"Rene is a total rip off. Paid top dollar for a snap lock standing seam metal roof. The whole process was a nightmare. 2 years after installation the whole roof top has been banging with drip edge lifting 2-3 inches on all sides. Facia is blowing off due to nails pulling out and not a single drop of adhesive or silicon. Soffit has blown off in multiple locations and all surface are warping. Beware he does not stand by his work even with written guarantee of all materials and workmanship. His words are nothing but lies "

"Gabriel and his Crew replaced my roof in a 12 hour day. My roof was in terrible condition, leaking into my attic for a year. There was plenty of damage to be repaired. The Crew came (and when they say between 7:00-7:30 for arrival time, they will be waiting patiently for the clock to strike 7:00!) They worked hard and diligently. Clean up was to perfection, as was communication. When I advised others in my family, that the roof would be done in a day........they politely warned me that I needed to expect it to take at least two days. NOT! I can't say enough about the workmanship and the value. I would recommend this company to anyone. HOME EVOLUTION, Thank you all so much for the beautiful new roof. Eileen Bonesteel"

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.
