What's included

What a Crowley asphalt shingle roof takes

You can put the money into a tougher shingle, or into the deck, the underlayment and the attic air that shingle has to live on. Only one of those shows up in a brochure.

The roofs on almost any street here aren't one age. Crowley grew about seventy percent through the 2000s and another forty through the 2010s, so the houses went up in waves, nearly all under asphalt shingle.

So the shingle isn't the variable. Nail placement is, and so is air: an attic that can't move it holds the shingle's underside hot long after the sun has left. Our roofers work out the vent area your attic needs, count what's already there, and the difference goes on the estimate as its own line. How the two grades compare is a different question.

The deck made solid

Your roofer re-fastens loose sheathing first. Shingles hold only as well as that wood.

Underlayment across the deck

Synthetic sheet goes over the bare wood. It holds water out until shingles land.

Starter course at the edges

A sealed strip runs the eaves and rakes. Field shingles alone leave edges loose.

Nails in the marked strip

Every nail lands in the shingle's nailing zone. High ones let tabs slide later.

Attic air, measured first

Your roofer measures vent area against the attic floor. Guesswork shortens a new roof.

Cap shingles over the ridge

Purpose-made caps finish the peak. Field shingles cut up for it perform worse.

How Crowley weather ages asphalt

Heat and wind do most of the work on a shingle roof here. Both take years about it.

Ask when the roof went on

Shingles laid below about forty degrees may not seal until spring. Wind gets under them first.

Count the layers at the gable

A second layer traps heat and ages the new shingle faster. The gable edge shows it.

Check the sealant at a vent

Sun splits exposed sealant long before it wears shingle out. Any joint trusting caulk is temporary.

Notice which rooms stay hot

An attic with no through draft holds heat against the deck. Shingle ages from underneath too.

Look in the valley after rain

Leaves pack a valley and dam what should run off. Water backs under the courses above.

Spot nail heads out in the open

A face-nailed patch leaves heads with nothing over them. Sun and rain work on each one.

Deck, underlayment, shingle, ridge

A shingle roof goes on from the bottom up. Each course covers the nails of the one below.

1

Down to the plywood

Shingles, felt and old metal go in one load. Nothing stays on the sheathing.

2

Soft sheets come out first

Your roofer photographs the sheets that get replaced. The pictures come to you.

3

Everything under the shingle

Underlayment and drip edge cover the deck. From then on rain doesn't matter.

4

Courses, then vent and cap

Shingles start at the eave and work up. Vent and caps close the peak.

What it costs

What separates the two grade prices

$11,700 to $22,100

Both grades go over the same deck and take the same labor, so nearly all of the gap between them is the shingle itself, and the cost page carries everything else that moves a roof price. Architectural shingle sits at $450 to $690 per square, installed. The impact rated build of the same profile sits at $560 to $850, and the step buys a tougher mat, nothing else. Whether it earns that on your house turns on your carrier and how long you expect to be living under the roof, and the grade decision itself is worked through separately.

Architectural sits at the bottom of that range and impact rated at the top, both installed over the same deck. The spread assumes a 26-square roof, a planning size this math starts from before anyone measures your house.

National planning ranges, not a quote. Your roof sets the real number.

Asphalt questions before committing

Ventilation, warranty length and how long the work takes carry most of it. The rest is choice of shingle.

Because heat with nowhere to go works on the shingle from the back, and that is the half of the roof nobody ever looks at. An attic that can't move air stays hot long after the sun has left the slope, and the shingle above it ages quietly for years. It reaches the paperwork too, since a material claim can be refused over an attic that never had the air it needed. Our roofers put the vent area on the estimate as a measured number, and what each warranty covers is on its own page.
Not always, though it does need balanced air one way or another. Air has to come in low at the soffits and leave high near the peak, with the intake at least matching the exhaust, and a continuous ridge vent tucked under the cap shingles is the tidiest way to get that on a gabled roof. Where a roofline won't carry one, box vents or a turbine do the same work. What doesn't work is running several kinds at once, because a powered fan or a gable vent sitting near a ridge vent pulls its air from the nearest opening rather than from the soffits, and the far end of the attic stops moving altogether.
No, because the two are set by different people. The workmanship term belongs to your roofer, and it lands on the estimate as a number of years you can read before you sign anything. Grade does move the material side, since the upgraded programs manufacturers run generally want their whole system on the roof at once, installed by an installer they have certified. And an impact rating is a lab result about how a shingle takes a hit, which is not the same thing as hail cover, so hail stays with your homeowners policy whichever grade goes on.
Less time than most people expect, and the roof is only open for the middle of it. Your roofer strips a slope and gets it covered again inside the same working stretch, because nobody walks away from bare decking if the weather can be helped at all. What stretches a job is pitch, a second story, a roofline broken up with dormers and valleys, or sheets of decking that turn out to need replacing. Weather has the last say on the date, since asphalt won't seal properly in the cold and nobody lays shingle onto wet wood.
Code allows it on most houses up to two layers, and it is usually still the wrong call. Going over leaves the sheathing hidden, so anything soft under there stays soft and gets paid for twice later on. The stacked layers also trap heat, which ages the new shingle faster than it should, and every hundred square feet of old covering left up there adds a couple of hundred pounds to what the framing is carrying. Our roofers take the old covering off down to the sheathing as a matter of course, and a full replacement sets out what that involves.
