FAQs
What premium roofing materials do you offer for roof replacement?
We specialize in high-performance architectural asphalt shingles, standing-seam metal panels (steel, aluminum, and copper), natural and synthetic slate, and hand-split cedar shakes. Each material is sourced from top-tier manufacturers, meets or exceeds Class A fire ratings, and is installed following manufacturer-certified specifications to maximize durability and warranty coverage.
How does the cost of premium roofing materials compare to standard shingles?
Premium materials typically cost 2–4 times more than basic 3-tab asphalt shingles. The final price varies by material: architectural asphalt adds about 20-30 % to the project, metal roofs can be 2–3 × higher, and slate or cedar can reach 3–4 ×. However, the longer service life, reduced maintenance, enhanced curb appeal, and potential energy savings often deliver a lower total cost of ownership over the roof’s lifespan.
What is the life expectancy of a premium material roof?
Architectural asphalt shingles last 30–40 years, metal panels 40–70 years, synthetic slate 50+ years, natural slate 75–100 years, and cedar shakes 30–50 years (with proper maintenance). These lifespans are 1.5–4 times longer than economy roofing options, giving homeowners extended protection and better long-term value.
Are premium roofing materials more energy efficient?
Yes. Many premium products carry Cool Roof or ENERGY STAR ratings, reflecting more solar heat and keeping your attic noticeably cooler. Metal panels can be factory-finished with high-reflectivity coatings, and certain asphalt and synthetic shingles incorporate reflective granules. Reduced attic temperatures lower HVAC demand, which can cut summer energy bills by 7–15 % depending on your climate.
What warranties are available on your premium roof replacement systems?
Manufacturer materials warranties range from 30 years (architectural asphalt) to lifetime coverage (metal, slate, and select synthetics). When installed by our factory-authorized crews, you also qualify for an upgraded, non-prorated workmanship warranty of up to 25 years that covers labor, tear-off, disposal, and replacement materials. We register all warranties on your behalf for seamless future claims.
How long does a premium roof replacement project take from start to finish?
Most residential projects take 1–3 days for architectural asphalt, 3–5 days for metal, and up to 7–10 days for slate or cedar due to their specialized installation steps. The timeline includes tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, ventilation upgrades, and final clean-up. Weather, roof complexity, and material availability can extend schedules, but we provide a detailed project calendar before work begins and keep you updated daily.
