FAQs
What are architectural shingles, and how do they differ from traditional 3-tab shingles?
Architectural (also called dimensional or laminated) shingles are a premium asphalt roofing product made by bonding two or more shingle layers together. This creates a thicker, sculpted profile that imitates the look of wood shakes or slate. Compared with 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles: • Weigh more and have a higher wind rating (up to 130 mph vs. 60–70 mph). • Contain more asphalt and granules, which boosts lifespan and impact resistance. • Offer deeper shadow lines and varied tones for enhanced curb appeal. • Typically carry longer material warranties (30 years to Lifetime instead of 20–25 years).
How long will an architectural shingle roof last in Maryville’s climate?
Most architectural shingles are rated for 30–50 years, but actual service life varies with weather, roof pitch, and maintenance. In Maryville, where we see hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and freeze-thaw cycles, a properly installed architectural shingle roof usually lasts 25–35 years. Annual inspections, prompt repair of flashing, and clear attic ventilation can extend service life toward the upper end of that range.
Will upgrading to architectural shingles increase my home’s resale value and curb appeal?
Yes. The thicker, textured appearance of architectural shingles adds dimension and depth, giving your roof a high-end look similar to cedar shakes at a fraction of the cost. Local real-estate data show that homes in Maryville with architectural shingle roofs often recoup 60–70 percent of the installation costs when sold, while also shortening time on market thanks to improved aesthetics and the perception of a newer, more durable roof.
What does a roof replacement with architectural shingles cost in Maryville, and what factors affect pricing?
For a typical single-family home (2,000–2,400 sq ft of roof area), full replacement with architectural shingles in Maryville usually ranges from $4.50 to $6.50 per square foot, or $9,000–$15,000 total. Key cost factors include: • Roof size and steepness (greater pitch requires extra safety measures and labor). • Removal and disposal of existing layers. • Decking repairs or replacement if wood is damaged. • Choice of shingle brand/style (standard architectural vs. designer laminate). • Upgrades such as ridge vents, ice-and-water shield, and metal drip edge. • Local permit fees and sales tax.
What is the roof replacement process, and how long will the job take?
1. Inspection & estimate: We assess decking, flashing, ventilation, and provide a detailed quote. 2. Permits & scheduling: We secure Maryville building permits and schedule around weather. 3. Tear-off: Crews remove old shingles, underlayment, and nails, protecting landscaping with tarps. 4. Decking repairs: Any rotten sheathing is replaced. 5. Underlayment & flashing: Ice-and-water shield at eaves/valleys, synthetic underlayment elsewhere, and new step, counter, and chimney flashing. 6. Shingle installation: Architectural shingles are installed with manufacturer-specified nailing patterns, followed by ridge caps and vents. 7. Cleanup & inspection: Magnetic sweep for nails, final walkthrough, and city inspection. Most Maryville homes are completed in 1–2 days, though larger or very steep roofs can take up to 4 days.
Do I have to remove my old roof before installing architectural shingles, and what warranties are available?
Roof-over installations are technically allowed if only one existing layer is present, but we strongly recommend a full tear-off. Removing old shingles lets us inspect the deck, replace flashing, and ensures your new roof performs to its rated life span. Most manufacturers also limit warranty coverage on layovers. When we install a new architectural shingle roof with a complete system (starter, hip/ridge caps, and approved underlayment), you receive: • Manufacturer’s Limited Lifetime material warranty (non-prorated 10-15 years). • Enhanced wind warranty up to 130 mph when installed to spec. • Our 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks related to installation.
