FAQs
How long do classic asphalt shingles typically last in Greenback’s climate?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, classic three-tab or architectural asphalt shingles usually last 20–30 years in Greenback. Our region’s moderate winters help slow thermal cracking, but UV exposure, summer humidity, and the occasional hail or wind storm can shorten the life span if shingles are damaged and not repaired quickly.
What is the average cost per square foot for installing asphalt shingles in Greenback?
Pricing varies with shingle style and roof complexity, but most homeowners in Greenback spend between $3.50 and $5.50 per square foot for a complete tear-off and replacement using quality architectural shingles. This figure includes materials, labor, disposal of old roofing, underlayment, flashing, ventilation upgrades, and local permitting fees.
Are asphalt shingles suitable for the hot, humid summers and occasional storms we experience in Greenback?
Yes. Modern asphalt shingles are engineered with fiberglass mats, ceramic-coated granules, and advanced sealant strips that resist UV degradation, algae growth, and wind uplift up to 130 mph. We also install proper ridge and soffit ventilation to dissipate attic heat and reduce moisture, further enhancing shingle performance in our humid climate.
How does the installation process work and how long will my roofing project take?
After a free on-site inspection, we provide a detailed proposal. On installation day we protect landscaping, remove old shingles down to the decking, replace any damaged wood, lay ice-and-water shield in valleys and along eaves, install synthetic underlayment, new flashing, and drip edge, then nail new shingles with six-nail patterns for added wind resistance. A typical 2,000 sq ft home takes 1–2 days, weather permitting, with a full magnetic nail sweep and debris cleanup before we leave.
What warranty coverage do you offer on your classic asphalt shingle roofs?
Our preferred shingle lines carry a limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty on defects and at least 10 years of non-prorated coverage on materials. Because we are factory-certified installers, we can also register an enhanced 50-year transferable warranty that includes labor. In addition, we back our workmanship with a separate 10-year labor warranty for your peace of mind.
What maintenance should I perform to extend the life of my asphalt shingle roof?
Keep gutters clear so water can drain, trim back overhanging branches, and inspect the roof visually each spring and fall for loose or missing shingles. After severe storms, schedule a professional inspection to catch minor damage early. Avoid pressure-washing; instead, use a gentle roof-approved cleaner if algae streaks appear. Finally, ensure attic insulation and ventilation remain adequate to prevent heat buildup and moisture that can warp decking and shorten shingle life.
