FAQs
What are architectural asphalt shingles and why are they a good choice for Huntsville homes?
Architectural (also called laminated or dimensional) asphalt shingles are a premium grade of shingle made with a thicker, multi-layered fiberglass mat. The staggered layers create a dimensional wood-shake appearance while delivering superior performance. For Huntsville homeowners, they offer wind resistance up to 130 mph, Class A fire protection, and high impact ratings against the hail we see in North Alabama storms. The added mass also helps buffer the intense summer heat, lowering attic temperatures and, in turn, cooling bills.
How long can I expect an architectural asphalt roof to last in the North Alabama climate?
With proper installation and ventilation, architectural shingles typically last 25–35 years in the Huntsville area. Our hotter summers and occasional tornado-driven winds shorten the life of basic 3-tab shingles, but architectural products contain UV-resistant granules, heavier mats, and enhanced sealant strips that slow degradation. We also use ridge vents and synthetic underlayment to help your roof reach the upper end of its lifespan.
Can you replace my siding at the same time you install a new roof?
Yes. Coordinating roofing and siding projects saves both time and labor costs, and it ensures that flashing details, drip edges, and weather-resistant barriers tie together flawlessly. We start with a full exterior inspection, create a unified scope of work, and assign a single project manager so you have one point of contact. Most average-size Huntsville homes can have both roof and siding replaced within 7–10 working days, weather permitting.
What is the average cost for an architectural asphalt roof in Huntsville?
Prices vary with roof size, pitch, and product line, but most architectural asphalt reroofs in Huntsville run between $4.25 and $6.50 per square foot of roof area, fully installed. That estimate includes tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, ridge ventilation, and all disposal fees. We provide free, detailed digital estimates and offer financing plans with low-interest options through local credit unions.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans for roofing and siding installations?
Absolutely. As a CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster contractor, we can register 50-year, non-prorated manufacturer warranties on architectural shingles and a 10-year workmanship warranty that we back in-house. For siding, vinyl and fiber-cement lines carry limited lifetime warranties, and our labor warranty is 5 years. We also sell an optional annual maintenance plan that includes a spring roof inspection, fall gutter cleaning, discounted minor repairs, and priority storm response.
How quickly can you respond to storm damage or emergency roof repairs in Huntsville?
We maintain a 24/7 emergency line and can usually have a crew on site within 2–4 hours of your call, day or night. In severe weather events, we prioritize homes with active water infiltration, tarping damaged sections to stop further leaks. Once the roof is secure, we assist with photos, moisture readings, and the paperwork your insurance carrier needs. Our familiarity with Madison County codes and adjusters often speeds up claim approvals, helping you get a full roof or siding replacement scheduled in as little as one week.
