Hi Immortal Exteriors is an Owner Operated Roofing, Siding & Window company with 13 years of experience we are focused at offering the best value on exterior improvements here in SE Wisconsin. Visit us at www.Immortalexteriorllc.com
"I have a side-by-side duplex with a total roofing area of 6000sqft that needed replacement. After reviewing quotes from four roofing company’s, I went with Immortal Exteriors LLC. Mark the owner was my direct contact through the installation process. Its nice dealing with the owner of the company and Mark explained in detail our options and how the roof replacement would proceed and what a good crew he had. With Mark I never felt like I was dealing with a salesman more like a friend that had my best interests in mind. Out of the four quotes Immortal Exteriors was the most competitive. Mark told me his crew would complete the tear off and new roof installation in two days. I had my doubts considering 6000sqft of roofing area, but the replacement was completed in two days. The roofers were amazing, very hard working and dedicated. They took great care of our property and our neighbors. I was very impressed with their work ethic. I am extremely pleased with the results and I highly recommend Immortal Exteriors."

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.
