Roofing Material

What is a 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.

How Much Does An Architectural Shingle Roof Installation Cost?

We believe in standardized, transparent pricing—unlike some contractors who change prices from job to job. Here’s how we calculate your roof cost: We take the size of your roof and multiply it by the price per square foot of the material package you choose. We offer 2 pre-made roofing packages with a set price per square foot, or we can create a custom package if you have specific needs. Since every roof is a different size, we can only provide an estimate based on the price per square foot until we get the roof measurements. Once we have the measurements, we’ll provide you with an exact price.

Roof Measurements

We use a trusted third party to take accurate roof measurements. Your roof quote is based on the total roof size and the material package you choose.

Material Selection

We offer 2 pre-made roofing packages that suit most homeowners’ needs. But if you prefer, we can create a custom package just for you.

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.
