FAQs
What are architectural shingles and why are they ideal for Mountain City’s climate?
Architectural shingles are a laminated asphalt roofing product made of multiple layers bonded together for extra thickness, depth, and dimensional appearance. Mountain City’s higher elevation brings significant temperature swings, strong UV exposure, and occasional heavy winds. The added weight and robust construction of architectural shingles give them a higher wind rating (up to 130 mph) and greater impact resistance than standard 3-tab shingles. Their UV-stabilized granules also prevent premature fading and deterioration caused by intense mountain sun, making them a smart, long-lasting choice for local homes.
How long can I expect my architectural shingle roof to last compared with traditional 3-tab shingles?
While a conventional 3-tab asphalt roof generally lasts 15–20 years under Mountain City weather conditions, architectural shingles routinely achieve 25–30+ years of service life—and often longer if properly ventilated and maintained. The thicker, multi-layer design resists curling and shingle blow-off, so homeowners gain roughly a decade of additional protection and avoid the labor and disposal costs of an earlier replacement.
Can new siding installations really improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. Modern insulated vinyl or fiber-cement siding systems include rigid foam backers that add an R-value of 2–4 to your exterior walls. Combined with house-wrap and properly sealed joints, this reduces air infiltration, stabilizes indoor temperatures, and can lower heating and cooling bills by 10-15 %. In a mountain climate where winters can be harsh, that extra insulation keeps indoor comfort high and furnace runtimes low.
What is the typical timeline and process for a combined roofing and siding project?
For an average 2,000 sq ft home, a full architectural shingle roof replacement takes 2–3 days, and siding removal/installation adds another 4–6 days, depending on complexity. Our process is: 1) Free on-site inspection and detailed estimate 2) Material selection and color consultation 3) Scheduling and permit acquisition (1–2 weeks lead time) 4) Roof tear-off, deck repair if needed, underlayment, and shingle installation 5) Siding removal, moisture-barrier wrap, flashing, and new siding installation 6) Final walkthrough, debris cleanup, and warranty documentation. Weather can impact timing, but most projects wrap up in 7–10 working days.
Do you offer manufacturer and workmanship warranties on architectural shingles and siding?
Absolutely. Our preferred architectural shingles come with a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty and a 10-year algae-resistance guarantee. We supplement that with a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty covering installation-related issues such as leaks, improper flashing, or siding blow-off. Should any problem arise during the warranty period, we handle the claim and perform repairs at no cost to you.
How much maintenance will my new architectural shingle roof and siding require?
Maintenance is straightforward: • Roof – Inspect visually twice a year and after major storms, clear gutters and downspouts, and keep branches trimmed back. No chemical cleaning is needed unless algae appears; in that case, a gentle, manufacturer-approved wash is sufficient. • Siding – Hose down annually to remove dirt and pollen. Check caulking around windows and doors every few years and re-seal if gaps appear. With these simple steps, your roofing and siding system will stay attractive and functional for decades.
