"We were seeking an estimate for new siding. We scheduled an appointment to get an estimate which turned into a 3 hour explanation on how great and full of integrity the company is. We agreed on a price (only good for that evening) with financing of 2 years no payment, no interest plan. This turned out to be false and I received a bill right after work was complete. The company was able to negotiate a 18 month no payment, no interest after the fact which helped, but still put us in a bind. When they finally came out to do the work, they ran out of the siding we ordered saying they used some of ours to complete another job. Unfortunately for us, we had family and friends over for holiday weekend with half finished siding on the house. We had property damaged by the workers which the company said they would pay for, but never did. Finally able to contact the salesman that suckered us in this deal said he would send a gift card to cover damages, but that didnt happen either. AVOI"

Welcome to Key Exteriors, Inc., Fort Wayne's leading residential replacement contractor. Bill Kesterkey started Key Exteriors in 2003 for one reason: Integrity. Having worked in the business for a large national company with little control over the finished product, he wanted to start a company that focused on providing customers with the highest quality products, installation and service after the sale, in the industry. Our goal was not to be the cheapest nor the most expensive, but simply the best value bar none. We focus on giving the most convenient terms possible at the best value possible.
"I had such a great experience with Key. I originally wanted some gutters but found during their survey a hole in my roof that could have been very much more costly. I got my roof and gutters done in 2 weeks for a better price than I could have dreamed for for the size of my home. They also entered me into the $60,000 home Makeover giveaway with the drawing next month at their crazy fun open house I keep hearing about from some of my neighbors that have been to it last couple of years that is on May 20. I hope I win. That is the only way they could do better. "

"The Lanes Roofing crew arrived at daylight to set up. Care was taken to protect my shrubby and lawn, just as I was told they would. Work on the roof began shortly, and they completed the job by day's end. My neighbors said it was impressive. The next day, two gentlemen returned to finish some caulking, to inspect the work, and to thoroughly go over the yard and flower beds to complete the cleanup. I think my new roof is beautiful. More than that, I feel that I have a quality roof to protect my home and an established company to turn to if any repairs are needed in the future. I am very pleased and satisfied, and would happily recommend Lanes Roofing to my friends and family."

Architectural shingles last 25 to 30 years, while standard 3-tab asphalt shingles last 15 to 20 years. This extended lifespan results from their thicker construction and higher-quality materials. Environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, strong winds, and heavy precipitation can affect longevity in any region. Regular maintenance, including clearing debris and addressing minor issues promptly, helps maximize the service life of either shingle type.
Architectural shingles justify their additional cost through superior longevity, enhanced durability, and better aesthetics. While they cost 20% to 40% more than standard 3-tab options, their longer lifespan (25 to 30 years versus 15 to 20) means fewer replacements over time.
They also offer better resistance to wind and weather, a more attractive dimensional appearance, and stronger manufacturer warranties. For most homeowners, these benefits provide good value despite the higher initial investment.
30-year architectural shingles cost between $250 and $1,000 per square (100 square feet) installed. Premium brands tend toward the higher end of this spectrum, while more economical options fall in the lower range. These figures represent complete installation costs and don't include potential expenses for removing existing roofing materials, which can add disposal fees of $40 to $60 per ton.
Architectural shingles do require specific installation methods to ensure proper performance and warranty coverage. Their heavier weight and dimensional profile necessitate particular attention to underlayment quality, fastener placement, and overlap measurements. Manufacturer specifications must be followed precisely to maintain warranty protection.
Professional installers understand these requirements and have the proper tools and training to implement them correctly. Improper installation can compromise both performance and warranty coverage, making professional installation particularly important for this premium roofing material.
