Valentine Roofing installs only the highest quality materials. Owens Corning Duration® has received the highest rating of any composite shingle in the architectural category. We offer the entire line of Duration® composite shingles:
TruDefinition® Duration® Shingles feature high contrast, monochromatic hues in a wide range of colors.
TruDefinition® Duration® Designer Shingles feature high-contrast tones of unique color blends for a distinctive view from the curb.
Duration® Premium Shingles have a thick, dimensional appearance and come in six color options.
TruDefinition® Duration FLEX® Shingles are SBS polymer-modified asphalt shingles. The rubberizing effect of our uniquely blended SBS-modified asphalt makes the shingles pliable. That flexibility helps them resist cracking and tearing in all weather conditions, like cold and rainy weather.
TruDefinition® Duration MAX® Shingles combine a bold, thick appearance reminiscent of wood but with the durability and color options of asphalt shingles. They’re ideal for Homeowner Association (HOA) specs.
Composite roofing material can have a lifetime of 20-30 years with a 109% potential ROI. It can also withstand winds up to 130 mph. Contact us about composite roofing installation for your Seattle or Puget Sound home today.
The patented SureNail Technology® by Owens Corning is what makes the Duration shingle superior. A two-times wider common bond area allows for two times the bond strength. This, combined with three-layer protection, provides exceptional strength and wind resistance up to 130 mph. In addition, the SureNail strip allows for a more efficient installation because the wide, highly visible nailing area allows the roofer to more consistently and accurately install the shingles.
Most composite roofs in the Pacific Northwest are replaced every 17-22 years. The lifespan of your roof greatly depends on the upkeep, material type, and proximity to trees. Routine annual maintenance provided by Valentine Roofing will ensure your roof will perform at its best while looking beautiful year-round.
The price of your roof will vary based on the size (total square footage), pitch, and which material is chosen. Valentine Roofing can provide a free and detailed estimate in about an hour so that you can make the best decision for your family and home.
There are two other major shingle types available in today's market such as three-tab and luxury shingles, featuring the pumpkin-tooth design. Unlike a thicker laminated architectural shingle, the three-tab version only consists of one layer of material making it much more prone to penetration and blow-off. Luxury shingles are the heaviest and thickest by far, making them very durable but also much heavier and higher in cost. In the Northwest, we’ve begun to see a shift away from the more expensive and antiquated luxury shingle, and it has since been replaced with the more cost-effective and technologically advanced architectural shingle.
We always recommend hiring a licensed, bonded, and insured professional roofing contractor. Roofing requires a highly trained and skilled set of hands. By hiring a professional, you can take comfort in knowing that your new investment is being installed correctly and will stand the test of time. We provide full-time employment for all of our expert employees. Every crew is led by a site foreman who will ensure the installation goes smoothly. In addition, we have dedicated, experienced managers who will coordinate the logistics of the project from start to finish.
The simple answer is yes. They are all essentially the same type of shingle. Fiberglass is used to reinforce and hold the shingle together, whereas asphalt is used to add water resistance and waterproof the material. These terms are used interchangeably in the roofing industry, but they all refer to the same product.
Yes, it absolutely can. It’s best to pick a neutral color when thinking of the resale value of your home. It’s been found that neutral and darker-colored shingles are more appealing to buyers. When selecting a color, it's often ideal to correspond the shingle color with the siding, gutter, and trim that accents your home.
It can, but there are ways to minimize this effect. While the outdoor temperature may be 70 degrees, a darker-colored shingle will conduct heat at a higher temperature into the attic and rooms below. Choosing a lighter color shingle can reduce the heat absorption of your roof, affecting the temperature and creating a more efficient system. Assuming your home’s attic is properly insulated and has healthy airflow. A properly ventilated attic allows for constant airflow. This translates to better efficiency of the home’s heating and cooling system and prevents mold and mildew formation due to moisture buildup. A properly insulated attic works seamlessly with your roof to create a system that protects the home.
Most single-family homes in the Pacific Northwest are under-insulated according to the standards set in place by the Department of Energy. Valentine Roofing offers removal and replacement of attic insulation as well as simple top-offs to existing insulation. Updating your home’s attic with new blown-in attic insulation will ensure your entire roof system performs at its best.
It sure does! There are many shingle manufacturers producing a wide variety of shingles at various levels of quality. Not every shingle is made for every climate and roof. Homes here in the Pacific Northwest see much more rain and high winds than other portions of the country. Using a shingle designed for the Northwest climate with superior protection is the best way to ensure your home is protected by a product that will hold up for years. At Valentine Roofing we proudly install Owens Corning Duration Series shingles. The Duration shingle consists of three layers of material protection and features patented SureNail Technology which provides superior wind resistance (up to 130 mph) and stopping power.
