What Sets Premium Shingles Apart?

Key Premium Features

• **Multi-Layer Construction:** Instead of the skinny, single-layer 3-tab stuff, **architectural shingles** are thick boys, layered up with asphalt and fiberglass. They look cool and are super tough.
• **Extreme Wind Resistance:** These bad boys handle **wind ratings up to 130 mph**. Trust me, around the Gulf Coast, you need that kind of overkill when the hurricanes start rolling in.
• **Superior Longevity:** Cheap roofs last maybe 15 years, tops. These premium ones? We're talking **30 to 50 years**. It's not an expense, it's just never having to worry about your roof again.

A Local Story: The Miller Family's Upgrade

We got up there, and yeah, the old 3-tab junk was toasted. The sun had cooked off all the grit, and the asphalt was ready to crack wide open. It was definitely replacement time.

We showed them this awesome **Premium Architectural Shingle** in a "Weathered Wood" color—looked way better with their brick. Oh, and their gutters were totally plugged up and falling off, so we figured we'd take care of that too.

The Solution: Our Comprehensive Approach

We don't just nail shingles down; we hook you up with a full roofing **system**. Here’s the quick list of everything we did:

• **Deck Protection:** Swapped out some rotten wood up there. Can’t put a new roof on mush.
• **Waterproofing:** Taped up the valleys extra good with ice and water shield. That's where leaks *always* happen.
• **Ventilation:** Put in better vents so their attic doesn't turn into an oven. Keeps the house cooler and the shingles from dying early.
• **The Shingles:** Slapped down the high-definition, impact-resistant shingles. They look great and can take a punch.

The Result: Value and Peace of Mind

Since we were already there, we also took care of their drainage mess and did some gutter and downspout services in Pecan Grove. One and done.

Don't Skip the Gutter Talk: Why Drainage Matters

Seriously, your roof is only as good as the stuff that drains the water off it. We see a lot of people drop major cash on new shingles, but then they ignore the gutters. That’s a huge mistake.

The Gutter-to-Roof Connection

• **Clogs are Roof Killers:** Water pooling near the roof edge means the fascia and soffits start soaking it up. Hello, wood rot!
• **Foundation Protection:** A good gutter system moves thousands of gallons of water away from the dirt next to your house, protecting your biggest investment: the foundation itself.
• **Seamless is the Only Way:** We install custom, **seamless aluminum gutters** that have zero leakage points, unlike the cheap sectional stuff you can buy at a big box store.

Our Installation Process: The Tekton Standard

Roofing is a big job, but we make it painless. Here is the six-step drill when you hire us to fix up your place in Pecan Grove. No messing around.

1. Check it Out and Talk it Over

   We don't guess—we use drones and get up there to see everything: shingles, flashing, the whole deal. We figure out the cost, and you pick the color. Easy.

2. Cover Your Stuff Up

   We throw big tarps over your bushes, patio, and everything else. We're messy, but we make sure *your* stuff doesn't get messed up by falling roof garbage.

3. Rip it Off and Check the Wood

   Everything old comes off, right down to the wood deck. If the wood is rotten, we replace it right away. Gotta have a solid base, otherwise, what's the point?

4. System Installation: Build the Defense Layers

   It’s not just shingles; it's a **system**. We put down the underlayment, the metal edge pieces, and all the stuff you never see but that actually keeps the water out for good.

5. Slap Down the Good Shingles

   Our guys are trained, so we nail these things exactly the way the manufacturer says. This guarantees your **warranty is totally valid**, and the shingles will actually handle the 130 mph winds they promise.

6. Meticulous Cleanup and Final Look

   We run those **big magnet sticks** everywhere to pick up every single nail. Seriously, we clean up better than a janitor. Then we walk around with you to make sure everything looks perfect before we pack up.
