Our Asphalt Shingle Installation Services
We provide a range of asphalt shingle installation options to fit different roofing needs. Whether your roof needs a full replacement, an overlay, or is part of a new build, we carefully plan and install to ensure durability and proper protection.
Full Roof Replacement
When your roof is old or damaged beyond repair, we recommend a full roof replacement. This service involves removing all existing shingles and damaged underlayment. We inspect the roof deck for rot or damage and replace any weak spots before installing new shingles.
We use quality asphalt shingles that meet local building codes and offer good resistance to weather. Our team ensures proper ventilation and waterproofing layers are installed. This method provides a fresh start and extends the life of your roof, helping you avoid leaks and costly repairs later.
Reroofing and Overlay Solutions
For roofs with limited damage or when cost is a concern, we offer reroofing or overlay options. This process involves installing a new shingle layer over one existing layer, saving time and labor costs.
However, not all roofs qualify for overlay. We carefully assess your roof’s structure, weight limits, and shingle condition before recommending this option. Proper installation is key to avoid problems like trapped moisture or uneven surfaces, which we manage with thorough preparation and precision.
New Construction Installations
We also handle asphalt shingle installation for new buildings. Our team works closely with builders to follow project timelines and building plans. We install underlayment, flashing, and shingles exactly to manufacturer specifications.
We focus on ensuring all materials are securely fastened and sealed to prevent water intrusion. Our work supports the building’s energy efficiency and overall durability. For new construction, attention to detail during installation sets the foundation for long-lasting roofing performance.
Our Asphalt Shingle Materials and Options
We offer a variety of asphalt shingles that balance durability, appearance, and cost. Different types suit different budgets and design preferences. We also provide choices that can improve your home's energy use.
Architectural vs. Three-Tab Shingles

Architectural shingles are thicker and have a layered look, giving a more textured and durable finish. They last longer, often 25 to 30 years, and handle wind and weather better than three-tab shingles.
Three-tab shingles are thinner, flatter, and come in standard shapes that make roofs look smooth. They are less expensive but usually last about 15 to 20 years. They can work well on smaller budgets or simpler projects.
We help you choose between better performance or cost savings based on your needs.
Color and Style Customization
Our asphalt shingles come in many colors, from classic grays and browns to bold reds and greens. This variety lets you match your roof with your home’s exterior and personal style.
We offer different surface textures as well. Some shingles have a rough, natural stone look. Others are smoother or have a reflective granule finish. These options can impact both the roof’s look and its ability to shed water.
Choosing the right color and style can improve your home’s curb appeal and even increase its value.
Energy-Efficient Choices
Certain asphalt shingles are made to reflect more sunlight and reduce heat absorption. These cool roof shingles help keep your home cooler in hot weather.
We provide shingles that meet ENERGY STAR® standards. Using them can lower your energy bills and make your home more comfortable year-round. These energy-efficient options are available in various styles and colors, so you don’t have to sacrifice looks for performance.
Common Issues and Solutions with Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Asphalt shingle roofs can face several common problems. We often see issues like curling, cracking, and missing shingles. These problems weaken the roof’s protection against weather.
Curling shingles usually mean the shingles are old or there is poor ventilation in the attic. We recommend checking ventilation and replacing the shingles to prevent leaks.
Cracking happens when shingles dry out. This can be caused by sun exposure or extreme temperatures. We suggest timely repair or replacement to maintain the roof’s integrity.
Missing shingles might result from strong winds or improper installation. We advise securing loose shingles quickly to avoid water damage.
Regular inspection helps us catch these problems early. We work to fix issues before they become costly repairs. Our goal is to keep your roof strong and safe.
