FAQs
What advantages do architectural shingles offer over traditional 3-tab shingles for homes in Wartburg?
Architectural shingles are thicker and have a multidimensional profile that mimics cedar shakes, giving your roof a richer appearance. In Wartburg’s climate, the extra laminate layer provides better wind resistance (up to 130 mph ratings) and superior impact resistance against hail. They also carry longer manufacturer warranties—typically 30 years to lifetime—versus 20–25 years for 3-tab shingles.
How long can I expect a new architectural shingle roof to last in Wartburg’s weather conditions?
With proper installation and ventilation, architectural shingles in Wartburg usually last 25–35 years. The area’s moderate winters and humid summers are well within the shingle’s performance range, but routine maintenance—such as semi-annual inspections and prompt removal of debris—helps ensure you reach the upper end of that life span.
Can you install new vinyl or fiber-cement siding at the same time as my roof replacement?
Yes. Coordinating roofing and siding work saves both time and labor costs because we can share dumpsters, staging areas, and installation crews. It also ensures all exterior components—including flashing and trim—are properly integrated for a watertight envelope, eliminating gaps that sometimes occur when projects are done separately.
Will architectural shingles improve my home’s energy efficiency?
They can. Many architectural shingles come with solar-reflective granules that help deflect the sun’s heat, keeping attic temperatures lower during Wartburg’s hot, sunny afternoons. Pairing these cool-roof shingles with insulated siding and proper attic ventilation can reduce cooling costs by 10–15 percent according to Department of Energy studies.
What maintenance does an architectural shingle roof require after installation?
Maintenance is minimal: (1) Have the roof professionally inspected each spring and fall; (2) Keep gutters clear so water drains correctly; (3) Trim back overhanging branches to prevent abrasion and moss growth; (4) After major storms, visually check for lifted or missing shingles and schedule repairs promptly to preserve your warranty.
What warranties and workmanship guarantees do you provide on roofing and siding projects?
Most architectural shingles we install carry a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty and a 10-year algae-resistance warranty. Our company adds a 10-year workmanship guarantee on labor for both the roof and any siding installed. Should any installation-related issue arise within that period, we’ll repair it at no cost to you.
