FAQs
What types of asphalt shingles perform best in Newcomb’s climate?
In Newcomb, we experience hot, humid summers and occasional strong storms, so architectural (dimensional) shingles are generally recommended. They are thicker than traditional 3-tab shingles, provide better wind resistance—typically up to 130 mph—and have enhanced UV protection to handle summer heat. If you want the ultimate in durability, consider Class 4 impact-rated shingles, which resist hail damage and may qualify for insurance discounts.
How long can I expect a new shingle roof to last in Newcomb?
With proper installation and ventilation, architectural asphalt shingles last 25–30 years in Newcomb. Premium or Class 4 shingles can push that life span closer to 40 years. Regular inspections, prompt repair of minor damage, and keeping gutters clear will all help you reach—or exceed—the manufacturer’s stated life expectancy.
What is the average cost of a shingle roof replacement in Newcomb?
Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, shingle grade, and underlayment options, but most Newcomb homeowners spend between $4.50 and $7.50 per square foot installed. For an average 2,000-square-foot roof (20 squares), that translates to roughly $9,000–$15,000. This figure includes tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, flashing, and labor, but specialty features like skylights or steep pitches can raise the total.
Do I need any permits or inspections to replace my roof in Newcomb?
Yes. The Town of Newcomb requires a building permit for full roof replacements. Your contractor should obtain it and schedule any required inspections, typically a sheathing inspection before shingles go on and a final inspection afterward. Working with a licensed, insured roofer ensures the project meets local codes and avoids costly stop-work orders.
How long does the installation process usually take?
Most single-family homes in Newcomb can be completely re-shingled in 1–3 days once materials are on-site. Day 1 involves tear-off and decking inspection; Day 2 covers underlayment, flashing, and the bulk of shingle installation; Day 3 (if needed) is for detail work and cleanup. Weather delays are rare in summer but can add a day in spring or fall.
What maintenance is required to keep my asphalt shingles in top condition?
Schedule a professional roof inspection every 2–3 years or after major storms, keep gutters and downspouts clear, trim overhanging branches, and address moss or algae with approved cleaning solutions. Replace damaged shingles promptly and ensure attic ventilation remains unobstructed. These steps prevent premature aging and protect your manufacturer warranty.
