Luis Rodriguez owner and founder of RW Construction began working in the construction industry in 2002. In 2018 he founded RW Construction focusing on windows and doors. Over the years customers were left extremely satisfied with his craftmanship and would inquiry about remodeling projects. As time went on we realized that many of our customers had the same complaints of past contractors. From never showing up to asking for advances on work and disappearing half way through. Seeing this common occurrence we decided to start offering interior and exterior remodeling services. With his expertise of over 20 years and the help of his daughter and son in-law they have begun to offer customers quality work they can trust will get done on time and be REALLY WELL done.
"Luis and Raul are great to work with. Iâ ve hired them for multiple large projects. They are talented and provide quality work at a fair price. I will continue to use their services. In the construction business it can be difficult to find contractors you can trust. They are men of their word and want to make sure their clients are happy and satisfied with their work."

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.
