What’s Involved
Shingle Roofing in the Shenandoah Valley
Architectural shingles have largely replaced the older three-tab style on quality work. They are heavier, carry better wind ratings and give the roof depth and shadow line rather than a flat appearance. Builder-grade three-tab is still common on houses put up to a price, and it typically reaches the end of its life sooner.
Most shingle roofs do not fail across the open field of the roof. They fail at the valleys, the flashing around chimneys and vents, and along the ridge and hip lines, which is where careful installation earns its keep.

Shingle Roofing Questions
Common Questions
Architectural or three-tab shingles?
Architectural shingles are heavier, carry better wind ratings and generally last longer. Three-tab costs less up front and is the more common builder-grade choice.
Can you shingle over an existing roof?
It is sometimes possible, but it hides whatever is happening on the deck underneath. Where the deck condition is unknown, tearing off is the sounder approach.
