FAQs
What makes premium shingles different from standard asphalt shingles?
Premium (also called architectural or designer) shingles are manufactured with thicker, multi-layered fiberglass mats and higher-grade asphalt. This gives them a dimensional appearance that mimics slate or wood shake, superior wind ratings up to 130 mph, and impact resistance that can qualify for reduced insurance premiums. They also include stronger UV granules that help the roof keep its color longer—an important feature under Harriman’s high summer sun.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof to last in Harriman’s climate?
With proper installation and ventilation, premium shingles normally last 30–40 years. Harriman’s hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and winter freeze-thaw cycles can stress a roof, but the added asphalt content, heavier weight, and reinforced nailing zones of premium shingles help them resist those extremes far better than 3-tab products. Annual inspections and basic maintenance can push service life to the upper end of the range.
Are premium shingle roofs energy-efficient and can they lower my utility bills?
Yes. Many designer shingle lines are ENERGY STAR® or Cool Roof-rated, meaning they incorporate specialized light-reflective granules that bounce back more of the sun’s heat. In Harriman this can lower attic temperatures by 10–15 °F, reducing air-conditioning demand and trimming summer electricity costs. We can also install radiant-barrier underlayment and ridge ventilation during the re-roof to maximize energy savings.
What is the typical cost of installing a premium shingle roof in Harriman?
Costs vary with roof size, pitch, decking condition, and shingle style, but most Harriman homeowners invest between $5.25 and $8.50 per square foot ($525–$850 per roofing "square"). That figure includes tear-off of the old roof, disposal, underlayment, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, drip edge, new flashing, and complete cleanup. We provide a written, itemized quote after a free on-site inspection so there are no surprises.
How long does a premium shingle replacement take and will my property be protected during installation?
A typical single-family home (2,000–3,000 sq ft of roof) takes 1–2 full working days. We start by laying ground-to-gutter tarps and using plywood shields to protect siding, landscaping, and AC units. Debris is directed straight into a trailer, not onto your lawn. At day’s end we magnet-sweep for nails, remove all refuse, and perform a final walk-through with you to be sure the site is spotless.
What warranties and after-sale support do you provide on your premium shingle roofing systems?
Because we are a certified installer for the leading shingle manufacturers, you receive both their enhanced material warranty (up to 50-year non-prorated coverage against manufacturing defects) and our 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks related to installation. The manufacturer’s wind and algae warranties also transfer once if you sell your Harriman home. We offer free annual checkups for the first five years and priority storm-damage response for all premium-shingle customers.
