FAQs
What exactly are high-performance shingles and how do they differ from standard asphalt shingles?
High-performance shingles are premium architectural or designer asphalt shingles that are engineered for superior durability, weather resistance, and curb appeal. They are manufactured with thicker fiberglass mats, enhanced asphalt blends, multiple laminated layers, and advanced surface granules. This construction gives them higher wind ratings (up to 130 mph), Class 4 impact resistance, stronger warranty coverage, and longer service life—often 30–50 years versus 15–25 years for entry-level 3-tab shingles. Many models also include copper-infused granules for long-term algae protection and solar-reflective pigments that help reduce attic temperatures.
How long can I expect a high-performance shingle roof to last in Friendsville’s climate?
Friendsville experiences hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and occasional winter freeze-thaw cycles. A properly installed high-performance shingle system typically lasts 30–40 years here, and some premium lines can reach 50 years. Longevity depends on proper attic ventilation, routine gutter cleaning, and timely minor maintenance. We back every installation with a workmanship warranty and enroll your roof in the manufacturer’s enhanced lifetime limited warranty for added peace of mind.
What warranty protection do you offer with your “Roofing Done Right” installations?
You receive two layers of coverage: 1. Manufacturer Warranty: Most of our high-performance shingles come with a transferable lifetime limited warranty on manufacturing defects, plus specific wind (up to 130 mph) and algae-resistance terms. When we install the full certified roofing system—including starter strips, ice-and-water barrier, synthetic underlayment, and ridge ventilation—you qualify for upgraded, non-prorated coverage for the first 50 years. 2. Friendsville Roofing Done Right Workmanship Warranty: We include a 10-year labor warranty that covers installation-related issues. Because we are factory-certified, any workmanship claim is honored by both us and the shingle manufacturer for total protection.
How does a high-performance shingle roof improve energy efficiency and property value?
High-performance shingles use reflective or cool-roof granules that bounce a larger share of the sun’s infrared heat away from your roof, lowering attic temperatures by up to 15 °F. This eases the load on your HVAC system and can trim summer cooling costs 5–15 percent. Thicker laminations and advanced sealant strips also create a tighter building envelope, reducing wind-driven rain intrusion and heat loss during winter. In terms of resale value, national studies show that a premium architectural shingle roof can return 60–70 percent of its cost at resale and makes homes more attractive to buyers who want low-maintenance, high-warranty roofing.
