FAQs
What are premium shingles and why should I choose them for my Madisonville home?
Premium (also called "architectural" or "designer") shingles are thicker, multi-layered asphalt shingles engineered to outlast and outperform standard three-tab products. They offer a dimensional appearance that can mimic slate or cedar, boost curb appeal, and add measurable resale value. For Madisonville homeowners, premium shingles are a smart investment because they include advanced UV granules that resist our intense summer sun, stronger mats that stand up to the high winds common during spring storms, and algae-blocking technology that helps prevent the dark streaks often seen in our humid climate.
How long does a typical premium shingle roof replacement take?
Once materials are on site and the crew is scheduled, most Madisonville homes (2,000–3,000 sq ft) can be torn off and fully re-roofed with premium shingles in 1–2 working days. Larger or more complex roofs with steep pitches, multiple valleys, or extensive decking repairs may take 3–4 days. Weather can also affect the schedule; for safety, we pause operations if lightning, heavy rain, or high winds are forecast.
What is the average cost of upgrading to premium shingles in Madisonville?
Prices vary with roof size, slope, decking condition, and shingle line, but homeowners typically invest $5 to $7 per square foot for a full premium-shingle replacement. That figure includes tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ridge vents, disposal, and labor. Compared with standard three-tabs, expect a 15–25 % price bump, which is offset by a longer life span, better energy efficiency, and often lower insurance premiums. We provide free, no-obligation written estimates so you know exact costs before work begins.
Will premium shingles stand up to Madisonville’s severe weather?
Yes. We only install shingles that carry a 110–130 mph wind rating, Class A fire rating, and Class 3 or 4 impact rating. These specifications help protect against the straight-line winds and occasional hail events we see in the Madisonville area. In addition, we use manufacturer-approved starter strips, six-nail fastening patterns, and synthetic underlayment to maximize storm performance. Proper attic ventilation is included to prevent heat buildup and ice dams, further extending roof life.
What warranties do you offer on materials and workmanship?
Most premium shingle lines come with a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty (often defined as 50 years, prorated after year 10). When we install the full roofing system—including matching hip/ridge caps, underlayment, and vents—clients are eligible for an upgraded non-prorated "system" warranty of 25–50 years that is transferable once. We also back our labor with a 10-year workmanship warranty, covering leaks due to installation errors at no cost to you.
Do you help with insurance claims and local permitting?
Absolutely. If your roof damage is storm-related, we can meet with your adjuster, supply photos, and provide the Xactimate scope required by most carriers. Our team understands Madisonville building codes and secures the necessary city or parish permits before work begins. After installation, you receive a detailed completion packet with warranty registrations, product documentation, and proof of permit closure for your records.
