FAQs
What kinds of specialty shingles do you install for homeowners in Rockwood?
We offer an extensive selection that includes architectural (dimensional) shingles, designer luxury profiles that mimic slate or cedar, Class-4 impact-resistant shingles for hail protection, algae-resistant shingles with copper-infused granules, and ENERGY STAR® rated cool-roof shingles that reflect more sunlight. All of these lines come from nationally recognized manufacturers such as GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, so you can choose the exact look and performance level that fits your home and budget.
How do specialty shingles outperform standard three-tab asphalt shingles?
Specialty shingles are manufactured in multiple laminated layers, making them up to 50 % thicker than three-tab products. That extra mass delivers wind ratings of 110–130 mph, Class-4 impact resistance, and lifespans of 30–50 years versus 15–20 years for basic shingles. Many premium lines also incorporate reflective granules that can lower attic temperatures by 15–20 °F, reducing summer cooling costs. Finally, their sculpted profiles and deeper shadow lines provide a high-end appearance that can boost curb appeal and resale value.
How long will my specialty shingle roof replacement take in Rockwood?
Most single-family homes (2,000–3,500 sq ft of roof area) are completed in one to three working days. Day 1 is devoted to tear-off, deck inspection, and any necessary repairs. Day 2 covers underlayment, starter strips, and the bulk of shingle installation. Complex designs, steep pitches, or weather delays can push the project into a third day. We obtain the City of Rockwood permit in advance and schedule final inspection immediately after completion to minimize any disruption to your routine.
What is the typical cost of replacing a roof with specialty shingles in the Rockwood area?
Because premium shingles vary widely in material price, installation complexity, and warranty level, costs usually fall between $6 and $9 per square foot. For an average Rockwood home, that translates to roughly $12,000–$25,000. Factors that influence the final figure include roof pitch, number of existing layers to remove, decking repairs, upgraded ventilation, and the specific shingle line you select. We provide a free on-site assessment and a detailed written estimate so there are no surprises.
Are there any local building codes or HOA guidelines I need to follow?
Yes. Rockwood’s building department requires a roofing permit, drip-edge flashing at all eaves and rakes, ice-and-water shield in valleys, and a final inspection. If you live in a neighborhood governed by a homeowners association, color and profile restrictions may also apply. Our team handles all permit paperwork, schedules inspections, and, if needed, supplies product samples and documentation for HOA approval to keep your project compliant and on schedule.
What kind of warranty and ongoing support do you provide after installation?
All of our specialty shingles come with a manufacturer’s limited lifetime material warranty (up to 50 years of non-prorated coverage on select lines). We add a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers installation-related issues at no cost to you. For extra peace of mind, we offer an optional annual maintenance plan that includes a full roof inspection, minor sealant touch-ups, and debris removal, which helps preserve your warranty and extends the life of your new roof.
