Expert Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Lancaster, OH

Why Architectural Asphalt Shingles Remain the Top Choice for Lancaster Homeowners

Asphalt shingles cover more than 80 percent of residential roofs in the United States, and for good reason. Modern architectural shingles combine proven weather protection with an attractive dimensional profile - all at a price point that delivers outstanding value. See our roof replacement cost guide for current pricing. Fairfield Peak Roofing connects you with contractors who install premium asphalt shingle systems from Owens Corning and CertainTeed, engineered to withstand the demanding weather Central Ohio throws at your home year after year.

Lancaster sits in Fairfield County where seasonal temperature swings regularly exceed 100 degrees between winter lows and summer highs. Those freeze-thaw cycles stress roofing materials in ways that coastal or southern climates never do. That is why material selection matters as much as installation quality, and the contractors in our network refuse to cut corners on either.

Owens Corning Duration and TruDefinition Lines

The most popular product line is the Owens Corning Duration series. These shingles feature SureNail Technology, a reinforced nailing strip that delivers 130 MPH wind warranty performance without requiring additional adhesive or six-nail patterns. For homeowners who want the highest hail resistance available, contractors in our network offer the Duration FLEX line with Class 4 impact ratings - an important consideration after the severe storms that hit Fairfield County in recent years.

Contractors in our network also install the Owens Corning TruDefinition line for budget-conscious projects where a 25-year warranty is adequate. These shingles still offer the layered, dimensional look of more expensive products at a lower per-square cost.

CertainTeed Landmark and Landmark Pro

CertainTeed’s Landmark shingles are another excellent option for Lancaster homeowners. The Landmark Pro series features a wider, more dramatic exposure that creates a bold shadow line on your roof. Both products carry the NailTrak nailing guide for precise fastener placement, which directly affects wind and weather performance.

CertainTeed’s SureStart warranty provides 100 percent replacement cost coverage during the first years of ownership, with a lifetime limited warranty that follows. When you hire a CertainTeed credentialed installer like Fairfield Peak Roofing, you gain access to enhanced warranty options that cover labor as well as materials.

Proper Installation Protects Your Investment

Even the best shingles will fail prematurely if they are installed incorrectly. Contractors in our network follow a strict installation sequence designed for long-term performance in Ohio’s climate:

Deck inspection and repair - Every square foot of roof sheathing is checked, and any soft or delaminated OSB is replaced before new materials go down.

Ice-and-water shield - Applied at all eaves, valleys, and around penetrations such as plumbing vents and chimneys. This self-adhering membrane is your last line of defense against ice-dam leaks.

Synthetic underlayment - High-quality synthetic felt is used over the entire roof deck for an additional moisture barrier and improved walkability during installation.

Starter strip and shingle courses - Factory-made starter strips with adhesive backing are installed at eaves and rakes. Shingle courses follow the manufacturer’s specified offset pattern and nailing schedule.

Ventilation balancing - Ridge vents paired with soffit intake ensure continuous airflow that prevents moisture buildup and heat damage to shingles from the underside.

What to Expect During Your Roofing Project

Most residential re-roofs in Lancaster take one to two working days depending on the size and complexity of your roof. The contractor’s crew arrives early, lays protective tarps over landscaping and walkways, and begins tear-off immediately. Old materials go directly into a dumpster staged in your driveway.

After installation, magnetic nail sweepers are run across your yard and driveway at least three times. A project manager walks the completed roof with you, points out key details like flashing work and ventilation, and explains how to register your manufacturer warranty.
