Q: How do I decide on what shingle to buy?
We recommend considering your budget, HOA rules, and style preferences. Most homeowners choose architectural shingles for durability and curb appeal. Feel free to ask any roofing questions that can help make your choice.
Q: Will a 30-year shingle last 30 years?
Not always. A “30-year” rating is based on ideal lab conditions. In real life, most last 20–25 years depending on weather, ventilation, and maintenance. This is a common query among roofs from our clients.
