"These guys came out and absolutely crushed it. My roof was a mess - shingles curling and everything looking pretty rough. Jake H. came by for the estimate, and even though it was late and dark (so we skipped walking the roof), he was straight with me from the start. No BS, no pressure tactics - just honest talk about what needed to be done and a fair quote. During the job, they did find some bad roof sheeting under the shingles. Anyone with basic common sense knows you can't see that stuff until you get down to the wood - it's just part of the deal. Yeah, I had to pay extra for the wood replacement, but it needed to be done right. The end result? My house looks AMAZING! These guys knocked it out of the park. The new roof completely transformed my home's appearance, and their work quality was top-notch. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. But here's where they really showed their true colors - I had an issue with some shingles having granule problems. I tried dealing with Owens Corning myself but got nowhere and they denied my claim. Called Jason (one of the owners) and man, what a difference! He straight up told me I should've called him from the start since they handle all warranty issues for their customers. This guy took over completely, got the warranty claim approved the right way, and replaced my whole roof! The kicker? They didn't even charge for the extra labor that wasn't covered by the warranty. They just handled it because that's how they do business - standing behind their work 100%. I've never seen a company go this far above and beyond. Their attention to detail and business ethics are absolutely top-tier. If you need roofing work done by straight shooters who do quality work and actually stand behind it, these are your people."

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.

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.
