"The original project manager was good. He installed the roof, had a few hiccups, but I was satisfied until 1 1/2 years later when I got 4 leaks. Additionally, some aluminium was supposed to be installed and it still hasn't been installed. I have been calling since March 2019 and still no one has come out to fix the leaks. I only have a couple of months left until warranty expires which I'm figuring they are waiting for. I've called & asked the owner Matt to call me, b ut 5 days later and still no call. A roofer is only as good as his repairs. My advise is don't use Cat. They have no one within 50 miles to repair my roof. I'm very disappointed as I first thought they had done a good job. I had seen reviews where the owner was very responsive, but not to me."

Three-tab shingles provide 15 to 30 years of service, with actual performance depending on installation quality, local weather patterns, and maintenance practices. Homes in regions with extreme temperature fluctuations or frequent storms may experience shorter lifespans, often closer to 15 to 20 years. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help maximize your roof's functional lifespan.
The cost difference stems primarily from material composition and manufacturing complexity. Three-tab shingles feature a single-layer design requiring less raw material than the multi-dimensional construction of architectural products. While this makes them more affordable initially, they offer less wind resistance and shorter warranty periods than their architectural counterparts.
Warning signals include curled or buckled shingles, bare spots where granules have disappeared, missing shingles, visible cracks, and granule accumulation in gutters. Inside your home, water stains on ceilings, light penetration through roof boards, or sagging sections indicate serious problems. Industry professionals recommend evaluation for replacement when roofs approach 20 years of age.
While technically possible in some situations, installing new shingles over existing ones is not recommended by roofing professionals. This approach adds considerable weight to your roof structure, prevents proper inspection of the underlying deck, and may create moisture issues. Many building codes limit homes to a maximum of two roofing layers, requiring complete removal before new installation if that limit has been reached.
Your local climate significantly impacts both installation requirements and long-term performance. Regions with severe weather conditions often require additional reinforcement measures that increase installation costs. Performance-wise, three-tab shingles have lower wind resistance ratings compared to premium options, making them less suitable for hurricane-prone regions. In hot climates, specialized reflective shingles may be recommended to improve energy efficiency.
