FAQs
What makes your “Premium Shingles – Roofing Done Right” system different from a standard shingle roof?
Our premium package combines Class A asphalt architectural shingles with upgraded underlayment, ice-and-water shield in all vulnerable areas, high-profile ridge caps, stainless steel ring-shank nails, and a fully vented ridge system. This integrated approach exceeds manufacturer installation specs, giving you higher wind resistance (130 mph rated), deeper shadow lines for curb appeal, and a 50-year non-prorated material warranty—features not found in entry-level 3-tab or basic architectural roofs.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof to last in Morristown’s climate?
With proper installation and ventilation, premium architectural shingles routinely last 25–35 years in Morristown, where winters bring freeze–thaw cycles and summers can be humid. The algae-resistant granules and thicker asphalt core help the shingles resist curling, granule loss, and UV degradation. Annual maintenance and attic ventilation checks can push life expectancy toward the upper end of that range.
Will premium shingles stand up to Morristown’s high winds, snow, and ice?
Yes. Our preferred shingles carry a 130 mph wind rating when installed with six nails per shingle and factory-approved starter strips. The enhanced sealant strip “self-bonds” in the first warm days after installation, virtually eliminating blow-offs. Beneath the shingles, we install ice-and-water membrane 6 ft. up from all eaves and in valleys, blocking ice-dam water intrusion. The added weight and thickness of premium shingles also help shed heavy snow loads without cracking.
How much more do premium shingles cost compared with standard options?
On average, upgrading from a basic architectural shingle to our premium system adds about 15–20 percent to the overall roof investment. For a typical 2,000 sq-ft Morristown home, that equates to roughly $1,800–$2,500 more. However, the longer service life, enhanced curb appeal, and higher manufacturer warranty often offset the upfront cost through reduced repairs, higher resale value, and potential homeowners-insurance discounts.
What warranties are included, and who registers them?
You receive two layers of protection: (1) a 50-year manufacturer’s non-prorated material warranty covering defects in the shingles, and (2) our 15-year workmanship warranty that protects against installation-related leaks. We register both warranties on your behalf and give you the confirmation paperwork upon final payment, ensuring coverage is active for future resale or claim needs.
How long will installation take, and what can I do to prepare?
Most Morristown residences require 1–2 working days, weather permitting. Larger or steep-slope roofs may take up to three days. To prepare, please: move vehicles away from the driveway, secure wall décor inside (hammering can cause vibration), keep pets indoors, and mark sprinkler heads or garden features. We handle all permits, protect landscaping with drop cloths, and provide daily magnetic nail sweeps so your property is clean and usable each evening.
