Why Choose Us
Why Choose Our Asphalt Shingle Roof Installation
Asphalt shingle roof installation from ARCM Roofing comes with qualifications most contractors can't match. We're licensed, bonded, and insured, and we carry full workers' compensation coverage on every crew member who steps onto your roof.
Our installers train directly with shingle manufacturers. That training lets us offer extended manufacturer warranties that cover both materials and labor for decades. A standard contractor warranty covers workmanship for one or two years. Ours covers it for ten.
We follow the shingle manufacturer's nailing patterns, exposure specs, and flashing details on every job. Our crews flash chimneys with step flashing and counterflashing, seal pipe boots with compatible sealants, and install ice and water shield in valleys and along eaves. These details separate a roof that lasts 30 years from one that leaks in five.
You get a dedicated project manager who answers your calls, walks the roof with you before and after installation, and photographs every stage of the work. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and haul away every scrap of old roofing material.
Our pricing stays transparent. The written estimate you sign is the price you pay, unless we uncover rotted decking that needs replacement. When that happens, we show you photos before we repair a single board.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need Asphalt Shingle Roof Installation
Asphalt shingle roof installation becomes necessary when repairs can no longer protect your home. Watch for these five warning signs.
Curling and Cupping Shingles
Shingle edges that lift, curl upward, or cup in the center signal advanced thermal aging. Curled shingles lose their wind seal, and gusts as low as 50 mph can tear them off. Once curling spreads across multiple slopes, spot repairs won't hold.
Granule Loss in Gutters
Ceramic granules protect the asphalt layer from UV degradation. When you find heavy granule deposits in your gutters or downspouts, or you spot bald patches with exposed black substrate, the shingles have reached the end of their service life.
Cracked or Missing Shingles After Storms
Hail impacts bruise the fiberglass mat and crack the asphalt coating. Wind lifts tabs and snaps them off at the nail line. Scattered damage across several slopes usually means your insurer will approve a full replacement rather than patchwork repairs.
Daylight or Water Stains in the Attic
Check your attic after heavy rain. Water stains on the decking, damp insulation, or visible daylight around penetrations point to failed underlayment and flashing. Interior ceiling stains confirm the leak has traveled into your living space.
A Roof Past 20 Years Old
Standard 3-tab shingles last 15 to 20 years. Architectural shingles last 25 to 30. If your roof is approaching these ages and shows any of the symptoms above, a new asphalt shingle roof installation costs less than repeated emergency repairs and interior water damage restoration.
How We Work
Our Asphalt Shingle Roof Installation Process
Asphalt shingle roof installation at ARCM Roofing follows a proven eight-step process that protects your property from the first inspection to the final walkthrough.
01
Free Inspection and Estimate
We measure your roof, photograph problem areas, check decking condition from the attic, and deliver a written quote within 24 hours.
02
Material Selection
You choose your shingle style and color from physical samples. We order materials and schedule delivery for installation day.
03
Property Protection
Crews tarp landscaping, cover AC units, and stage plywood against windows before tear-off begins.
04
Complete Tear-Off
We strip old shingles and underlayment down to the bare decking. Layering new shingles over old ones voids warranties, so we never do it.
05
Deck Inspection and Repair
We probe every sheet of decking for rot and delamination, then replace damaged plywood or OSB at the per-sheet price quoted upfront.
06
Underlayment and Flashing
We install ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, roll synthetic underlayment across the field, and flash every chimney, skylight, and pipe penetration.
07
Shingle Installation
Crews nail shingles to manufacturer spec, install ridge caps, and mount ridge vents for balanced attic ventilation.
08
Cleanup and Final Inspection
We run magnetic sweepers across your yard, haul debris away, and walk the finished roof with you.

FAQs
FAQs About Asphalt Shingle Roof Installation
Asphalt shingle roof installation raises common questions, and our team answers them daily.
›What does asphalt shingle roof installation cost?
Most homes run between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on roof size, pitch, shingle grade, and decking condition. We provide exact written quotes after a free inspection.
›How long does installation take?
Most residential roofs finish in one to two days. Steep pitches, multiple layers of old shingles, or decking repairs can add a day.
›When is the best time to install a shingle roof?
Spring through fall offers ideal temperatures for shingle sealing. We install year-round and hand-seal shingles during cold weather to guarantee adhesion.
›Why do you tear off the old roof instead of layering over it?
A tear-off lets us inspect and repair the decking, install fresh underlayment, and meet warranty requirements. Overlays trap heat, hide rot, and shorten shingle life.
›Can you install over damaged decking?
No. We replace rotted or delaminated plywood before shingling. Nails won't hold in compromised decking, and warranties require a sound substrate.
›Does a new shingle roof lower insurance premiums?
Many insurers discount premiums for impact-rated Class 4 shingles. We supply the certification documents your carrier needs.
›How do I get started?
