The systems we install
Every reason people call us about a roof
A complete roof is more than shingles: it includes underlayment, leak barrier, starter strip, ridge cap, flashing, and balanced attic ventilation. Excel installs complete GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed systems, tears off to the deck, repairs soft wood before covering it, and backs the workmanship for 5 years.
The strongest manufacturer warranties come from installing the full system — underlayment, leak barrier, starter strip, ridge cap, and ventilation — together, not the shingle alone. We install the whole system and back our labor for 5 years.
Modern architectural shingles have reinforced nailing zones — GAF’s LayerLock, Owens Corning’s SureNail — so they grip the deck and hold their wind rating. With the right starter course and sealed edges, the roof stays put.
Algae-resistant granules keep the black streaks off your roof for years, and the granule blends are engineered to hold their color in the sun instead of washing out.
Balanced attic ventilation — intake at the soffit, exhaust at the ridge — pulls heat and moisture out of the attic. That protects the deck and the shingles and helps with summer cooling. It’s part of the system, not an upsell.
Architectural shingles cast a real shadow line, and the designer lines mimic slate and wood shake. We help you pick a color that fits the house, not a catalog page.
Full tear-off, a clean deck, the right flashing at every wall and valley, and the yard swept of nails before we leave. Same crews, job after job — no stranger sent to your house.
THE EXCEL PROMISE
Three things we hold to on every job — the reasons families call us back and send their neighbors.
Chris still runs the company he started, and the same installers come back job after job. You're never handing your house to a stranger.
We walk you through the options and leave a written proposal — not a high-pressure pitch. You decide on your own time.
Most of our work is repeat and referral — because every job gets the same care and craftsmanship we'd want in our own homes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Most projects run about 6–8 weeks from first call to install day.

Backed For The Long Haul
A roof is only as good as what stands behind it. Here’s exactly what you get — written into your contract, not promised at the door.
We install the complete manufacturer system — not just the shingles — which is what backs the strongest manufacturer warranties. We’ll show you the exact terms for the line you choose.
On every roof we install. If our workmanship is the issue, we make it right — no argument about whose fault it is.
Call us out under warranty and there’s no per-visit charge just to ask. A lot of companies bury that fee. We don’t have one.

GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed — the three biggest names in residential roofing. We’ll help you pick the line and the color that fit your home and your budget.
A roof isn’t just shingles. The underlayment, the leak barrier at the eaves and valleys, the starter strip, the ridge cap, and the attic ventilation all work together — and the manufacturer’s strongest warranties require the full system installed to spec. We install the whole system, not just the top layer.
Yes — a full tear-off down to the deck. We inspect the wood underneath and replace any rotten or soft decking before the new roof goes on. You see anything we find before it’s covered up.
Most residential roofs are a one- to two-day job, weather permitting. We give you a real timeline at the consultation, not a guess.
A manufacturer system warranty on the materials when the full system is installed, plus 5-year Excel labor on the workmanship — and no service-fee gate on a warranty call. The exact terms depend on the line you choose, and they’re written into your contract.
Ready When You Are
A free, no-pressure in-home consultation. We take a look, measure what we need to measure, and leave you with a clear written proposal — not a sales pitch.
