Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Fairview
Three-tab shingles built mid-century Fairview, and they’re aging out of it all at once. On the streets near the school you can spot the originals from the curb: tabs cupping at the corners, granules collecting at the downspouts, color gone patchy on the south face. A three-tab roof at that stage is done, and it tends to prove it during the next windstorm.
Architectural shingles replaced three-tabs as the standard for solid reasons. The laminated profile is thicker, lies flatter, and carries wind ratings that mean something on the open edges of town where gusts arrive at full strength. Most lines run noticeably heavier than the three-tabs they replace, and the difference shows in how they take hail and sun.
Nailed to the Line
A shingle warranty lives or dies on installation. Our crews nail to the manufacturer’s line, four to six nails per shingle depending on the wind spec, set starter strips at eaves and rakes, and cap hips and ridges with real cap shingles instead of cut-up field stock.
A few wind-creased courses don’t always mean a new roof; shingle repair handles those. If you’re weighing materials, metal roofing is the other argument worth hearing. Details live on our asphalt shingle roofing page, and the rest of our local work is at Fairview.
