ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGNER SHINGLES

Which asphalt shingles should I put on my roof?

For most Mohawk Valley homes the answer is an architectural shingle from one of the big three: GAF Timberline HDZ, CertainTeed Landmark, or Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration. All three are proven lines we install every week, and the right pick usually comes down to color, budget, and how your street already looks.

If you want a roof that reads as slate or cedar shake without the weight or the upkeep, each brand makes a designer line for exactly that. We bring samples to the estimate, hold them against your siding, and tell you straight which shingle earns its price on your house.

WHY HOMEOWNERS PICK US

Certifications that take years to earn, and are checked every year.

Any contractor can buy shingles. Very few are approved to install them at the top tier by both GAF and CertainTeed, and fewer still have been voted the best in this valley four separate times.

I have had them out twice now to replace sections of my roof. Both times they did amazing work. They left the area clean when they were done, even taking extra care around all of the plants as to not damage anything. Great work and communication.

We just got a new roof with this company. Pete and Gina are fantastic. Their financing through Green Sky was quick and easy. Their workers worked really fast and did a great job, all the way to the end with great clean up. They were done in one day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ASPHALT SHINGLE QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Straight answers to what homeowners and building owners ask us most. Still not sure about something? Call (315) 733-3106 and a real person will pick up.

How long do asphalt shingles last in Central New York?

Architectural shingles typically give 20 to 30 years in our climate. Freeze and thaw cycles and ice damming are what shorten that, so attic ventilation and an ice and water barrier at the eaves matter as much as the shingle itself. We build all of that into every installation.

What is the difference between architectural and designer shingles?

Architectural shingles are the dimensional two-layer standard on most homes, and designer shingles are thicker profiles built to read as slate or hand-split shake from the street. Designer costs more per square, and on the right house it changes the whole look.

Which shingle brands do you install?

GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. We hold GAF Master Elite, CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster, and Owens Corning Preferred Contractor standing, so we can quote any of the three side by side and you pick what suits the house and the budget.

Are architectural shingles worth it over 3-tab?

Yes. Architectural shingles are thicker, carry better wind ratings, and look sharper from the street, and the price difference on a full roof is smaller than most people expect. Architectural is our standard recommendation on nearly every home.

Can you match my existing shingles for a repair?

Usually, yes. We identify the brand and line, then match the closest current color. Shingles fade over time, so a brand new patch can sit a shade off at first and blend in as it weathers. We show you the match before we order.

Do asphalt shingles hold up to Utica winters?

They do when the installation is right. The shingle is only part of the system. The ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys, the underlayment, and the attic ventilation are what beat our freeze and thaw cycles and ice damming, and we build the full system on every roof.
