Homeowners in Ten Mile know how quickly our lakeside breezes can turn into pounding storms, so every roof has to stand up to more than just sunshine.

From the first phone call to the last nail, our licensed crews treat your property with respect, laying down protective tarps, cleaning up meticulously, and finishing most projects in a single day. That’s what we call roofing done right.

That’s why every HEP roof comes with upgraded ventilation, ice-and-water shielding in vulnerable valleys, and a workmanship warranty that actually means something.

FAQs
What distinguishes premium shingles from standard asphalt shingles?
Premium shingles are manufactured with thicker asphalt mats, enhanced fiberglass reinforcement, and multi-layered construction. This gives them superior impact resistance, higher wind ratings (up to 130 mph), deeper dimensional texture that mimics wood shake or slate, and a broader color palette. They also carry longer manufacturer warranties—typically 30 to 50 years—versus 20 to 25 years for standard three-tab shingles.
How long can a premium shingle roof last in Ten Mile’s climate?
With proper installation and ventilation, premium architectural shingles routinely last 30 to 40 years in Ten Mile. The thicker shingle body resists the area’s strong UV exposure, summer humidity, and periodic wind storms far better than economy shingles. Annual inspections and timely gutter cleaning maximize life expectancy and keep the manufacturer warranty in force.
Does a premium shingle roof improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. Many premium shingle lines include solar-reflective granules that bounce more infrared radiation away from the roof, keeping attic temperatures lower and easing the load on HVAC systems. When combined with correct attic insulation and ridge-to-soffit ventilation, homeowners in Ten Mile often see noticeable reductions in summer cooling costs.
What warranties are included with your premium shingle installations?
We provide a dual warranty. First, the manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty covers material defects for up to 50 years (prorated after the non-prorated period). Second, we supply our own 10-year workmanship warranty that guarantees leak-free performance when all recommended maintenance is performed. Both warranties are fully transferable one time if you sell your home.
How can I tell if my existing roof needs replacement or just repair?
Look for curling, cracked, or missing shingles; excessive granules in gutters; water stains in the attic; or sagging roof decking. Because premium shingles weigh more than three-tab shingles, the roof deck and flashing must be sound before upgrade. We offer free on-site inspections in Ten Mile and provide photo documentation so you can decide confidently between repair and replacement.
What is the installation timeline and process for a premium shingle roof in Ten Mile?
Most residential projects take 2–3 working days. Day 1: set up safety equipment, strip old shingles, inspect decking, and replace damaged wood. Day 2: install ice-and-water shield, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, and new flashing, then begin shingle application with starter course and ridge ventilation. Day 3: complete shingle installation, seal penetrations, perform magnet sweep for nails, and haul away debris. Weather delays are rare but safety-driven; we’ll keep you updated throughout the job.
