Signs to watch
Is this you?
Best value for most homes
Architectural shingles deliver 20–25 PNW years at the lowest installed cost per year of service.
Matching the neighborhood
HOAs and appraisals both favor the standard done well.
Selling within ten years
You want the roof that returns the most of its cost at sale. This is it.
Wind exposure
Duration's SureNail strip and HDZ's LayerLock exist for exactly the gusts that come off the Sound and down the Gorge.
Your options
A shingle roof is a system, not a shingle
Owens Corning Duration and GAF Timberline HDZ on top — but the years come from underneath: synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys and at eaves where your climate zone calls for it, new step and counter flashing (never reused), and ridge ventilation matched to intake so your attic doesn't cook the shingles from below.
The method
How we do it
- 01
Inspection & color selection
Physical samples on your roof, in your light — not a brochure under showroom bulbs.
- 02
Tear-off and deck repair
Every sheet of bad decking replaced and photographed, at the per-sheet price printed in your bid — no mid-job surprises.
- 03
System install, 1–2 days
Full manufacturer spec, which is what makes the extended warranty real instead of theoretical.
Straight numbers
Straight numbers
Most architectural shingle replacements we install run $12,000–$22,000. Steeper pitches, multiple tear-off layers, and decking repairs move it up; simple gables move it down. Line-item bids, fixed price, financing from $180/month.
The proof
Proof, not promises
“Peaks and Valleys Construction roofed my 12x12 pitch new construction. Shingles look great and the ridge cap and everything tied together nicely! Easy to deal with and affordable. Would certainly use them again!”
Where we do this work
Asphalt Shingle Roofing: straight answers
Duration or HDZ — which is better?
They're genuine rivals; installation quality separates roofs more than the label does. We'll recommend based on your color, availability, and current warranty terms — and show you both.
What color should I choose in the PNW?
Mid-tone weathered grays and browns hide moss staining and algae streaking best between cleanings. Pure black shows pollen and lichen; pure light colors show everything. We'll bring samples.
Why did my last shingle roof only last 15 years?
Almost always ventilation. A sealed, under-vented attic bakes shingles from beneath and halves their life. Fixing intake/exhaust balance is part of every system we install.
