Four Questions to Ask a Shingle Roofer

These questions tell you whether a roofer installs shingles to the manufacturer's instructions or just to get off the roof early.

  1. Which Shingle Lines Do You Install, and Why That One for My House?

    Shingle lines differ in weight, wind rating, algae protection and warranty. A roofer who can't tell you why a line fits your house is selling whatever is on the truck.

    How Collins Roofing and Repair Answers

    Your estimate names the shingle line, its wind class and its algae resistance. Your service rep explains why it fits your home, your exposure and your budget.

  2. What Wind Rating Will My Shingles Carry?

    Shingles are tested and labeled by wind class. The bundle wrapper tells you which class a shingle passed, and the rating only holds when the shingle is installed to the maker's instructions.

    How Collins Roofing and Repair Answers

    Collins Roofing and Repair installs shingles that meet the wind class the code calls for here, with the starter course and nailing pattern each rating depends on.

  3. How Do You Keep Algae Streaks Off My Roof?

    Plain shingles in a humid coastal climate can streak within a few years. Ask what is built into the shingle to stop it.

    How Collins Roofing and Repair Answers

    We recommend algae-resistant shingles, made with copper-bearing granules that keep the streak-causing algae from taking hold.

  4. Will You Check My Attic Ventilation?

    A shingle roof over a hot, damp attic ages early, no matter how good the shingle is. A roofer who never looks at your vents is leaving the cause in place.

    How Collins Roofing and Repair Answers

    Our service rep checks your intake and exhaust vents at the free inspection and tells you if the roof needs more airflow.

Architectural vs. 3-Tab vs. Designer Shingles From Collins Roofing and Repair

Asphalt shingles come in three main types: 3-tab, architectural and designer. Collins Roofing and Repair installs architectural shingles on most homes because they give you the best mix of wind performance, looks and price.

Three asphalt shingle samples side by side: a flat 3-tab strip shingle, a dimensional architectural shingle and a thick designer shingle made to look like slate. The image represents the shingle roofing types Collins Roofing and Repair helps homeowners near you compare.

  • 3-Tab (Strip)

    About $4.70 per sq ft

    Best for sheds and outbuildings

  • Architectural (Laminated)

    About $5.15 per sq ft

    Best for most homes, best value

  • Designer (Premium)

    About $6.40 per sq ft

    Best for curb appeal and high-end homes

The three asphalt shingle types compared by construction, look, wind performance, lifespan, 2026 South Carolina installed cost and best use
Factor 3-Tab (Strip) Architectural (Laminated) Designer (Premium)
Construction One flat layer Two layers bonded together Two or more thick layers
Look Flat, uniform rows Dimensional, with shadow lines Mimics slate or wood shake
Wind performance Lowest of the three Strong when installed to spec Strong, varies by line
Lifespan here Shorter than architectural Roughly 20 to 25 years Varies by line
2026 SC installed cost About $4.70 per sq ft About $5.15 per sq ft About $6.40 per sq ft
Best for Sheds and outbuildings Most homes, best value Curb appeal and high-end homes

3-Tab Strip Shingles

Strip shingles are one flat layer cut into three tabs. They cost the least, but most homeowners replacing a full roof today step up to architectural for wind resistance and life span.

Architectural Shingles

Architectural shingles bond two layers together for depth and shadow lines. They are heavier, hold better in wind and last longer than strip shingles for a modest bump in price. Collins Roofing and Repair installs more of these than anything else.

"The job they did was outstanding, the crew they sent was very mindful of cleanup and very polite. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have their roof reshingled."
Matthew Jachnycky, 5 stars, Google read this review on Google

Designer Shingles

Designer shingles stack thicker layers to look like slate or hand-split shake. Some lines also carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating, the top hail rating for shingles. Your service rep can price one against architectural.

Shingle Wind Ratings and Hurricane Season

A shingle's wind rating is the wind speed it passed in a lab test, and it only counts when the shingle goes on exactly as the maker says. Collins Roofing and Repair treats the rating as a system: the starter course, sealant strip and nails do the holding.

The Two Wind Tests on Every Shingle Wrapper

Shingles are rated under two ASTM tests. ASTM D3161 uses fan-driven wind. ASTM D7158 measures uplift on the sealed shingle. Class H and Class F are the top classes.

The ASTM wind tests, the class each shingle can earn and the wind speed behind it
Test Class Wind Speed
ASTM D3161 Class A 60 mph
ASTM D3161 Class D 90 mph
ASTM D3161 Class F 110 mph
ASTM D7158 Class D 90 mph
ASTM D7158 Class G 120 mph
ASTM D7158 Class H 150 mph

What the Code Calls For on This Coast

The state's wind map shows the 140 mph line running west of Conway and the 150 mph line just off the beach. At ultimate design wind speeds of 142 mph and up, the code calls for ASTM D7158 Class G or H, or ASTM D3161 Class F. From 168 mph up, only Class H qualifies on the D7158 side.

Collins Roofing and Repair recommends Class H or Class F shingles on homes from the beach to the inland towns. The upgrade costs little next to replacing a roof after the next storm.

