FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they differ from traditional 3-tab shingles?
Architectural shingles—also called laminated or dimensional shingles—are a premium asphalt roofing product made by bonding multiple shingle layers together. This manufacturing method creates a thicker, three-dimensional profile that mimics the look of wood shakes or slate. Compared with basic 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles typically offer: • Longer service life (25–35 years vs. 15–20 years) • Higher wind ratings (up to 130 mph) • Better resistance to impact and tear-off • A wider palette of colors and textures for added curb appeal • Enhanced manufacturer warranties because of their superior construction
How long can I expect an architectural shingle roof to last in Halls?
In the Halls area, architectural shingles usually last 25–35 years when properly installed and ventilated. Our region’s hot summers, occasional hail, and high winds make choosing a heavier shingle advantageous: the added weight reduces blow-offs, and improved asphalt blends withstand UV rays better. Regular maintenance—such as keeping gutters clear, removing debris, and scheduling a professional inspection every 1–2 years—can push the roof’s lifespan toward the higher end of that range.
Do I need to tear off my existing roof, or can architectural shingles be installed over it?
Tennessee building codes permit a maximum of two roofing layers. If your current roof has only one layer and its decking is structurally sound, a roof-over may be possible. However, our team generally recommends a full tear-off for architectural shingle upgrades because: 1. It exposes hidden decking damage and moisture issues. 2. It allows proper underlayment and ice-&-water shield installation. 3. It keeps the new shingles flatter, preventing premature cracking or buckling. 4. It maintains your manufacturer’s warranty, which can be voided by improper substrate conditions.
What does it cost to replace a roof with architectural shingles in Halls?
Prices vary with roof size, pitch, and decking condition, but most homeowners in Halls spend between $4.25 and $6.75 per square foot for a complete architectural shingle replacement. A typical 2,000-square-foot roof (20 squares) therefore ranges from about $8,500 to $13,500. The quote usually includes tear-off, disposal, synthetic underlayment, starter strips, hip-and-ridge caps, ventilation upgrades, and workmanship warranty. We offer free on-site evaluations so you receive an exact figure based on your roof’s unique requirements.
What type of warranty will I receive with an architectural shingle roof replacement?
Most leading manufacturers, such as GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, provide a limited lifetime warranty (often defined as 50 years of coverage) on architectural shingles. When our factory-certified crew installs the roof, you can upgrade to an enhanced warranty that covers: • Material defects for 50 years, non-prorated • Wind damage up to 130 mph • Algae discoloration for 10–15 years • Workmanship for 10–25 years, depending on the package chosen We register all warranties for you and supply the paperwork upon project completion.
How long will the replacement take, and what should I expect during the project?
Most single-family homes in Halls can be re-roofed with architectural shingles in 1–2 days once materials are delivered. Larger or more complex roofs may take up to 3 days. You can expect the following timeline: 1. Arrival & setup: Crews cover landscaping, set up safety gear, and position disposal trailers. 2. Tear-off: Old shingles, underlayment, and flashing are removed down to the decking. 3. Deck inspection & repairs: Any damaged plywood is replaced. 4. Underlayment & flashing: Ice-&-water shield, synthetic felt, drip edge, and new flashings are installed. 5. Shingle installation: Architectural shingles, ridge vents, and hip & ridge caps are nailed per manufacturer specs. 6. Cleanup & inspection: Debris is magnetically swept, gutters cleaned, and a final walkthrough ensures quality. Throughout the project, we keep driveways clear during evenings whenever possible and provide daily progress updates so you’re never in the dark about your new roof.
