FAQs
What are architectural shingles and why should I choose them for my Wartburg roof replacement?
Architectural (also called dimensional or laminated) shingles are a premium asphalt product made of multiple shingle layers bonded together for extra thickness and contour. Compared with traditional 3-tab shingles, they offer richer, high-definition textures that mimic cedar or slate, superior wind resistance up to 130 mph, and a longer life span. In Wartburg’s mix of hot summers, heavy rains, and occasional high winds, the added heft and sealant lines on architectural shingles provide better protection, fewer blow-offs, and enhanced curb appeal that can boost property value.
How long do premium architectural shingles last in Wartburg’s climate?
Manufacturer life-expectancy ratings run 30-50 years, but real-world service life depends on local weather and proper installation. In Wartburg, where temperatures swing from freezing winters to humid summers, you can realistically expect 25-35 years of trouble-free performance from a high-quality architectural shingle roof that is correctly ventilated and inspected annually. The thicker mat and multiple asphalt layers resist thermal cracking and granule loss better than basic shingles, extending usable life by roughly 10 years over a standard 3-tab roof.
What does a premium architectural shingle roof replacement typically cost in Wartburg?
Costs vary with roof size, pitch, tear-off requirements, and ventilation upgrades, but most Wartburg homeowners spend between $4.25 and $6.50 per square foot of roof surface. For an average 2,000-square-foot roof (about 20 squares), that translates to roughly $8,500–$13,000 all-in. The quote we provide includes removal of old shingles, underlayment, flashing, ridge vent, disposal fees, and labor by certified installers—no surprise add-ons. We also offer financing options and can assist with insurance claims when storm damage is involved.
What kind of warranties come with your premium architectural shingle installations?
You receive two layers of protection: 1) A manufacturer’s limited lifetime material warranty (non-prorated for the first 10–15 years) that covers manufacturing defects and, on some lines, includes algae resistance. 2) Our 10-year workmanship warranty, which covers leak repairs or installation-related issues at no cost to you. Because we are factory-certified by leading shingle brands, we can register enhanced warranties that extend non-prorated coverage and include 130 mph wind protection—benefits not available through non-certified contractors.
Will switching to architectural shingles improve my home’s energy efficiency or resale value?
Yes on both counts. Many premium lines carry Cool Roof or EnergyStar® ratings, reflecting more solar heat and keeping attic temperatures up to 20 °F lower, which can reduce summer cooling bills. Even standard architectural shingles often include reflective granules that outperform 3-tab products. As for resale, the National Association of Realtors ranks a new architectural shingle roof among the top exterior projects for return on investment, often recouping 60–70 % of its cost at sale and enhancing curb appeal for faster offers.
How long will the roof replacement take and how disruptive is the process?
Most Wartburg homes are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. Our crew protects landscaping with tarps, sets up magnetic nail catchers, and cleans the site thoroughly at day’s end. We coordinate material delivery and dumpsters to minimize driveway obstruction. You do not have to leave your home, and we keep noise to daylight hours. A final walkthrough with you ensures every shingle, flashing, and vent is properly installed before we consider the job finished.
