FAQs
What are architectural shingles and why are they a smart choice for homes in Pigeon Forge?
Architectural shingles—also called dimensional or laminate shingles—are a premium asphalt product made with multiple layers of fiberglass mat and mineral-coated asphalt. Their thicker profile provides a sculpted, wood-shake look that complements Pigeon Forge’s mountain architecture while delivering superior wind, impact, and algae resistance compared with traditional 3-tab shingles.
How long can I expect architectural shingles to last in the Smoky Mountains climate?
In Pigeon Forge, properly installed architectural shingles typically last 25–30 years, and many manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties. Their heavier construction helps them withstand the area’s freeze–thaw cycles, occasional hail, and high UV exposure, giving them 8–12 more years of service life than standard 3-tab shingles.
Are architectural shingles rated to handle the high winds that sweep through Sevier County?
Yes. Most leading brands carry wind ratings from 110 mph to 130 mph, and when installed with the manufacturer’s recommended starter strips and six-nail pattern, some carry enhanced warranties up to 150 mph. This makes them ideal for the sudden gusts and storm fronts common in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
What siding options pair well with architectural shingles for a cohesive exterior makeover?
We offer vinyl, fiber-cement, engineered wood, and insulated siding. Vinyl is budget-friendly and low-maintenance, while fiber-cement provides a realistic wood grain with exceptional fire resistance—important in a region susceptible to wildfires. Engineered wood delivers natural warmth, and insulated panels improve energy efficiency. All options come in color palettes designed to coordinate with today’s popular shingle lines for a unified curb appeal.
How much does it cost to install a new architectural shingle roof and siding in Pigeon Forge?
Roofing costs range from $4.50–$7.50 per square foot installed, depending on shingle brand, roof complexity, and underlayment upgrades. Siding runs $6–$11 per square foot for vinyl, $9–$14 for fiber-cement, and $10–$15 for engineered wood. We provide free on-site assessments and itemized quotes so you know exactly what to budget before work begins.
Do you help with insurance claims and local permits for roof and siding projects?
Absolutely. We work directly with insurers to document storm damage, meet adjusters, and expedite claims. Our team also secures all required building permits from the City of Pigeon Forge and Sevier County, ensuring your project meets International Residential Code (IRC) standards and passes final inspection without hassle.
