Exterior Remodeling - Lithonia, GA Asphalt Architectural Shingles | Roof Replacement & Installation

Before Phase 1 of their roof replacement even began, the homeowners in Lithonia, GA worked with Housworth Construction's roofing team to choose the right shingle for their new roofing system. While both options are asphalt-based, the team recommended architectural shingles over traditional 3-tab shingles, explaining that architectural shingles include an extra layer of asphalt and built-in granules, making them thicker, heavier, and considerably more durable over the long run. For a homeowner focused on quality and longevity, it was an easy decision.

With the shingle selection settled, the crew got to work early in the morning to give themselves a full day to complete the roof replacement. The team carefully tarped the property to protect the landscaping, then removed the old, worn shingles in roughly two hours. Once the roof deck was clear, an inspection revealed multiple sections of storm-damaged plywood that needed replacing, a critical step to ensure the new architectural shingle system would have the structural support it needed to perform as designed for years to come.
