FAQs
What makes a shingle "premium," and why is it a smart choice for Winchester homes?
Premium shingles are the top tier of asphalt roofing, manufactured with heavier fiberglass mats, richer asphalt blends, and designer granule patterns that mimic slate or cedar. For Winchester’s four-season climate—hot, humid summers, heavy autumn rains, and winter snow—these shingles deliver superior impact resistance, wind ratings up to 130 mph, and UV stability. Homeowners choose them for their 30-50-year life span, upscale curb appeal, and better warranty coverage.
How long will a premium shingle roof last in Winchester’s weather conditions?
On average, premium shingles last 30–40 years, and many brands now carry limited lifetime warranties. In Winchester, where freeze–thaw cycles and summer heat can punish a roof, you can realistically expect 28–35 years of service if the roof is installed correctly, ventilated properly, and inspected annually. Algae-resistant granules also keep the surface cleaner, prolonging life.
What does a premium shingle roof cost compared with standard architectural shingles?
While prices fluctuate with oil markets and supply, premium shingles typically run 20–35 % more than mid-grade architectural shingles. In Winchester, that translates to roughly $5.75–$7.75 per square foot installed, versus $4–$6 for standard options. The higher upfront investment is offset by longer service life, stronger wind/hail performance, and a higher resale value for the home.
What is Roofing Done Right’s installation process for premium shingles?
1) Detailed roof inspection, moisture scan, and exact measurements via satellite mapping. 2) Permitting with the City of Winchester and HOA coordination where required. 3) Tear-off to bare decking, replacement of any rotten sheathing, and installation of ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys. 4) Synthetic underlayment, high-temperature flashing, and upgraded metal drip edge. 5) Premium starter strip, field shingles, ridge-venting, and matching hip/ridge caps installed to manufacturer specs (6-nail/High-Wind nailing pattern). 6) Magnetic sweep, gutter clean-out, and final homeowner walkthrough. This 1,800-sq-ft roof typically takes 1–2 days, weather permitting.
What warranties do I receive on a premium shingles roof?
You get two layers of protection: (1) Manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty that covers defects, algae resistance (10–15 years), and up to 130 mph wind damage when installed with the full accessory system; and (2) Roofing Done Right’s 15-year workmanship warranty, transferable one time within the first 10 years. We also offer optional 50-year non-prorated system warranties backed by the shingle manufacturer after a factory inspection.
Will premium shingles make my home more energy-efficient or valuable?
Yes. Premium lines often include "cool-roof" color blends that reflect more solar heat, lowering attic temperatures by 10–15 °F and cutting summer HVAC costs. Thicker mats and advanced granules also dampen exterior noise. Appraisers in Winchester typically credit 60–70 % of the roof upgrade cost to home value, and listings with new premium roofs spend less time on the market because buyers know they won’t face roof expenses for decades.
