Types of Shingles We Offer
We provide a variety of shingles to meet different needs for durability, style, and budget. Our selection includes common, reliable options and more customized choices for specific looks and performance.
Asphalt Shingle
Asphalt shingles are popular because they are cost-effective and easy to install. We offer 3-tab shingles, which have a flat, uniform look, and are a good choice for straightforward roofing needs. They typically last 15-20 years.
For better durability, we also provide fiberglass asphalt shingles. These have a stronger base layer, which resists fire and weather damage better. They come in many colors and styles, so they fit well with various home designs.
Architectural Shingles
Architectural shingles use multiple layers of asphalt to create a thicker, more textured appearance. These are also called dimensional shingles because they add depth and style to your roof.
They last longer than standard asphalt shingles, often 25-30 years or more. This type offers better resistance to wind and damage. Many homeowners choose architectural shingles for their mix of durability and curb appeal.
Specialty and Designer Shingles
Our specialty shingles include options made to look like wood, slate, or tile. These shingles are designed for unique homes or for adding extra style.
They often use higher-quality materials and cost more but provide longer lifespans and better weather resistance. Designer shingles are a good choice for customers wanting a specific look or upgraded roof performance.
Our Shingle Replacement Process
We follow a clear and careful approach to replace shingles. This includes checking the roof condition, choosing the right materials, and doing the work step by step to ensure quality and safety.
1. Initial Inspection
We begin with a thorough inspection of your roof. We look for damaged, loose, or missing shingles, as well as signs of water damage or structural problems.
We check the roof’s lay of the land, including flashing, gutters, and underlayment. This helps us understand the full extent of what needs fixing.
Our goal is to uncover any hidden issues before starting the work to avoid surprises later.
2. Material Selection and Sourcing
We help you pick shingles that fit your home’s style and budget. Options include asphalt, architectural, and metal shingles.
We source materials from trusted suppliers to ensure durability and longevity. We make sure all materials meet local building codes.
You get a clear list of costs and options before any purchase. We prioritize quality materials to protect your home better.
3. Detailed Replacement
We begin by removing old shingles carefully, avoiding damage to the roof deck underneath.
Next, we inspect and repair the roof deck if needed. This step is important because the deck supports all new shingles.
We then install underlayment and flashing to keep your roof waterproof. Finally, we place new shingles, making sure they fit tightly and align correctly.
Throughout the process, we clean the area and do a final check to confirm everything is secure.
Signs You Need Shingle Replacement
We look for cracked or curling shingles as a key sign they need replacing. When shingles start lifting or bending, they no longer protect your roof well.
Missing shingles are easy to spot and show that your roof’s condition is worsening. Gaps leave your roof open to water damage and leaks.
Granules in your gutters or at the base of downspouts mean shingles are wearing out. These granules help protect shingles from sun and weather.
Dark stains or streaks on the roof surface suggest algae or moss growth. While not always a sign to replace shingles, it can speed up damage.
If shingles feel soft or spongy when you press on them, this indicates water damage underneath. It is a clear signal to act quickly.
We often see that aging roofs, over 15-20 years, start losing their strength and need replacement. The material gets brittle and less effective over time.
Watch for daylight showing through the roof boards inside your attic. This lets us know shingles on the outside are no longer sealed properly.
We recommend checking your roof regularly to find these signs early. Catching problems now can save time and money later.
