Dimensional shingles
Architectural Shingle Roofing in Suwanee
Dimensional shingles priced by the square and installed to the maker's tested nailing and underlayment rules.
Paying for Performance
Architectural shingles cost more than the old flat three-tab style, and they are worth it: two laminated layers, a thicker profile, deeper shadow lines and generally better wind performance. But a shingle's rated performance assumes it was installed the way the manufacturer tested it. That means nails in a specific zone and a specific number per shingle, a starter course along every edge, the right underlayment and balanced ventilation. Skip any of those and you are paying for performance you may not get. So our quotes list the shingle line, the squares needed with waste factored in, the starter strip, ridge cap, underlayment rolls, valley membrane, drip edge and vents, each as its own line. Installation follows the instructions on the wrapper. Decking is checked and replaced where soft. Courses run straight. Ridge caps match. Colors are chosen from full-size samples outside, in daylight, at the same time you pick a gutter color, so roof and drainage look like they belong together. Then everything is cleaned up in one pass.
