Yes. Laminate architectural shingles carry higher wind ratings than 3-tab and hold up far better to Gulf heat and driving rain, especially when they are installed over synthetic underlayment with new flashing and correct attic ventilation. If you want more wind protection than a standard install, we can price the same roof built to the FORTIFIED Roof standard alongside it.

Architectural shingles are laminated, meaning two or more layers bonded together, so they are thicker, heavier, and carry higher wind ratings than flat 3-tab shingles. They also give the roof a dimensional, shadowed look instead of a flat stripe pattern. Architectural is what we install on nearly every replacement.

Heat, humidity, and storm cycles are hard on asphalt here, so plan on a shorter life than the marketing number on the wrapper. Ventilation and correct nailing matter as much as the shingle itself, which is why we correct attic airflow while the roof is open.

That is our standard. A tear-off lets us inspect and replace soft decking, install new underlayment, and see exactly what the last roofer left behind. Layering over old shingles hides problems and shortens the life of the new roof.

Yes. A fortified roof uses the same architectural shingles with a sealed deck, tighter nailing pattern, and reinforced edge detailing. We price both side by side so you can see the difference in cost before you decide.

Dozens. We bring samples to the house and hold them against your brick, siding, and trim in daylight, because a color that looks right on a screen often looks wrong on the roof.

You get the manufacturer's material warranty on the shingles plus our 5-year workmanship warranty on the installation. Both are spelled out in writing before work starts.
