What does our “Roofing Done Right” installation process involve?
We follow manufacturer-certified best practices: (1) full tear-off to inspect the deck, (2) replacement of rotten decking, (3) installation of synthetic underlayment plus ice & water shield at eaves and valleys, (4) six-nail pattern fastening for every premium shingle, (5) factory-matched ridge and hip caps, (6) balanced attic ventilation, and (7) meticulous clean-up with magnetic nail sweep. This comprehensive approach maximizes the warranty and ensures your new roof performs for decades.
What warranties come with a premium shingle roof?
You’ll receive a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on the shingles that covers manufacturing defects for as long as you own your home (prorated after the non-prorated period). Because we are certified installers, we can also register an upgraded 50-year transferable coverage on both materials and labor. In addition, our company backs every “Roofing Done Right” project with a 10-year workmanship guarantee that protects you against installation-related issues.
How much does a premium shingle roof cost and do you offer financing?
Premium shingles typically cost 20–40 percent more than standard architectural shingles, averaging $5.50–$8.50 per square foot installed, depending on roof complexity and color choice. While the upfront investment is higher, homeowners gain a longer service life, lower maintenance costs, potential insurance discounts for impact-rated products, and increased home value. We partner with local lenders to offer low-interest and 0% promotional financing options so you can spread payments over 12–120 months and start enjoying the benefits immediately.
