RESIDENTIAL ROOFING FAQs

1How much does a roof cost
The price of your roof will vary based on the size (total square footage), pitch, and which material is chosen. C. T. Bates Roofing can provide a free detailed estimate that we e-mail you as soon as possible. This typically takes about 24 hours, depending on your roof. Our estimators are almost always available and can get your estimate started as soon as you call.
2What should I do if I think I have storm damage warning signs?
Don’t wait to get it checked out! You may be eligible for a full insurance covered replacement. Visit our “Insurance Damage Claim” to learn what storm damage is, how best to identify it, and the process of getting your insurance to cover it.
3What's the difference between shingles?
There are two major shingle types available in today's market; these include “three tab” and “architectural shingles”. 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. Architectural shingles are the heaviest and thickest by far, making them very durable but also much heavier and higher in cost. In Georgia, we have seen a shift away from the more inexpensive and short term 3-tab shingle, and it has since been replaced with the much more durable and technologically advanced architectural shingle. Another consideration is each shingle's ability to resist high winds. The wind rating for a 3-tab shingle is 60 mph, while an architectural shingle can withstand winds up to 110 mph.
4How long will a roof last?
Our CertainTeed architectural asphalt roofs are warranted for 30 years. However, the lifespan of your roof greatly depends on the upkeep. Routine annual maintenance is important and will ensure your roof will perform at its best while looking beautiful year-round.
5Will the color and type of shingle I choose affect my home’s resale value?
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. Also, local realtors suggest that selecting decorative and longer lasting Architectural shingles add on average 4% to a home’s total value.
6Can the color of my roof affect my home’s internal temperature?
It can, but there are ways to minimize this effect. While the outdoor temperature may be 70 degrees, a darker colored shingle will absorb sunlight and conduct more heat than a lighter colored shingle. This results in a higher temperature transmitted into the attic and rooms below. By choosing a lighter color shingle, you can potentially lessen the heat absorption of your roof, reducing the temperature and creating a more efficient system. All of this however is very dependent on if your home’s attic is properly insulated and has healthy air flow. A properly ventilated attic allows for constant airflow, which translates to better efficiency of the home’s heating and cooling system. We install the manufacturer's recommended ridge vents, which substantially improves your attic's ability to ventilate and ensures a long and cool life for any new roof.
7Does the shingle brand I install on my roof really matter?
It absolutely does! This is one of our biggest frustrations with the roofing industry today. There are many shingle manufacturers producing a wide variety of shingles at various levels of quality. This means that every shingle is NOT created equal. At C. T. Bates Roofing, we proudly install CertainTeed LANDMARK Series shingles, which contain the highest amount of embedded streak reducing copper available across all shingle companies today. Our shingles are also backed by a 30-year warranty. And the best news is that you get superior quality without inflated prices. Learn more about the products we use and the warranties we offer on our “Straight Talk About Warranties” page.
8Who will be performing the work on my home?
We only select installers that are clean, respectful, and highly skilled in the roofing trade. They will treat your home as if it were their own. Attention is given to the smallest detail.
9What warranty will my roof have?
It all depends on what shingle type you choose. No shingle or shingle manufacturer has the exact same warranty, so to get the details on one specific shingle, please call us or visit our “Straight Talk About Warranties” page to learn more. We know that warranties are very important to our customers, so we strive to be as transparent and upfront as possible about what our warranties do and don’t include.
