Roofing
With thousands of roofing projects completed over the years, you can count on The Legends to install any roofing system properly and with ease.
From the shed in your backyard to a large commercial roof, every step of your project will be done precisely from start to finish.
Legend Exteriors is a GAF Master Elite Contractor. What does that mean? And why should it matter?
Being a GAF Master Elite Certified Contractor means that we have gone through a higher screening process and level of training (highest in the country) to install a GAF roof with GAF components.
Legend Exteriors is one-third of the way to the GAF Master Elite President’s Club—a badge that less than half Master Elite contractors qualify for. Because we are LEGENDS, this badge of honor is something we, as a company and a local roofing contractor, is striving for every single day.
To be in the GAF President’s Club means to demonstrate excellence in three key areas: Performance, Reliability, and Service. It also means that Legend has installed a minimum number of GAF roofs over the prior year, with recognized strengths in those three categories.
From asphalt shingles to cedar shake and tile, we specialize in all types of roofing repairs and replacements.
Material Matters
ASPHALT Q&A
How long will an asphalt roof last?
Asphalt shingles have an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years, depending on shingle type, weather, and climate. It’s always good to have your roof inspected if you suspect damage or age.

Which is better? Architectural or 3-Tab? ?
In short, Legend Exteriors prefers Architectural Asphalt Shingles over 3-Tab, and here’s why:
In short, Legend Exteriors prefers Architectural Asphalt Shingles over 3-Tab, and here’s why:
- Increased Lifespan
- Better Adhesion & Higher Wind Ratings
- Exceptional Curb Appeal
Architectural shingles are more substantial than 3-Tab and are roughly 50% heavier. The base is thicker and there are more granules to the top surface. We nearly always suggest upgrading to an Architectural shingle because of the increased durability, but also because of the aesthetics. Architectural shingles have more of a dimensional look to the roof that add to a home’s curb appeal.
Natural Cedar Shake
Red Cedar Shake is a stunning look and a worthwhile investment that fulfills all needs in a roofing material. They are just as popular with modern-day architects and builders as they were when they were first used in the nineteenth century.
Cut from the strong, rich Western Red Cedar, red cedar shakes are manufactured by highlighting the natural grain and texture of this distinctive wood. Our supplier’s premium-quality products have earned a reputation across North America for their unbeatable strength and longevity, high insulation value, unique texture, and natural resistance to decay.
