What do customers ask about Asphalt Shingle Roofing?
Common questions and tips from our work with Lansing customers.
How should I get the yard ready for shingle day?
Clear a flat spot for the dumpster and shingle delivery, usually the driveway or the street edge. Take down hanging decor, satellite dishes if you can, and anything mounted on the roof or eaves. Vibrations travel through walls, so pull framed pictures off interior walls and cover attic belongings. Mow the lawn the day before so loose nails are easy to find.
Do my family and neighbors need to know anything beforehand?
Shingle day is loud. Expect nail guns and compressors from early morning into late afternoon, so plan quiet activities elsewhere and warn close neighbors, which most Lansing homeowners do as a courtesy. Keep children and pets indoors, and move vehicles to the street or a side pad until the dumpster is hauled away. Deliveries should be rescheduled for another day.
Which asphalt shingle should I pick for this climate?
Architectural shingles are the standard choice around Lansing because their thicker mat and heavier weight resist wind uplift better than flat three-tab products. Both types meet the same ASTM D3462 standard, so the difference shows up in durability and appearance. In hail-prone areas, some homeowners upgrade to lines with a Class 4 impact rating. Pick a color that suits your siding, since the shingle style defines the roofline for decades.
How long does a shingle roof take to install?
Most single-family homes near Lansing finish in one to two working days, with weather as the deciding factor. Shingles need warmth to seal properly, so installers follow manufacturer guidance on application temperature rather than working through a cold snap. After the last course goes on, cleanup and the final walkthrough take another few hours.
Can I shingle over one layer of old shingles?
A single overlay is allowed in many cases when the existing shingles lie flat and the decking is sound, but two layers is the usual maximum. A full tear off is often the better call because it exposes wet sheathing and lets ice and water shield go in at the eaves. A homeowner can clear the yard, but the decking decision is a professional one.
Tip
Underlayment order matters more than shingle color
The layers under your shingles carry the roof when wind lifts a course or ice dams hold water at the eaves. A standard build is ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, synthetic underlayment across the field, then drip edge and starter strips before any shingle is nailed. Ask to see the layout before shingles go on.
