FAQs
What are architectural shingles and how do they differ from 3-tab shingles?
Architectural shingles, also called dimensional or laminate shingles, are made from multiple layers of asphalt that are laminated together to create a thicker, three-dimensional appearance that mimics wood shakes. Unlike flat, single-layer 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles have varied shapes and depths, providing greater curb appeal, better wind resistance (up to 130 mph with proper installation), and a longer life expectancy.
How long do architectural asphalt shingles last in Seymour’s climate?
With correct installation and ventilation, architectural shingles in Seymour typically last 25–30 years, and premium products can exceed 35 years. Our region’s temperature swings, summer humidity, and occasional snowfall make regular attic ventilation and annual maintenance important to achieve the full lifespan.
Are architectural shingles suitable for the snow, wind, and humidity we experience in Seymour?
Yes. Architectural shingles are manufactured with heavier mats and higher asphalt content, giving them superior wind uplift ratings, better impact resistance, and less likelihood of warping from humidity. Most major brands are engineered to meet ASTM D7158 Class F (110 mph) or Class H (130 mph) wind standards, and their added thickness sheds snow more effectively than 3-tab alternatives.
What is the typical cost of installing architectural shingles on a home in Seymour?
Pricing varies by roof size, pitch, and accessory requirements, but most Seymour homeowners spend $4.25–$6.50 per square foot installed. For a 2,000 sq ft roof (20 squares), that translates to roughly $8,500–$13,000. The estimate includes tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ridge vents, and disposal fees. We provide free on-site measurements so you receive an exact quote before work begins.
Can architectural shingles be installed over my existing roof, or will the old roofing need to be removed?
Seymour’s building code allows a maximum of two roof layers. If your home currently has one layer and the decking is sound, a layover may be possible. However, we usually recommend a complete tear-off so we can inspect the sheathing, replace damaged decking, install ice-and-water shields at eaves, and ensure the new shingles carry their full manufacturer warranty.
What warranties are available for architectural shingle roofs installed by your company in Seymour?
All architectural shingle manufacturers offer limited lifetime material warranties that protect against manufacturing defects. When we install a complete roofing system—including starter strips, hip & ridge caps, and approved underlayment—we can register an upgraded 50-year non-prorated warranty backed by the manufacturer. Additionally, our workmanship is covered by a 10-year labor warranty, giving you full peace of mind.
