FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing asphalt shingles for my Lake City home?
Asphalt shingles remain Lake City’s most popular roofing material because they balance affordability, durability, and aesthetic versatility. They come in many colors and profiles, complementing both traditional and modern siding styles. Shingles are lightweight, so they seldom require extra structural reinforcement, and they’re easy to repair or replace in small sections. Most brands we install carry Class A fire ratings and resist algae growth—an asset in our humid, rainy climate.
How long can I expect an asphalt shingle roof to last in Lake City’s climate?
With proper installation and ventilation, modern architectural shingles last 20–30 years in North Florida’s hot summers and stormy winters. Impact-rated or premium laminated shingles can extend life to 35 years. Routine inspections after major storms, timely repairs, and keeping gutters clear all help you reach the upper end of that life span.
Can you install new siding at the same time you replace my asphalt shingle roof?
Yes. Coordinating roofing and siding work saves time and minimizes disruption because we can use the same scaffolding, dumpsters, and labor crew. It also lets us align color palettes, flashing details, and ventilation improvements across both systems, giving your home a seamless exterior makeover. Bundling the projects often reduces overall labor costs and may qualify you for manufacturer system warranties.
How do asphalt shingles perform against the heavy rain and high winds common in Lake City?
The shingles we install are rated for wind speeds up to 130 mph and feature reinforced nailing strips to resist uplift. We follow manufacturer six-nail patterns and use ice-and-water shield in valleys and around penetrations to prevent leaks from wind-driven rain. Proper attic ventilation and ridge vents further reduce the chance of moisture buildup that can lead to shingle curling or deck rot.
What maintenance is required to keep my asphalt shingle roof and new siding in good condition?
Schedule professional roof inspections once a year and after severe storms. Clear debris from gutters so water can’t back up under shingles or behind siding panels. Trim overhanging branches to limit abrasion and moss growth. Wash vinyl or fiber-cement siding with a garden hose and mild detergent annually; avoid pressure-washing asphalt shingles because it can dislodge protective granules. Replace cracked caulk around windows, doors, and flashing every few years.
Do you offer financing or insurance-claim assistance for roofing and siding projects in Lake City?
Absolutely. We partner with local lenders that provide low-interest, same-as-cash financing plans, allowing you to spread payments over 12–60 months. If your roof or siding was damaged by wind or hail, our in-house claims specialists will meet with your adjuster, supply documentation, and negotiate fair coverage so you receive the maximum benefit under your policy.
