Water Shield, LLC, is committed to excellence with a passion to help home owners. Inspiration came from the need for better customer service and exercised integrity within the home improvement industry. Home owners should to be heard, not told, helped, not handled, we are ready to and eager to help and to build rapport with home owners. We want home owners to get what they want & need! They deserve more, and we're going to happily give it to them! at the best possible price!
"I've waited over a year to make this review to be sure that the workmanship and materials have stood some time. They have. Water Shield replaced our 19-year-old roof and sealed two leaks in the process. Our new roof has remained tight and waterproof during high winds and hard rains. Tony added a new and large flashing piece over our bay window shingles where they meet brickwork. It appeared to be a far better solution to water leakage than the previous "stair-step" design originally installed when our house was new. However, it was not in keeping with the designs in our HOA-controlled neighborhood and we didn't like its appearance. Tony reinstalled a new flashing piece at no cost using the original "stair-step" design with a warning that "You are not going to like this." We agree with Tony and are keeping an eye on that flashing for possible leaks."

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.
