Roof Replacement in statesboro, Georgia

HomeOwner: vic w.

Victor’s home experienced major damage due to strong winds because his roof had 3-tab shingles. Tab shingles may have been the standard for years but have proved over time to experience premature failure against extreme weather conditions like high winds, resulting in shingle creasing, curling, or granule loss. Vulnerability to wind damage is a significant concern regarding 3-tab shingles. One of the common impacts we see from customers with outdated 3-tab systems are potential leaks, because of the exposed fasteners caused by flipped up shingles, or “blown off” shingles. This is a direct cause of the shingles not being able to withstand wind speeds as low as 20mph and why it is beneficial to choose an architectural shingle that is rated to withstand 5X the wind speed.

3-tab has since been replaced by shingles that are higher-quality and more durable, like Atlas Signature Select Roof System, which features Scotchguard protectors and premium underlayment that provide a long-lasting barrier against extreme weather conditions.

Remember, replacing your 3-tab shingles is a smart investment with clear advantages, including increased durability and weather resistance, lower energy costs, and more creative freedom in roof layout. Take care of these important tasks now, and protect your home BEFORE any major catastrophes occur.
