FAQs
What makes premium shingles different from standard asphalt shingles?
Premium shingles are engineered with multiple laminated layers of fiberglass-reinforced asphalt and high-definition mineral granules. This construction gives them a thicker profile, richer color blends, and enhanced dimensionality that mimics slate or cedar shakes—without the weight or cost of those materials. Structurally, premium shingles carry higher wind ratings (up to 130 mph), Class A fire resistance, and stronger impact ratings than basic 3-tab or mid-grade architectural shingles. For homeowners in Lake City, those upgrades translate into better storm performance, longer service life, and improved curb appeal that can increase resale value.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof installed by Roofing Done Right to last in Lake City’s climate?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, our premium shingle systems typically last 30–40 years in North Florida. The shingles are treated with advanced UV stabilizers and copper-infused granules that slow color fading and inhibit algae growth common in Lake City’s hot, humid environment. They also meet Florida Building Code wind uplift standards, so they withstand tropical–storm gusts that can shorten the life of lesser roofs. Annual inspections, timely debris removal, and gutter cleaning will help you reach—or even exceed—the upper end of the life expectancy range.
What is the typical timeline and process for replacing my roof with premium shingles?
1. On-site evaluation (1–2 hours): Our project manager inspects your existing roof, attic ventilation, and decking, then provides a detailed written estimate. 2. Material selection & permitting (3–5 days): You choose your shingle style and color; we secure the Lake City permit and schedule the job. 3. Tear-off & decking repairs (1 day for most homes): Old shingles are removed, and any damaged plywood is replaced. 4. Weatherproofing (½ day): We install synthetic underlayment, leak-barrier ice-and-water shield in valleys, starter strips, and drip edge. 5. Shingle installation & ventilation upgrades (1–2 days): Premium shingles, ridge vents, and flashings are installed to manufacturer specs. 6. Cleanup & final inspection (same day): Debris is magnetically swept up, and the city and manufacturer inspections are completed. Most single-family homes are fully reroofed in 2–3 working days, weather permitting.
Are premium shingles more energy-efficient and can they help reduce my utility bills?
Yes. Many premium shingle lines carry ENERGY STAR® or Cool Roof ratings, meaning they reflect more solar heat than standard dark shingles. Lighter, highly reflective granule blends can lower roof-surface temperatures by up to 50 °F, reducing attic heat gain and easing the load on your HVAC system during Lake City’s long summers. When paired with balanced ridge-to-eave ventilation, homeowners often see 5–15 % savings on cooling costs. While energy savings vary, the improved thermal performance contributes to greater indoor comfort and can extend the life of your A/C equipment.
What warranties do you offer on materials and workmanship?
Roofing Done Right is a certified installer for the leading premium-shingle manufacturers. That status allows us to register enhanced, non-prorated material warranties of 30, 40, or even 50 years, depending on the exact shingle line you choose. These warranties cover manufacturing defects—including color fading and granule loss—for the full term. In addition, we back every roof with a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty that covers leaks caused by installation errors. Because both material and labor coverage are transferable once, they can be a selling point if you decide to move within the warranty period.
How much does a premium shingles roof cost in Lake City and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and the specific premium shingle selected, but most Lake City homeowners invest between $5.50 and $8.50 per square foot installed. For a 2,000 sq ft roof, that works out to roughly $11,000–$17,000. The quote we provide is all-inclusive—materials, labor, permit, tear-off disposal, and final inspection fees—so there are no surprise add-ons. To make budgeting easier, we offer 0 % same-as-cash plans up to 18 months and long-term low-APR loans up to 12 years through our lending partners. Our team can pre-qualify you in minutes with no impact on your credit score.
