Specialized repair services for dimensional laminate shingles—matching premium multi-layer construction and maintaining the enhanced appearance of your architectural shingle roof.
Architectural shingles (also called dimensional or laminate shingles) represent the premium tier of asphalt roofing. Unlike basic 3-tab shingles, architectural shingles feature multiple layers laminated together, creating dimensional depth, enhanced durability, and superior weather resistance—making them the preferred choice for most Coastal Georgia homes today.
Dimensional Design
Two or more asphalt layers create varied depth and shadow lines mimicking natural wood shake or slate
Heavier Weight
Thicker construction (typically 50-70% heavier than 3-tab) provides better wind and impact resistance
Enhanced Granules
Premium granules with better UV protection and color retention compared to standard shingles
25-30 Year Lifespan
Significantly outlast 3-tab shingles with better resistance to Georgia's climate challenges
Higher Wind Ratings
Often rated for 110-130 mph winds versus 60-70 mph for standard shingles
Better Warranties
Lifetime limited warranties common versus 20-25 years for basic shingles
Architectural shingles come in hundreds of color blends and patterns. Matching replacement shingles requires identifying your specific manufacturer, product line, and color—which can be discontinued after a few years. We maintain relationships with major manufacturers to source matching materials whenever possible.
The dimensional construction requires careful installation to maintain proper overlap and appearance. Improper repair stands out visually and compromises weather resistance. Our technicians understand the specific nailing patterns and placement requirements for architectural shingles.
Architectural shingles typically resist wind and impact better than 3-tab, but repairs must maintain these protective qualities. Using proper sealant and following manufacturer specifications ensures repairs perform as well as original installation.
Architectural shingle repairs cost slightly more than basic 3-tab due to premium material costs. However, the enhanced durability means repairs typically last longer, and proper matching maintains your home's curb appeal and property value.
