FAQs
What makes architectural shingles a good choice for storm-resistant roofing in Jasper?
Architectural shingles are manufactured with a thicker, multi-layered fiberglass mat and heavier asphalt coating than traditional 3-tab shingles. This extra mass gives them a higher wind rating—many are tested to withstand gusts up to 130 mph—and better impact resistance against hail, flying debris, and falling limbs common during Jasper’s spring and summer storms. In addition, their staggered, dimensional profile reduces the likelihood of wind uplift at the shingle edges, lowering the chance of blow-offs. The result is a roofing material that combines curb appeal with the durability needed to handle North Alabama’s severe weather patterns.
How can I tell if my architectural shingle roof has storm damage?
After a major wind or hail event, look for: • Missing, cracked, or curled shingles. • Dark spots or bruises where hail has knocked off protective granules. • Exposed fiberglass mat or shiny asphalt areas. • Loose or bent metal flashing around chimneys and valleys. • Shingle debris or granule accumulation in gutters and downspouts. • Water stains on interior ceilings or attic decking. Because some forms of damage—like creased shingle tabs—can be subtle from the ground, we recommend scheduling a free professional inspection. Our Haag-certified inspectors in Jasper can document all storm-related issues and provide photos for insurance purposes.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage restoration for architectural shingles?
In most cases, yes. Standard HO-3 and HO-5 homeowners policies list wind, hail, and other storm events as covered perils. If an adjuster confirms the damage is sudden, accidental, and exceeds your deductible, the carrier will typically pay to repair or replace your architectural shingles with materials of like kind and quality. Our team works directly with every major insurer that serves Jasper. We meet the adjuster on-site, provide a detailed Xactimate estimate, and advocate for any code-required upgrades (ice & water shield, enhanced nailing patterns, etc.) so you receive a fair settlement.

How long does a typical architectural shingle roof restoration take in Jasper?
Most single-family homes (2,000–3,000 sq ft of roof area) can be fully restored in one to two days once materials arrive: • Day 1 – Tear-off, decking repairs, underlayment, and majority of shingle installation. • Day 2 – Finish ridges, install ventilation accessories, and complete site clean-up. Complex roofs with multiple facets, steep pitches, or extensive decking replacement could add an extra day. Permit approvals and material lead times usually take 3–7 business days, but we prioritize storm-damage projects to get you dry as quickly as possible.
Can you match the color and style of my existing architectural shingles during restoration, and will the repairs be noticeable?
Yes. Architectural shingles come in dozens of designer colors and blends. We work with the major manufacturers’ current and discontinued palettes to find the closest match. If only a portion of your roof is damaged, we remove shingles at a ridge or valley to create a natural break, minimizing color variation. However, insurance carriers often opt for full-plane or full-roof replacement when an exact match isn’t available to maintain aesthetics and property value. Our goal is a seamless, uniform appearance so neighbors—and potential buyers—can’t tell repairs were ever made.
