Shingle roofing

Architectural Shingle Roofing in Garner & Raleigh

A shingle roof is a system, not just shingles. We install the starter, underlayment, flashing, ventilation and ridge as a set, so the roof performs the way the manufacturer designed it.

Brands we install

We'll help you pick a line and color, and your written proposal spells out exactly what's going on your house.

Frequently asked questions

Which shingle brands do you install?

We install architectural shingles from IKO, GAF and CertainTeed, including IKO Cambridge and Dynasty, GAF Timberline and CertainTeed Landmark. Your proposal names the exact shingle line and color we'll install.

How long does a shingle roof replacement take?

Most homes are torn off and re-shingled in one to two days, depending on size, pitch and weather.

Do you replace the decking?

We inspect the decking during tear-off and replace any rotten or damaged sheathing. Your proposal includes an allowance for this, so there are no surprises.

When should I choose metal instead of shingles?

Low-slope sections (around 2/12 to 3/12) are often better served by standing seam metal. We'll point that out during the estimate.
