Overview

What is an Architectural Shingle Roof?

Architectural shingles are a durable and stylish roofing option made from high-quality asphalt. They are thicker and more dimensional than standard 3-tab shingles, giving your roof a textured, upscale appearance. Known for their affordability and lifespan of 40–50 years, they are a popular choice for homeowners seeking a balance of cost, performance, and aesthetic appeal.

This type of roofing is perfect for residential properties and is ideal for homeowners looking for a dependable, cost-effective roofing solution backed by strong warranties. Architectural shingles perform well in Maryland’s varying weather conditions, from hot summers to cold winters.

Roof Installation Process

Careful Roof Tear-Off

We remove the existing roof down to the plywood sheathing with care, unlike many contractors who scrape shingles off and let debris damage siding and landscaping. Our team hand-removes debris and carries it to the dumpster, preventing unnecessary mess and damage. While this takes extra time and effort, it ensures a cleaner, safer process that protects your home.

Roofing Material

Lifetime Pipe Boots

We install GAF Master Flow Pivot Lifetime Pipe Boots as part of our Lifetime Roofing System to ensure long-term protection for your home. Unlike traditional rubber pipe collars that dry out, crack, and deteriorate within 10 years, the Master Flow Pivot boot fully encapsulates the pipe, creating a more secure, watertight seal that lasts the lifetime of your roof. Many contractors cut corners by using standard rubber boots, which can lead to premature leaks and costly repairs down the line. We refuse to take shortcuts—our priority is durability, quality, and long-term peace of mind for our customers.

Our Approach

Shingle Roof Installation Process

When gathering estimates from roofing contractors in Maryland, understanding their installation process is crucial. While you might assume that all contractors follow the same procedure, some take shortcuts. Here’s our meticulous approach:

Material Delivery

We ensure that roofing materials are delivered a day or two before the installation, unlike some contractors who deliver on the same day. This buffer allows us to verify that all materials are correct, avoiding any last-minute issues on the installation day.

Roof Tear Off

Our crew arrives early to start removing the existing roof down to the decking/plywood. It’s vital to reach the plywood because some contractors cut costs by reusing existing underlayment, which may not be durable and doesn't allow for the replacement of rotted wood. Maryland building code mandates the replacement of any rotted wood, ensuring no hidden issues remain after the new roof is installed.

Roof Dry-in

After the tear-off and ensuring the wood is in good condition, we install the roofing system components beneath the shingles. This includes applying the ice and water barrier along the eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the rest of the roof, drip edge, and replacing roofing accessories like pipe collars, vents, and flashing.

Shingle Install

Once the roof is "dried in," we begin the shingle installation. We start with a starter shingle at the bottom of the slope, adding support and protection against wind lift—a step some contractors skip to save money. With the starter strip in place, we proceed to lay the shingles and complete the roof installation.

Jobsite Clean Up

Roof installation can be messy, with debris coming off and onto your roof. Don’t worry; we have a dumpster onsite all day and conduct periodic cleanups. After the installation, we ensure a thorough cleanup, picking up all debris from your yard and garden. We use magnetic rakes to collect nails and air blowers to clean off the roof and gutters.

Pricing

How Much Does An Architectural Shingle Roof Installation Cost?

We offer 2 pre-made roofing packages with a set price per square foot, or we can create a custom package if you have a specific request. We take the size of your roof and multiply it by the price per square foot of the material package you choose. Once we have the measurements, we’ll provide you with an exact price.
