FAQs
What makes your high-performance shingles different from standard asphalt shingles?
Our high-performance shingles are engineered with a thicker, multi-layer fiberglass/asphalt mat, SBS or polymer-modified asphalt for added flexibility, and ceramic-coated granules that resist UV degradation. They carry Class A fire ratings, Class 4 impact ratings (the highest in the industry), and wind warranties up to 130 mph. Combined with our "Roofing Done Right" installation process—starter strips, six-nail fastening, ice & water shielding, and ridge ventilation—the system delivers superior weather resistance and long-term curb appeal.
How long can I expect a high-performance shingle roof to last in Jamestown’s climate?
With proper installation and attic ventilation, you can expect 30–40 years of service life, even through Jamestown’s freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect snow, and summer storms. The modified asphalt stays pliable in cold temperatures, resisting cracking, while the reinforced nailing zones keep shingles in place during high winds. Routine inspections every 3–5 years will help you reach the upper end of that life span.
Are high-performance shingles more energy-efficient, and can they help lower my utility bills?
Yes. Many of the shingles we install carry "Cool Roof" pigments that reflect a higher percentage of solar heat, reducing attic temperatures by up to 15 °F. Lower attic temps mean your HVAC system works less, translating into 5–15 % savings on summer cooling bills. In winter, the heavier mat and proper underlayment create a tighter thermal envelope, minimizing heat loss and deterring ice-dam formation.
How much does it cost to install a high-performance shingle roof in Jamestown?
Most Jamestown homes fall in the $5.25–$8.00 per square foot range, all-in. A 2,000 sq ft roof would typically cost $10,500–$16,000, depending on slope, number of penetrations, and whether decking repairs are needed. While that’s about 15–25 % more than basic architectural shingles, the extended lifespan, energy savings, and stronger warranties often make the total cost of ownership lower over time. We provide free, no-obligation estimates and multiple financing options.
What kind of maintenance do high-performance shingles require?
Maintenance is minimal: (1) Keep gutters clear to prevent water backup; (2) Trim branches at least 6 ft from the roof to avoid abrasion; (3) Schedule a professional inspection after severe storms and every 3–5 years thereafter; and (4) If algae staining appears, a gentle, non-pressure wash with approved cleaners will restore the roof’s appearance. Because these shingles have copper-infused granules, algae growth is already greatly reduced.
What warranties and protections do you offer on materials and workmanship?
Our high-performance shingle systems come with a limited lifetime manufacturer’s warranty, 15 years of algae resistance, and 130 mph wind protection with enhanced installation. In addition, Roofing Done Right backs every Jamestown installation with a transferable 10-year workmanship warranty that covers leaks caused by installation errors, flashing issues, and ventilation problems. We also register your roof with the manufacturer so you’re eligible for their non-prorated "system" coverage for the first 50 years.
