What Makes Architectural Shingles Different?
What is the difference between the shingles on older homes and the ones on most new roofs? Older roofs often used three-tab shingles: one flat layer, cut into identical tabs. Architectural shingles are built from laminated layers, which makes them thicker, gives the roof texture and shadow and generally helps them resist wind. That is why they have become the usual choice. Does the brand matter more than the installation? Not really. A shingle is tested with nails in a certain zone, a certain number per piece, over certain underlayment, with balanced attic airflow. Install it differently and it may not perform as designed. So we follow the instructions closely. Soft plywood is replaced first. A synthetic underlayment covers the deck, waterproof membrane seals the valleys and vent openings, new metal finishes the edges and a starter course lets the first row seal down, and the shingles follow in straight courses with matching ridge caps. And what about coverage? A standard warranty is part of the package, and if you are curious about stepping up the shingle or labor coverage, we will explain the choices until they make sense.