What Keeps a Shingle on the Roof

  • Starter shingles at the eaves and rakes with a sealant strip at the edge, where wind uplift starts.
  • Nails in the manufacturer's nailing zone, the number and spot the high-wind instructions call for.
  • The factory sealant strip, which bonds each course to the one below once the sun warms it.
  • Sealed hip and ridge caps where wind hits the peaks hardest.
  • Solid decking that holds nails, which is why soft wood gets replaced.

Going Further Than the Shingle

For homes that want more than a higher wind class, Collins Roofing and Repair can talk through a FORTIFIED roof with a sealed deck and stronger edges, or a metal roof for exposed lots near the beach.

Shingles lifted or torn off in a storm? See storm damage repair.

Algae-Resistant Shingles vs. Black Roof Streaks

Those black streaks are not dirt or mildew. They are colonies of a blue-green algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It floats in on the air and thrives in warm, humid places like this coast. Collins Roofing and Repair recommends algae-resistant shingles to keep it from taking hold.

Where Streaks Show Up First

  • North-facing slopes that stay damp longest after rain or dew.

  • Roofs shaded by pines and oaks that keep shingles cool and wet.

  • Low-pitch sections where water and debris sit longer.

  • Eaves above clogged gutters that hold moisture at the roof edge.

How Algae-Resistant Shingles Work

Algae-resistant shingles mix copper-bearing granules into the surface. Copper has long kept algae off boats and docks, and on a roof it stops the algae from settling in. Each rain carries a little of it across the shingle.

Cleaning an Older Streaked Roof

Never pressure wash shingles. It strips the granules that protect them. Roofing industry guidance calls for a gentle, low-pressure wash instead, and the streaks usually come back. On an older roof, Collins Roofing and Repair will tell you if cleaning makes sense.

Attic Ventilation and Your Shingle Roof

A shingle roof lives or dies by the attic under it. Summer sun can turn an unvented attic into an oven that cooks shingles from below, and humid air condenses on the deck. Collins Roofing and Repair checks ventilation on every shingle roof it inspects.

How a Balanced Vent System Works

Cool air comes in low at the soffits and hot air goes out high at the ridge. The residential code sets the minimum: 1 square foot of net free vent area for every 150 square feet of attic floor, or 1 per 300 when intake and exhaust are balanced.

The ventilation problems we find at inspections, what each does to shingles and how Collins Roofing and Repair fixes it
Problem We Find What It Does to Shingles Typical Fix
Blocked soffit vents Air can't enter, so hot air stalls Clear or add intake vents
No ridge or exhaust vent Heat and moisture stay trapped Add ridge vent during replacement
Mixed exhaust types Vents pull air from each other instead of the soffits Use one exhaust type per attic
Damp or stained decking Rot and loose nails Replace decking and fix airflow

Signs Your Attic Needs Better Airflow

  • Shingles curling or blistering years before they should.
  • Rusty nails or dark, damp spots on the underside of the deck.
  • An upstairs that won't cool on summer afternoons.
  • Musty smells or mildew in the attic.

Choosing a Shingle Color With Collins Roofing and Repair

Shingle color changes your curb appeal more than any other roof choice, and it also affects how hot the roof gets. Collins Roofing and Repair brings samples so you see colors against your house, not on a phone screen.

Tips for Picking Your Color

  1. Look at samples outside at different times of day. Granule colors shift between morning and afternoon light.

  2. Match what isn't changing. Brick, stone and trim stay, so pick a shingle that works with them.

  3. Lighter colors reflect more heat. Dark roofs run hotter in full sun.

  4. Check HOA rules first. Many neighborhoods limit roof colors and need approval before work starts.

  5. Step back to the street. Judge the color across the whole roof, the way neighbors will see it.

How Long Shingles Last Here and When Collins Roofing and Repair Says Repair or Replace

Architectural shingles last roughly 20 to 25 years in this climate. Heat, UV, humidity and storms age asphalt faster here than the number on the wrapper suggests. Collins Roofing and Repair weighs the roof's age and condition together before recommending a repair or a new roof.

A Collins Roofing and Repair roofer replacing a few wind-damaged shingles on an otherwise healthy architectural shingle roof. The image represents shingle roof repair and shingle roof replacement near you, and how to choose between them.

What Ages a Shingle Roof Here

  • Summer heat and UV dry out the asphalt until shingles curl and crack.
  • Heat cycling from hot days to cooler nights loosens seals.
  • Humidity and algae hold water against the shingle.
  • Tropical storms lift and crease shingles, breaking the seal even when nothing blows off.
  • Poor attic ventilation bakes the roof from below.

Shingle Repair vs. a New Shingle Roof

Situation by situation, what usually points to a shingle repair and what points to a new shingle roof
Situation Usually a Repair Usually a New Roof
Roof age Well inside its expected life 20 years or older
Missing shingles A handful after one storm Shingles lifting on several slopes
Granule loss One worn spot Bare patches across the roof
Leaks One leak at a vent, valley or flashing Leaks in more than one place
Decking Solid under the damage Soft or sagging in several areas
Color match Close match still available Old color discontinued or badly faded

See roof repair and roof replacement for what each job includes.

"Collins Roofing did an outstanding job with some shingle repairs and fascia metal work on my home. They made sure every shingle was properly fixed and didn’t cut any corners."

The Color Match Problem

New shingles never match a faded roof perfectly. On a younger roof that's a small trade-off. On an older roof that's already patched, Collins Roofing and Repair will tell you when a new roof makes more sense.
