Roof Types We Install in Central Arkansas

Which Roof Type Is Right for Your Home?

Most Central Arkansas homes end up on asphalt shingle or on metal, and the honest answer for your house depends on three things: how much hail exposure you have, how long you plan to stay, and what your insurance carrier rewards. This page lays out what we install, what each type actually does in this climate, and where it fits.

We do not sell one system to everybody. If a repair is the right call, we will tell you that instead.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Asphalt shingle is the most common roof in Central Arkansas, and for good reason: it handles our heat and rain well, it comes in every color and profile, and it is the most affordable way to get a complete, properly built roofing system.

Architectural shingle. Our starting point on every home, in our Shield package. Dimensional, far more wind and hail resistant than three-tab, and only slightly more expensive. We do not install new three-tab roofs, though we repair existing ones.

Class 3 impact-rated shingle. Tested under UL 2218 against a 1-3/4 inch steel ball. This is our Defender package.

Class 4 impact-rated shingle. The highest impact rating a shingle can earn under UL 2218, tested at 2 inches. This is our Guardian package, and it may qualify you for a homeowners insurance discount, though that varies by insurer and you should confirm it with your agent.

Atlas is our primary shingle line: we are an Atlas PRO+ contractor at the Gold level and install Atlas Signature Select roofing systems. We can also install shingles from other manufacturers, including Owens Corning, Malarkey and CertainTeed.

Metal Roofing

We install two kinds of metal roof. Our Armor package is a 26-gauge PBR steel panel roof, Class A fire rated, rated for hail up to 2 inches and backed by a 15-year Patriot Leak Free Guarantee. We also install standing seam metal roofs, priced in writing after we measure your roof. Metal commonly lasts 40 to 70 years, against roughly 15 to 20 years for a standard architectural shingle in Arkansas.

It costs more up front, and because it lasts so much longer it can cost less over the life of a home. It suits a home you plan to keep, and it is the right answer for a homeowner who is tired of replacing a roof after every bad hail season.

A metal roof is a different system, not just a different covering: it needs high-temp ice and water shield, metal-rated pipe flashings, a metal-compatible ventilation plan and color-matched drip edge and ridge. We build all of that in.

Commercial and Low-Slope Roofing Systems

Our focus is homes, but we do commercial work, and we install the flat and low-slope systems those buildings need.

TPO. A single-ply membrane with a reflective surface, which helps with cooling load on a flat roof in an Arkansas summer.

EPDM. A rubber membrane, durable and weather resistant, with a long track record on flat roofs.

Modified bitumen. Flexible, strongly waterproof, and a good fit for flat roofs that see foot traffic.

We also install asphalt shingle and metal on pitched commercial roofs. Tell us what is on your building and what it is doing, and we will walk it with you and put the options in writing.

Guarantee terms by package are laid out side by side on our pricing page, and every guarantee is spelled out in full on our guarantees page.
