Built for wind
Shingle wind ratings depend on correct installation: the right starter strip, nail placement and number of nails, and good sealing. In windy spots we follow the high-wind installation instructions from the manufacturer.
Hail
Class 4 impact-rated shingles resist hail damage better than standard shingles. Some insurers offer lower premiums for them — ask yours.
Snow and ice
Ice and water shield at eaves and valleys protects against meltwater backing up under shingles in winter.
Colors
Earth tones and weathered grays fit the Placitas landscape and many covenants. Bring your HOA's color guidance to the estimate.

Common questions
How long do shingles last here?
Often 20 to 30 years with good installation, depending on the product and exposure.
Can you reroof over old shingles?
We recommend tear-off so the deck can be checked and protected properly.
Are impact-resistant shingles much more?
They cost somewhat more. Insurance savings can offset part of it.
