Here’s why we continue to nail every shingle by hand, for every roof:
Hand-nailing offers several advantages over nail guns in roofing installation. First, hand-nailing allows for greater precision and control, ensuring that nails are driven at the correct angle and depth, which is crucial for optimal roof performance and longevity. This method minimizes shingle damage, leading to fewer leaks and repairs. Since we can feel the resistance of the material, it allows us to adjust our technique as needed. Nail guns can sometimes overdrive nails, creating a risk of shingles being compromised.
Finally, hand-nailing can be more reliable in areas with inconsistent power sources, ensuring the job can continue without interruption. For quality roofing that stands the test of time, hand-nailing is often the superior choice.
Asphalt roofing shingles are renowned for their durability and longevity, making them a trusted choice for homeowners. Designed to withstand various weather conditions, with proper installation and maintenance, asphalt shingles typically last 20 to 30 years, providing reliable, long-term protection for your home.
The secret to their durability lies in their composition. Made from a fiberglass mat coated with asphalt and mineral granules, they are engineered to resist moisture and UV damage, which can degrade other roofing materials. Additionally, many asphalt shingles come with warranties that can last up to 50 years, giving homeowners added peace of mind.
Regular inspections and maintenance can further extend the life of your asphalt roof. By addressing minor issues before they escalate, you can ensure your roofing system remains strong and effective for decades, making asphalt shingles an excellent investment for your home.
Asphalt shingles are primarily composed of a fiberglass mat that is coated with asphalt and topped with mineral granules. This construction provides durability and weather resistance.
With proper installation and maintenance, asphalt shingles can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years. Some premium options may even offer warranties up to 50 years.
Yes! Many asphalt shingles are designed with reflective granules that can help reduce heat absorption, potentially lowering cooling costs during hot months.
Regular inspections for damaged shingles, cleaning debris from the roof and gutters, and ensuring proper ventilation can help extend the life of your asphalt shingles.
Asphalt shingles come in a wide variety of colors and styles, allowing homeowners to choose options that match their home’s aesthetic and neighborhood design.
Asphalt shingles are often more affordable and easier to install than other materials like metal or tile, while still providing excellent durability and a long lifespan.
The ideal time for asphalt shingle installation is during mild weather, typically in spring or early fall. These conditions allow for better adhesion and easier handling of materials. Extreme temperatures can affect the shingles’ performance and installation process.
While DIY installation is possible, it’s not recommended unless you have roofing experience. Proper installation is crucial for ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of the shingles. Hiring a professional guarantees that the job meets local building codes and manufacturer guidelines.
If you notice damage, it’s important to address it promptly. You can replace individual shingles if the damage is localized, but for widespread issues, a full roof inspection may be necessary to determine the best course of action.
Yes, specific tools like a roofing nailer, utility knife, and roofing hammer are commonly used for installation. Additionally, safety equipment such as harnesses and scaffolding may be necessary to ensure safe access to your roof.
When selecting a color, consider your home’s style and the surrounding environment. Lighter colors can reflect heat, while darker shades can add warmth. It’s also beneficial to view samples in natural light to see how they complement your home.
Yes, most manufacturers offer warranties that cover defects and performance issues. Be sure to read the warranty details to understand what is covered and the duration of coverage, which can vary based on the type of shingles selected.

From start to finish, I felt great about my decision to contact ARS. Mark really was clearly the thoughtful and experienced roofer from which I received a quote. He was the only one to recommend a standard skylight size for my replacements. The price was very fair and the quality of the hand-nailed roof was A+. They made a lot of repairs to my old roof and came back to fix some purely aesthetic work. I would highly recommend.
