Asphalt Shingles

Seattle's Most Popular Roofing Material

Architectural asphalt shingles are the workhorse of Pacific Northwest roofing, and for good reason. They handle Seattle's rain, wind, and the occasional snow with ease, while delivering the curb appeal and value homeowners want.

At Vantek, we install premium architectural shingles from Owens Corning and GAF, two of the most trusted names in the industry. These aren't entry-level shingles. They're thick, dimensional, algae resistant products backed by serious manufacturer warranties.

Every install includes full tear off, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at all vulnerable areas, proper ventilation, and precision flashing. We don't cut corners because the details are what make a roof last.

Full FAQ
How much does asphalt shingle roofing cost? +
Architectural asphalt shingle installs in King County typically range from $11,000 to $22,000 for a standard single-family home. The main cost variables are square footage, roof complexity, and the specific product selected. Premium shingles like Owens Corning Duration or GAF Timberline HDZ cost more upfront but deliver significantly better warranties and long-term performance.
How long do architectural shingles last in the Pacific Northwest? +
Quality architectural shingles properly installed typically last 25 to 40 years in our climate. The Pacific Northwest is well-suited for asphalt because temperatures are mild and freeze-thaw cycles are less severe than colder regions. Proper ventilation and installation quality are the biggest factors in getting the most life out of the product.
What shingle brands do you install? +
We primarily work with Owens Corning and GAF, two of the most respected names in residential roofing. Both offer strong manufacturer warranties and a proven track record in the Pacific Northwest. We do not install builder-grade or entry-level products because the performance difference over time is significant.
Can I choose my shingle color and style? +
Yes. We carry samples from our main product lines and can source specific colors upon request. We recommend choosing a shingle that complements your siding and trim rather than matching it directly for the best visual result. We are happy to bring samples to your property so you can see them in context.
What is included beyond the shingles themselves? +
Every asphalt shingle install includes full tear off of existing material, inspection and replacement of any damaged decking, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield at all eaves, valleys, and penetrations, drip edge, ventilation assessment, and precision flashing at all chimneys, skylights, and walls. Nothing is skipped.
