FAQs
What distinguishes premium shingles from standard asphalt shingles for homes in Newport?
Premium shingles are manufactured with heavier fiberglass mats, multiple asphalt layers, and enhanced UV-resistant granules. They offer superior wind ratings (up to 130 mph), thicker profiles that mimic slate or cedar, longer warranties (often 30–50 years), and richer color blends—important in Newport’s coastal climate where salt air, high winds, and intense sun can accelerate wear on basic three-tab shingles.
How long can I expect a premium shingle roof to last in Newport’s coastal environment?
When installed correctly and ventilated properly, premium shingles typically last 30–40 years in Newport. Their algae-resistant granules combat seaside moisture, while reinforced nail zones and sealant strips withstand Nor’easter winds. Regular inspections after major storms will help you reach the upper end of the life span.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Newport, and will you handle the paperwork?
Yes. The City of Newport requires a building permit for any roof replacement. Our team handles the entire permitting process—application, fee payment, and scheduling of inspections—ensuring your new roof meets local building codes, historic-district guidelines where applicable, and manufacturer specifications.
What is the typical installation timeline for a premium shingle roof replacement?
For an average 2,000 sq ft Newport home, tear-off and installation usually take 2–4 days, weather permitting. Day 1 covers material delivery and old-roof removal; Day 2 includes deck inspection, repairs, and underlayment; Day 3–4 we install the premium shingles, flashings, and ridge vent, followed by a full site cleanup. Larger or more complex roofs may add one extra day.
How much does a premium shingle roof replacement cost in Newport?
Costs vary with roof size, pitch, substrate repairs, and chosen shingle line, but most Newport homeowners invest between $6.50 and $9.50 per square foot ($13,000–$19,000 for a 2,000 sq ft roof). This price includes tear-off, disposal, ice-and-water shield, new flashing, ridge ventilation, permit fees, and a workmanship warranty.
What warranties and maintenance are required to keep my premium shingle warranty valid?
Most manufacturers provide a limited lifetime material warranty and a 10–25-year algae-resistance warranty when installed by a certified contractor. We add a 15-year workmanship warranty. To maintain coverage, you need annual visual inspections, debris removal from gutters, immediate repair of storm damage, and documentation of any maintenance—services we offer through our affordable maintenance plan.
