Shingle Selection
A quality roofing system starts with choosing the right materials. Shingles come in various styles, colors, and materials, each offering different benefits. Looking for cost-effective solutions or high-end durability? We can guide you through the best options for your home.
Asphalt Shingles
In addition to providing numerous style options, asphalt shingles are readily available across the U.S. and Canada. They are also easy to install, making them an appealing choice for professional roofing contractors to recommend to their clients. Although installing a new roof is not cheap, asphalt shingles are among the most cost-effective options.
Replacement
Architectural Shingles
Architectural shingles—dimensional or laminate shingles—are an upgraded version of traditional asphalt shingles. They offer:
- Extended lifespan: Most architectural shingles come with a 30-year or more extended warranty.
- Enhanced durability: Their thickness and layered construction help withstand high winds and impact.
- Mold and algae resistance: Special coatings minimize fungal growth, keeping your roof in top condition.
If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, investing in architectural shingles can provide lasting protection while maintaining a modern aesthetic.
Home Value
A high-quality roofing system enhances your home’s curb appeal and resale value. A newly installed roof with durable materials can make your property more attractive to buyers. At the same time, it improves energy efficiency and reduces maintenance costs.
Choosing the right shingles can give your home a polished, well-maintained look that appeals to current residents and potential buyers.
Shingle Basics
3-Tab Asphalt Shingles
Before the introduction of designer shingles, 3-tab asphalt shingles were the industry standard. While they remain a cost-effective choice, they are primarily used for budget-conscious projects or replacing existing strip shingles.
Dimensional Asphalt Shingles
Dimensional shingles provide a richer, more textured look by layering multiple asphalt pieces together. This creates a high-end appearance while improving durability. Their design mimics the natural aesthetic of wood shake and slate, offering homeowners an elegant yet affordable roofing solution.
Luxury Asphalt Shingles
Luxury shingles represent the highest tier of asphalt roofing. They offer:
- Enhanced aesthetics: Designed to replicate premium materials like quarried slate and cedar shake.
- Superior weather resistance: Built to withstand harsh conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and hail.
- Extended longevity: A more durable option for homeowners seeking long-term value.
These shingles deliver an upscale look while offering top-level protection against extreme weather.
Residential Roofing Replacement Services
Over time, roofs wear down from exposure to heavy winds, snow, rain, and sunlight. If your roof is over 20 years old, has missing shingles, or shows signs of water damage, it may be time for a complete replacement. Our residential roofing replacement services provide homeowners with a fresh, durable roofing system that improves protection and aesthetics.
We assess your roof to identify problem areas and recommend the best replacement options. Key benefits of a complete roof replacement:
- Increased Home Value: A new roof boosts curb appeal and attracts potential buyers.
- Improved Safety: Eliminates leaks, mold growth, and structural risks.
- Better Insulation: Modern roofing materials help reduce energy costs by improving heat retention.
