FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they differ from traditional 3-tab shingles?
Architectural (also called dimensional or laminate) shingles are a thicker, multi-layered asphalt product designed to mimic the look of natural slate or cedar shakes. Unlike flat, single-layer 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles have staggered profiles that add depth, better conceal roof imperfections, and typically weigh 30–50 % more. The added material translates into superior wind resistance, longer service life, and a wider variety of colors and shapes—ideal for homeowners who want both performance and curb appeal.
How long will an architectural shingle roof last in Huntland’s climate?
With proper installation and ventilation, today’s architectural shingles carry manufacturer ratings of 30–50 years. In real-world Huntland conditions—hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and winter freezes—you can reasonably expect 25–35 years of service. Regular inspections after storms, prompt flashing repairs, and keeping gutters clear all help ensure you reach or exceed that life span.
Are architectural shingles suitable for the high winds and hail we sometimes see around Huntland?
Yes. Most leading architectural shingles are rated for winds of 110–130 mph out of the wrapper and up to 150 mph when installed with enhanced nailing patterns. Their thicker construction also provides better impact resistance than 3-tab products, and many carry UL 2218 Class 3 or Class 4 hail ratings. We’ll recommend shingle lines specifically tested for the wind zones and hail frequency recorded in Franklin County.
How much does a new architectural shingle roof cost in Huntland?
Costs vary by roof size, pitch, tear-off requirements, and shingle brand, but a typical Huntland home (2,000 sq ft of roof surface) falls in the $8,000–$13,000 range for architectural shingles, including labor, underlayment, flashing, and disposal. Upgrades such as synthetic underlayment, ridge ventilation, or premium designer shingles add to the price but can improve durability and energy efficiency. We offer free, itemized estimates so you know exactly where each dollar goes.
Can you install new siding at the same time you replace my roof?
Absolutely. Coordinating roofing and siding projects saves time and labor costs because we can share setup, dumpsters, and site protection. It also ensures color harmony between roof, siding, trim, and gutter components. We’ll stage the work so the roof deck stays dry, then wrap, flash, and side the walls—often completing an average-sized home in 7–10 working days, weather permitting.
What warranties and maintenance should I expect for architectural shingles and siding?
Architectural shingles come with limited lifetime manufacturer warranties (non-prorated for 10–15 years). When we install them to manufacturer specifications, you also receive a labor warranty—10 years from our company—covering workmanship. Vinyl or fiber-cement siding typically carries 25-50-year material guarantees. Maintenance is minimal: annual visual inspections, debris removal from roof valleys and gutters, and gentle siding washdowns with a garden hose or low-pressure washer. Registering your products within 60 days of installation secures the strongest warranty coverage.
