FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they differ from traditional 3-tab shingles?
Architectural shingles—also called dimensional or laminate shingles—are a premium asphalt roofing product made of multiple layers of fiberglass mat and asphalt that are bonded together to create a thicker, sculpted appearance. Unlike flat, single-layer 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles mimic the depth and shadow lines of wood shakes or slate. The extra layers make them heavier, more durable, and better able to hide minor decking imperfections. Homeowners in Halls choose them for their superior curb appeal, longer life span, and higher wind resistance.
How long can I expect an architectural shingle roof to last in Halls’ climate?
With proper installation and ventilation, architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years in West Tennessee’s mix of hot summers, occasional ice, and frequent storms. Many premium lines are rated for 30–50 years. Regular roof inspections, timely gutter cleaning, and prompt repair of small issues can maximize the service life. Because Halls experiences wide temperature swings, choosing a shingle brand with strong thermal stability and algae-resistant granules helps maintain curb appeal and performance over the decades.
Are architectural shingles suitable for the high winds and storms we experience in Halls?
Yes. Architectural shingles are engineered for wind speeds of 110–130 mph, far exceeding the 60–70 mph rating of standard 3-tab products. This added wind uplift protection comes from their greater weight, double self-sealing adhesive strips, and staggered laminate layers. When nailed correctly to manufacturer specifications and paired with proper ridge and starter shingles, an architectural roof can stand up to the straight-line winds and severe thunderstorms common in Lauderdale County.
What colors and styles of architectural shingles are available for homes in Halls?
Manufacturers such as GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning offer architectural shingles in dozens of color blends—charcoal, weathered wood, driftwood, slate, desert tan, and more. Specialty lines provide bold color contrasts or high-definition shadowing for a natural shake look. You can also select impact-resistant, cool-roof (solar-reflective), or algae-resistant variants. During our on-site consultation we bring full-sized sample boards and digital visualization tools so you can see how each shingle will complement your brick, siding, or trim.
How much does installing an architectural shingle roof cost in Halls?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, existing layer removal, and selected shingle line, but most architectural shingle installations in Halls range from $4.25 to $6.75 per square foot, fully installed. For a 2,000-square-foot (20-square) roof, that translates to roughly $8,500–$13,500. The quote we provide is itemized, covering tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ridge vent, disposal, and labor. Architectural shingles cost about 15–25 % more than 3-tab shingles up front but offer longer service life and higher property value, making them the better long-term investment.
Do architectural shingles come with a warranty, and do you handle the registration?
Most major brands include a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on architectural shingles, typically covering material defects for as long as you own your home (prorated after the first 10 years). Wind warranties up to 130 mph and algae-resistance coverage up to 15 years are common. Because we are certified by multiple shingle manufacturers, we can offer enhanced system warranties that extend non-prorated coverage to 50 years and include labor. Our team registers the warranty paperwork on your behalf after final inspection, ensuring your coverage is active and documented.
