Picking the Right Shingle
There are three broad grades. Flat 3-tab shingles are the thinnest and the cheapest, and fewer roofers offer them now. Architectural shingles, sometimes called dimensional, are thicker and layered, so they cast small shadows and hold up better in wind. Premium lines add weight, a deeper look, or an impact rating meant to stand up to hail.
Around Conway, many homes from the 2000s growth years are now due for their first new roof, and architectural shingles are the usual pick. The right grade depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay and what your HOA allows.
Common Situations
Homeowners here usually call about one of these.
- Curling or cracked tabs. Shingles that cup, split or shed grit into the gutters after years of summer sun are near the end of their life.
- Dark streaks on the north side. Humid air and shade from big trees feed algae. Algae-resistant shingles have granules that slow those stains from coming back.
- Bruises after a spring storm. Hail and wind can knock off granules or lift tabs. A roofer can photograph what they find.
- Leaves packed into valleys. Valleys under oaks and pines hold wet debris, which wears shingles faster and lets water creep under the edges.
- A hot, damp attic. Poor airflow bakes shingles from below. Ask the roofer to check the intake and ridge vents while the roof is open.
The Cost of Shingle Roof Replacement
These statewide 2026 rows from RoofObservations are priced per square foot of roof surface. The step from 3-tab to architectural is small. Pitch, layers to tear off, valleys, skylights and rotten decking all move the final number.

|---|---|---|
| Arkansas 3-tab shingles, per sq ft | about $4.80 | RoofObservations, 2026 |

Inspection, Estimate, Install
- Send the basics. Use the form or call (501) 555-0196 and tell us the roof's rough age.
- Hear from one roofer. One independent roofer who serves Faulkner County calls to set a time.
- Get the roof checked. Shingles, flashing, pipe boots, vents and the decking from the attic.
- Read the written quote. Look for the shingle line and color, underlayment, drip edge, venting, a per-sheet decking price and cleanup.
- Do your homework. Check the roofer's state roofing registration on the Contractors Licensing Board's online lookup. Before work starts, ask whether a City of Conway permit applies and who will file it; the city's permit office at (501) 450-6107 can answer that.
- Install day. The roofer's crew strips the old layers, fixes soft wood, shingles the roof and hauls off debris.
What Sets This Apart
We are a free referral service, not a roofer. Your request goes to one local roofer, who may pay us a fee for it. You pay us nothing and receive nothing in return.
- Paperwork to ask for. Proof of general liability and workers' comp coverage, a local address, a few references and a line-by-line contract.
- Two warranties, both written. The shingle maker covers the product and the roofer covers the labor. Ask the roofer to register the maker's warranty.
- Photos of the deck. Ask for pictures once the old shingles are off, so you can see any decking that was replaced.
Before You Book
Does my HOA get a say in shingle color?
If your neighborhood has an active HOA, it may limit color or style. Get approval in writing before the roofer orders materials. A house inside Conway's Robinson Historic District or Old Conway Design Overlay District may also need the city's design review, so call before switching materials.
Are impact-rated shingles worth the extra money?
They can be if your insurer gives a credit for them, but each company sets its own terms and some offer none. Call your agent first and ask what proof of the rating they need, then weigh the price gap against any savings.
Can new shingles go over the old ones?
A second layer saves tear-off labor, but it hides the decking and adds weight. A full tear-off lets the roofer find soft wood and redo the flashing. Ask which approach the quote uses, and get it in the contract along with a per-sheet price for any decking that needs replacing.
My insurer is paying. What should I know first?
The claim is between you and your insurer; a roofer can only document damage and write an estimate. Turn down any offer to pay or waive your deductible; that bill is yours. If you get a written denial of all or part of the claim, Arkansas gives you three business days after it to cancel the contract.
