"Much more than a complete siding job. Pergo flooring throughout the entire house, replacing 26 year old carpet. We had a new porch build with a roof fence built, another porch refurbished, inside work. After seeing the skill level we added more work we wanted to complete like tree removal, new security light, porch ceiling fan etc…we love our new oasis. Would recommend for any job big or small! "

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.
