Expert Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Raleigh, NC

GL MASSEY
Our roof was replaced due to storm damage. Ben Davis was a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the process, communicated successfully with our insurance provider. The roofing installers worked long hours to complete the job.
Mike O.
They replaced my roof, gutters, copper on bay windows, as well as replacing/painting 5 dormers. Ben made multiple trips to ensure everything was completed with the quality he demands. We were in constant communication, and we could not be happier with the finished work.
Josh I.
I was dreading the process of replacing our roof and dealing with all the roof sales people. Ben is a no nonsense guy, gets to there point and tells it how it is. He clearly explained everything and walked me through the process.
Signs Your Asphalt Shingle Roof Is Wearing Out
Service overview
Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Raleigh: Grades, Brands and What Goes Underneath
An asphalt shingle roof is a set of parts that work together, and the shingle you see is only the top layer. Our asphalt shingle roofing in Raleigh starts with the house: its pitch, its valleys, how its attic breathes, and how many years you expect to own it. From that, we recommend a grade and a manufacturer, explain why, and put every component in the written quote so you can compare it line by line.

01
Architectural grades, explained plainly
Nearly every shingle we install today is architectural, also called dimensional or laminated. Two layers are bonded together, which gives the shadowed, textured look and more weight than the old flat three-tab style.

Within architectural shingles there are two common steps. Standard architectural lines suit most homes and generally last 20 to 35 years. Upgraded architectural lines are heavier and more dimensional, with deeper shadow lines and a richer look from the street. If you want the look of slate or shake, designer shingles are a separate tier, covered on our luxury roofing page.
02
Three manufacturers, one honest comparison
Pro Performance is a GAF Certified Plus contractor, a CertainTeed ShingleMaster and an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, and we install all three. That lets the recommendation follow your house rather than one supplier's sales program.

The three brands differ in color palettes, shingle profiles and warranty structures more than in basic quality, so we lay the options side by side and tell you which details actually matter for your roof.
03
The system under the shingles
Shingle manufacturers write their best coverage around complete systems, not loose shingles. A typical installation includes synthetic underlayment over the decking, a self-adhering ice and water barrier in valleys and around penetrations, starter strips at the eaves and rakes, new flashing, matched hip and ridge cap, and balanced ventilation from the soffits to the ridge.

Skipping or mixing parts is how a homeowner ends up with a shingle warranty that does not cover much. Ask which enhanced manufacturer warranties your selected system qualifies for and what their registration requirements are.
Manufacturer warranty coverage varies by product and system. Ask about the material and workmanship terms available for your selected roof. If you are weighing shingles against metal, or want to see how a full replacement runs from tear-off to cleanup, our residential roof replacement page walks through it.
Why Pro Performance
Why Raleigh Homeowners Choose Pro Performance for Shingle Roofs
Every Brand on the Table
Certified with GAF, CertainTeed and Owens Corning, we have no reason to steer you toward one label. You see the colors, profiles and warranty terms of each and decide what suits your house.
Installed the Way the Warranty Expects
A shingle warranty is only as good as the installation behind it. Our crews follow each manufacturer's specifications for nailing, underlayment, starter and ventilation, so the coverage you are promised is coverage you can use.
A Grade That Fits, Not the Top Shelf
Upgraded architectural shingles are worth it on some homes and not on others. If a standard line meets your goals, that is what we recommend, and you will not hear a scripted pitch for the priciest option.
Familiar Faces on Install Day
The same installers handle every roof we sell, and our production manager is there on your job. You are not meeting a crew of strangers on the morning your old roof comes off.

Install to Spec and Register

Pricing
How Much Does an Asphalt Shingle Roof Cost in Raleigh?
Asphalt shingles are the most widely installed roofing material around here, and what one costs depends far more on the house than on the shingle. We quote after a free inspection, because these variables move the number most:
- Roof size, measured in squares of 100 square feet
- Pitch, height and how many valleys and dormers the roof has
- Standard or upgraded architectural grade
- Layers to remove and any decking that needs replacing
- Ventilation corrections and new flashing
- The warranty tier you choose
Your written quote names the manufacturer, product line and every system component, so you can compare it fairly with other bids in Raleigh or Cary. Ask how any additional decking work will be priced and approved before work begins. Financing is available for full roof replacements.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing FAQ
How long does it take to install an asphalt shingle roof?
Size, pitch, the number of layers coming off and the weather all change the timeline, and a steep or cut-up roof takes longer than a simple gable. Before install day you get the expected schedule for your asphalt shingle roof, and the production manager keeps you posted as each stage finishes. If rain is forecast, the crew dries in each section before leaving for the night.
How much does asphalt shingle roofing cost in Raleigh?
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the grade of shingle, how many layers come off and whether decking or ventilation needs work. We price asphalt shingle roofing after a free inspection, with a written quote that names the product line and every component. It typically arrives within 24 to 48 hours. Financing is available for full replacements.
How do I know if my asphalt shingle roof needs replacing?
Heavy granule loss in the gutters, curling or cracked shingles, shingles that come loose after storms, and leaks that keep coming back are the common signs. Age alone is not proof; a well-installed roof can outlast its neighbors, and a poorly installed one can fail within 5 to 10 years. We inspect on the roof and tell you whether repair or replacement makes sense, with the evidence for either answer.
How soon can you install a new shingle roof?
Most homes reach the install calendar within a couple of weeks of approving the quote, depending on the season and the product you choose. If your old roof is leaking while you wait, tell us when you call; ask what interim protection is available until the new asphalt shingle roof goes on.
How long do asphalt shingles last in North Carolina?
Standard and upgraded architectural shingles generally last 20 to 35 years here, and designer lines can run 35 years or more. Hot, humid summers, strong sun on south-facing slopes, poor attic ventilation and storm damage all shorten that range. Installation quality matters as much as the product, which is why we treat ventilation and underlayment as part of the shingle roof rather than add-ons.
What is the difference between architectural and three-tab shingles?
Three-tab shingles are a single flat layer cut into uniform tabs. Architectural shingles bond two layers together, so they are thicker, heavier and cast shadow lines that read as texture from the street. They also carry longer manufacturer warranties. Three-tab has largely been phased out for reroofing, and nearly every asphalt shingle roof we install today uses an architectural grade.
Which shingle brand is best: GAF, CertainTeed or Owens Corning?
All three make strong architectural shingles, and we are certified with each. The real differences are color palettes, profile and thickness, and how each structures its enhanced warranties. For a given house, one may offer the color you want or warranty terms that suit how long you plan to stay. We compare them side by side so you choose with the details in front of you.
Can new shingles go over my existing roof?
Building codes allow a second layer in some cases, but an overlay hides the decking, traps old problems under new shingles and can limit the manufacturer warranty. A full tear-off lets us inspect and replace soft decking, install new underlayment and flashing, and register the asphalt shingle system for the coverage it qualifies for.
