FAQs
How long does an asphalt-shingle roof typically last in Kingston’s climate?
In Kingston’s four-season climate, quality architectural asphalt shingles usually last 20–25 years. Proper attic ventilation, routine inspections after heavy storms, and timely repairs can extend that life toward the high end of the range. If your roof is older than 20 years, shows widespread granule loss, curling shingles, or leaks, it is time to consider replacement.
What is the average cost to replace an asphalt-shingle roof in Kingston?
Costs depend on house size, roof pitch, shingle style, and any deck or flashing repairs. In 2024, most Kingston homeowners pay $5.50–$7.50 per square foot of roof area, all-inclusive. A typical 1,800-sq-ft roof (about 18 roofing squares) runs $9,900–$13,500. We provide free on-site assessments and written estimates so you know your exact investment before work begins.
How long will the roof replacement take?
For an average detached home, tear-off and installation are normally completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Steeper roofs, complex valleys or dormers, and plywood replacement can add an extra day. We schedule materials and crews so disruption to your routine is minimal, and we leave your property clean at the end of each workday.
Do I need a permit for a roof replacement in Kingston, and will you handle it?
Yes. The City of Kingston requires a building permit for full roof replacement projects. As a licensed roofing contractor, we obtain the permit, coordinate any necessary inspections, and include associated fees in your written quote. You don’t have to navigate municipal paperwork—we handle it for you.
Are asphalt shingles suitable for Kingston’s heavy snow and wind conditions?
Modern laminated (architectural) shingles are designed to withstand winds up to 209 km/h (130 mph) and have enhanced adhesive strips that resist uplift. When installed with proper ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, they shed snow and prevent ice-dam leaks. We also use six-nail fastening patterns and install ridge vents that reduce attic heat, further preventing ice dams in Kingston winters.
What happens to my old shingles and roofing debris?
We protect your landscaping with drop cloths and magnetic rollers, then remove all debris the same day. Shingles are taken to an approved recycling facility where they are processed into asphalt road base, diverting waste from landfills. The disposal and recycling fees are included in your contract price, so there are no surprise charges.
