FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they benefit my Palmer home?
Architectural shingles—also called dimensional or laminated shingles—are a premium asphalt roofing product made with multiple layers of fiberglass-reinforced asphalt. The layered construction adds a three-dimensional look that mimics slate or cedar shakes while delivering superior performance. For Palmer homeowners, architectural shingles offer: • Higher wind resistance (up to 130 mph) for the gusty New England weather. • Thicker asphalt layers that resist hail, heavy snow loads, and freeze–thaw cycles. • Longer manufacturer warranties—typically 30 years to lifetime—compared with 3-tab shingles. • Better curb appeal and improved resale value thanks to deeper shadow lines and richer color blends.
How do Palmer’s climate conditions influence the roofing and siding materials you recommend?
Palmer experiences wide temperature swings, heavy snowfall, and periodic nor’easters. We recommend: • Roofing: Architectural asphalt shingles with algae-resistant granules, ice-and-water shield underlayment, and a fully vented attic system to prevent ice dams. • Metal roofing is another option for homeowners seeking 50+ years of service life and exceptional snow-shedding. • Siding: Insulated vinyl or fiber-cement panels that won’t warp in humidity, resist impact from wind-borne debris, and carry fade-resistant finishes. • All materials we install are rated for at least 110 mph winds and tested for New England freeze–thaw durability.
How long does a typical roofing or siding installation take in Palmer?
Time frames vary by home size and scope, but a general guide is: • Architectural asphalt roof (2,000–3,000 sq ft): 1–2 days, weather permitting. • Complete tear-off and install of metal roof: 2–3 days. • Full-house vinyl or fiber-cement siding (2,000 sq ft façade): 4–7 days. We schedule projects outside of forecasted storms and set up protective tarps to keep your property safe if weather shifts unexpectedly.
What warranties do you provide on new roofing and siding systems?
We are certified by the leading manufacturers, allowing us to offer: • Roofing: Up to 50-year non-prorated manufacturer warranty on materials, plus a 10-year workmanship guarantee from our company. • Siding: Limited lifetime material warranty (vinyl) or 30-year finish warranty (fiber-cement) along with a 5-year workmanship warranty. All warranties are transferable once, adding value if you sell your home.
How can I tell whether I need a full replacement or just repairs?
Signs that point toward replacement include: • Roofing: Curling or missing shingles, granule loss exposing black asphalt, sagging roof deck, leaks in multiple areas, or a roof older than 20 years. • Siding: Cracks, warping, mold under panels, frequent repainting needs, or energy bills creeping up from lost insulation. We provide a free on-site inspection using drones and moisture meters. Afterward, we give an itemized report and photo documentation so you can make an informed decision.
Do you offer financing or help with insurance claims for Palmer homeowners?
Yes. We partner with local banks and a national home-improvement lender to provide low-interest financing with terms from 12 to 120 months. For storm damage, our team works directly with your insurance adjuster, providing documentation, shingle matches, and code-upgrade pricing to maximize your claim. There is no additional fee for our claim assistance service.
