BENEFITS INCLUDE:

Weather Resistance: Asphalt provides a watertight seal that stands up to heavy rain and wind.
UV Protection: Ceramic granules deflect harmful sunlight, reducing heat absorption and extending shingle life.

Frequently Asked Questions

From Tredegar Construction, LLC – The Contractor You’d Recommend to Grandma

How long do asphalt shingles last?High-quality asphalt shingles — especially GAF roofing systems — typically last 25–30 years or more with proper installation and maintenance. With Tredegar Construction’s certified installation, you can qualify for up to 50 years of non-prorated warranty coverage for added peace of mind.

What makes GAF shingles different from other brands?GAF shingles are engineered for superior protection, weather resistance, and curb appeal. Their multi-layer construction, advanced sealant technology, and color retention make them one of the most durable and visually appealing options on the market.

What makes CertainTeed shingles different from other brands?CertainTeed stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship, product weight, and design diversity. Compared to many other brands, CertainTeed shingles are:
‍• Thicker and heavier, offering superior durability and wind resistance.• Available in more designer styles and colors, allowing homeowners to achieve upscale architectural looks.
• Backed by one of the industry’s strongest warranties, ensuring confidence in both materials and workmanship.This focus on quality and aesthetic detail has made CertainTeed a favorite among homeowners who value both strength and beauty in their roofing system.

Where is the ice and water shield used?Ice and water shield is a waterproof barrier installed beneath the shingles in leak-prone areas — such as roof valleys, eaves, and around skylights, chimneys, and other roof penetrations. It provides extra defense against wind-driven rain and ice dams, helping prevent leaks and water damage.

Tredegar Construction pays special attention to include it in all low slope roof areas of 2/12 to 4/12 slope. Building code requires it in all of these places. Below a 2/12 slope, a low slope roofing material is required rather than ice/water shield and asphalt shingles.

When should I upgrade from a basic to a lifetime pipe collar?It’s a smart move to upgrade during a roof replacement. Standard pipe collars often last around 7-10 years, while lifetime collars are designed to last as long as your 50 year roofing system. The upgrade ensures consistent protection against leaks and UV deterioration for decades.

Should I replace skylights during roof replacement?It depends on the age of the skylights. If you think the skylights might need to be replaced within the next 5-8 years, it’s generally a good idea to go ahead and replace them with your roof. Reflashing a skylight is the majority of the work when it comes to replacing a skylight. Since an existing skylight will be getting reflashed during a roof replacement, the labor of installing a new skylight is already built into the price. If you wait, and you have to replace that skylight a few years down the road, then you’ll be paying for that labor and material all over again.

Should drip edge be installed at the eave and rake edges of my roof?Drip edge is always recommended, but not always required. It adds extra protection to the exposed edges of the roof deck. If you could only pick one area, Tredegar would recommend that it be installed at the eaves since that is where we find the most roof deck rot during a roof replacement. Drip edge is required along the eaves for a new roof to qualify for a GAF Silver Pledge warranty.

Can drip edge be installed if my gutters have gutter guards?It depends on the type of gutter guards, the size of the fascia board, and the length of the gutters. Because of multiple variables that need to be addressed, it’s best to discuss this with your estimator during the home visit to determine the best solution. This will be critical to make sure your drip edge and gutter guards are operating correctly; if they can even be installed together.

Do asphalt shingles require much maintenance?Not much! Asphalt shingles are relatively low-maintenance. However, regular inspections and gutter cleaning help extend their lifespan and maintain warranty coverage. Tredegar Construction offers affordable roof maintenance programs to keep your roof in top shape year-round.

What warranty options are available with GAF shingles?As a GAF Certified PLUS Installer, Tredegar Construction is allowed to offer the Silver Pledge or System Plus 50-Year Non-Prorated System Warranties on qualifying installations — covering both materials and workmanship for long-term protection. A homeowner will still receive a GAF standard Limited Lifetime 50 year pro-rated warranty with a basic shingle roof installation.

What warranty options are available with CertainTeed shingles?As a GAF Shingle Master Installer, Tredegar Construction is allowed to offer either the 4-Star 50 Year Non-Prorated System Warranty on Integrity Roofing System installations. A homeowner will still receive a Certainteed SureStart standard Limited Lifetime 50 year pro-rated warranty with a basic shingle roof installation. The first 10 years of the SureStart warranty are non-prorated.
