Asphalt and composition shingle roofing
Architectural asphalt shingles are the workhorse of valley roofing, a strong mix of value, durability, and looks. Installed correctly with the right underlayment and ventilation, a quality shingle roof holds up to our wet winters for decades.
Asphalt and Composition Shingle done right in Salem
Asphalt composition shingles cover more valley roofs than anything else, and for good reason. They balance cost, durability, and curb appeal, and a quality architectural shingle installed the right way is a roof you can forget about for decades.
The shingle is only part of the job. We install algae resistant architectural shingles over a fresh synthetic underlayment, with an ice and water barrier at the vulnerable spots, properly detailed flashing, and corrected ventilation.
It is the roof we recommend most for homes across Salem, Keizer, and the mid valley that are shedding their old, worn out shingles.

Asphalt and Composition Shingle in Salem: common questions
How long does an asphalt shingle roof last here?
A quality architectural shingle roof, installed correctly with proper ventilation, commonly lasts 25 to 30 years in the valley. Ventilation and flashing detail matter as much as the shingle itself.
What is the difference between three tab and architectural shingles?
Architectural shingles are thicker, more dimensional, and longer lasting than old three tab shingles, with better wind ratings and a richer look. They are what we install on almost every home.
Does the color matter in our climate?
Color is mostly about looks and resale, but algae resistant shingles are worth it here to slow the dark streaking that our damp climate encourages.
Will you fix the ventilation while you are up there?
Yes. Proper intake and exhaust ventilation protects the shingles and the deck and helps with attic moisture. We check and correct it during a replacement.
