ARCHITECTURAL SHINGLES · NC · VA · MD
Architectural (dimensional) shingles are the standard for residential roof replacement across NC for a reason: better performance than 3-tab, better value than metal, and a 25–30 year service life that covers most homeowners through two real-estate transactions.
We install standard, enhanced, and Class 4 impact-rated architectural shingles across NC, Virginia, and Maryland, with a lifetime workmanship warranty on every full replacement.
PRODUCT GRADES
Not all architectural shingles are the same. Here are the four grades we install and when each one makes sense.
The most common choice for residential replacement. Two bonded layers, better wind resistance than 3-tab, textured appearance. 25–30 year warranty on most lines. Good value for most NC homes.
Best for: Most residential replacements
Thicker shingles with improved impact and wind ratings. Often Class 3 (TAS 100) impact rating. Better performance in hail-prone areas. Moderate premium over standard architectural.
Best for: Hail-prone areas, older homes
The highest residential hail resistance category under UL 2218. Significantly better bruise resistance in hail events. Some NC carriers offer 5–30% premium discounts for Class 4. A meaningful upgrade in areas with regular severe weather.
Best for: Frequent hail zones, long-term value
The thickest, heaviest asphalt shingles. Designed to mimic the look of wood shake or slate. Better impact and wind ratings than standard. Premium cost with premium appearance.
Best for: Upscale homes, HOA requirements
THE INSTALL
The shingle is only as good as what's under it. Every architectural shingle replacement we do includes: tear-off of existing material down to the deck, deck inspection and repair of any damaged or soft sections, ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys per NC code, synthetic underlayment over the rest of the deck, drip edge at eaves and rakes, new pipe boots and vent flashings at every penetration, and new ridge cap at the peak and hips.
We pull permits when required, we clean up before we leave, and we photograph the completed install. The lifetime workmanship warranty is in writing. Nothing is verbal.
