FAQs
What are classic architectural shingles and how do they differ from 3-tab shingles?
Classic architectural shingles (also called laminate shingles) are a premium asphalt product made with multiple layers of fiberglass mat and asphalt that are bonded together to create a thicker, dimensional appearance. Compared with flat 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles offer deeper shadow lines that mimic wood shakes, superior wind resistance (up to 130 mph when installed to manufacturer specs), and longer warranties—usually 30 years to Lifetime. Their added weight and depth also help them better withstand Jacksboro’s frequent high winds and occasional hailstorms.
How long will an architectural shingle roof last in Jacksboro’s climate?
In the relatively hot, humid, and sometimes storm-prone weather of Jacksboro, architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years with proper installation and ventilation. Regular maintenance—such as clearing debris, checking flashings, and scheduling professional inspections after major hail or wind events—can push lifespan toward the upper end of that range. Because these shingles have a thicker asphalt coating than 3-tabs, they resist granule loss, UV degradation, and wind uplift better, making them well-suited to our North Texas climate.
Will upgrading to architectural shingles improve the curb appeal and resale value of my home?
Yes. Architectural shingles add dimension and texture that flat 3-tab products can’t match, giving roofs a high-end, cedar-shake look at a fraction of the cost of wood or slate. Appraisers and real-estate agents in Jacksboro generally note a 2–5 % boost in perceived home value after a dimensional shingle upgrade. The bold shadow lines, wide color palette, and improved warranty coverage are also strong selling points for prospective buyers, helping your property stand out in a competitive market.
How much does a classic architectural shingle roof replacement cost in Jacksboro?
Costs vary depending on roof size, pitch, decking repairs, and ventilation upgrades, but most Jacksboro homeowners spend between $4.50 and $6.75 per square foot installed. For a 2,000 sq ft roof, that translates to roughly $9,000–$13,500 before any insurance contributions. Our written estimates include tear-off, underlayment, starter strip, ridge vents, drip edge, flashings, disposal, and a workmanship warranty so you have a transparent, line-item price breakdown.
Do I need to tear off my existing shingles before installing architectural shingles?
Building codes in Jack County allow a maximum of two roof layers. If your home currently has only one layer, a second-layer (layover) installation may be possible, but we typically recommend a full tear-off. Removing the old shingles lets us inspect and repair roof decking, replace damaged flashings, and install modern synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield. A tear-off also prevents excess weight on the structure and ensures your manufacturer’s wind warranty remains valid.
What warranties come with a new architectural shingle roof from your company?
Most leading manufacturers—such as GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed—offer Limited Lifetime warranties on architectural shingles, covering manufacturing defects for as long as you own your home (prorated after the non-prorated period, typically 10 years). When we install the shingles using their full roofing system components, you can upgrade to a 50-year non-prorated coverage that’s transferable once. In addition, we provide a 10-year workmanship warranty that guarantees proper installation and leak-free performance; if a workmanship-related issue arises, we will repair it at no cost.
