Common Questions

Asphalt Shingle FAQs

How long do asphalt shingles last?

Modern architectural asphalt shingles typically last 25–30 years with proper installation and ventilation. Designer shingles can last 40+ years. Lifespan depends on shingle quality, attic ventilation, sun exposure, and storm activity.

What's the difference between architectural and 3-tab shingles?

3-tab shingles are flat, single-layer, and budget-oriented — they have largely been replaced in new construction. Architectural shingles are multi-layered, thicker, and offer a dimensional shadow line, better wind ratings, and a significantly longer lifespan. We almost always recommend architectural or better.

Are asphalt shingles energy efficient?

Standard shingles aren't inherently efficient, but cool-roof rated shingles reflect more solar heat and can lower attic temperatures. Pairing the right shingle color with proper attic ventilation is what really moves the needle on energy bills.

Can damaged shingles be repaired, or do I need a full replacement?

It depends on the cause and extent. Isolated wind damage or a small leak can often be repaired. But if your roof is more than 20 years old, has widespread granule loss, or has multiple repair history points, replacement is usually the better long-term value. We'll give you an honest read after inspection.

What kind of warranty comes with a new asphalt shingle roof?

You get two layers of protection: the manufacturer's material warranty (typically 30–50 years depending on shingle line and registration), and our 1-year workmanship warranty on the installation itself. Higher-tier installs may qualify for extended warranties like GAF's Golden Pledge or CertainTeed's SureStart Plus.
