Asphalt shingle roofing
Asphalt shingles cover most homes in North Carolina, and for good reason: they're affordable, come in a lot of colors and hold up well to our weather when they're installed right.
The shingles we install
We install GAF asphalt shingles. Our products page covers the options.
Architectural vs. 3-tab shingles
Three-tab shingles are flat and uniform. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker and layered, which gives the roof more depth, handles wind better and usually lasts longer. Most new installs today are architectural, and the price gap is smaller than people expect.
Picking a color
Darker shingles hide streaking and look sharp on brick; lighter ones reflect more heat. It's worth looking at samples against your siding and trim in daylight before you decide.
Installation details that matter
- Underlayment over the whole deck, not just the eaves
- Drip edge at the eaves and rakes
- Step flashing and counter-flashing at walls and chimneys
- Correct nailing, which decides how well shingles hold in high wind
- Enough attic ventilation, so heat and moisture don't cook the shingles from underneath
