FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they differ from traditional 3-tab shingles?
Architectural (also called dimensional or laminate) shingles are multi-layered asphalt shingles designed to mimic the depth and shadow lines of wood shakes or slate. Unlike 3-tab shingles, which are a single, flat layer, architectural shingles have a thicker base mat and multiple layers of asphalt that are bonded together. This gives them superior durability, enhanced wind resistance, a longer manufacturer warranty (often 30–50 years versus 20–25 years for 3-tab), and a more attractive, dimensional appearance that can boost curb appeal and resale value.
How long can I expect an architectural shingle roof to last in Petros’s climate?
When professionally installed and properly ventilated, architectural shingles typically last 30–40 years in the Petros area. The region’s moderate winters and hot, humid summers are well within the performance range of today’s premium asphalt formulations, which include UV-resistant granules and algae-inhibiting technology. Routine maintenance—such as annual inspections, gutter cleaning, and prompt repair of any storm damage—helps maximize service life and keeps your manufacturer warranty intact.
Can architectural shingles withstand the high winds and occasional severe storms common in East Tennessee?
Yes. Quality architectural shingles are rated for winds up to 110–130 mph, and many can be upgraded to 150 mph with enhanced fastening patterns. Their heavier weight, multi-layer construction, and staggered, laminated design give them stronger uplift resistance than 3-tab products. When paired with proper underlayment, ice-and-water shield in vulnerable valleys, and code-compliant flashing, an architectural shingle roof provides excellent protection against Petros’s thunderstorms, hail, and occasional high-wind events.
What siding options do you offer, and how do I choose the right material for my home?
We install vinyl, fiber-cement (e.g., Hardie®), engineered wood, and insulated vinyl siding. Your choice depends on budget, desired aesthetic, maintenance tolerance, and energy-efficiency goals: • Vinyl: Cost-effective, color-fast, low maintenance. • Insulated Vinyl: Same benefits as standard vinyl plus a rigid foam backing that can add R-3–R-4 to wall insulation. • Fiber-Cement: Resembles wood or stucco, resists fire, insects, and rot, holds paint well, but is heavier and slightly higher cost. • Engineered Wood: Authentic wood grain with moisture-resistant resins; requires periodic repainting but offers rich curb appeal. Our consultants provide samples, explain warranties, and use digital mockups so you can visualize each option on your Petros home.
What is the typical installation timeline for a combined roof and siding project?
A standard single-family home in Petros usually takes 1–2 days for architectural shingle installation and 3–5 additional days for new siding, depending on house size, material choice, and weather. We start with a detailed pre-construction meeting, protect landscaping, remove existing materials, inspect sheathing and wall substrates, make any necessary repairs, then install underlayment, flashing, shingles, house wrap, and siding. Daily cleanup is included, and a final walkthrough ensures everything meets local building codes and your satisfaction.
Do you offer financing, warranties, or help with insurance claims?
Absolutely. We partner with local banks and national lenders to provide low-interest financing, same-as-cash promotional periods, and flexible terms up to 120 months. All architectural shingle systems come with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty and our own 10-year workmanship guarantee. For siding, fiber-cement carries up to a 30-year transferable warranty, vinyl up to a lifetime limited warranty, and our labor warranty matches the roofing coverage. If your project involves storm damage, our team can meet with your adjuster, document the damage, and submit estimates to streamline the claims process for Petros homeowners.
