We perform a rigorous check using physical inspections and drone cameras to map out required fixes.
Our highly trained installation crews execute the repairs or tear-off according to building regulations.
At Ramos Roofing Plus, we don't just nail down shingles. We engineer complete residential roofing systems designed to stand up to the severe thunderstorms, windstorms, and hail events common in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
We specialize in installing TAMKO Titan XT and Malarkey Bella Vista Class 4 shingles. These products represent the state-of-the-art in shingle technology. Malarkey shingles feature polymer-modified asphalt for rubberized flexibility (hail absorption), while Titan XT features a reinforced common bond line that locks down against winds up to 160 MPH.
Whether you need a minor repair after a hail storm or a full roof replacement, our 6+ factory-trained crews ensure your roof is installed quickly and cleanly, typically completing residential projects in just 1 to 2 days.
We offer a wide selection of residential shingles, including traditional 3-tab composite shingles, dimensional/architectural shingles, and premium Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. We partner with top manufacturers like TAMKO and Malarkey to provide heavy-duty shingles that offer exceptional wind resistance, deep shadow lines, and advanced protection against severe weather.
Premium architectural asphalt shingles are engineered to last 25 to 30 years with proper installation and ventilation. Their multi-layered, laminated design makes them significantly more durable than traditional 3-tab shingles, allowing them to withstand wind gusts up to 130 MPH and resist thermal cracking from extreme summer heat.
Yes, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are highly recommended for storm-prone regions in Arkansas and Oklahoma. These shingles are modified with rubberized polymers that allow them to absorb the impact of hail up to 2 inches in size without fracturing. Installing Class 4 shingles protects your roof and often qualifies you for substantial discounts on your homeowner's insurance premiums.
Shingles are coated with mineral granules to protect the underlying asphalt from solar UV rays. Some granule loss is normal on new roofs as loose granules shed. However, heavy granule loss that leaves bald spots indicates that your shingles are aging and drying out. Exposed asphalt degrades quickly under UV rays, making shingles brittle and prone to leaks.
Wind-resistant shingles, like the TAMKO Titan XT line, are designed with a reinforced nail zone and high-strength sealants. This anchors the shingles to the roof deck, preventing wind from getting underneath and lifting them. These shingles carry a Class H wind rating, meaning they can withstand wind speeds up to 160 MPH during severe storms.
While building codes may allow a two-layer roof overlay, we do not recommend it. An overlay prevents us from inspecting the decking for rot, traps heat and moisture, adds excessive weight, and often voids manufacturer warranties. We always recommend tearing off the old shingles down to the deck to ensure a clean, long-lasting installation.
Black streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of blue-green algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles in humid climates. To prevent this, we install shingles equipped with copper-coated granules, such as Scotchgard protector systems. These granules naturally inhibit algae growth, preserving your roof's appearance.
We provide a dual warranty: a manufacturer's material warranty and our workmanship warranty. Premium architectural shingles carry limited lifetime manufacturer warranties. As certified contractors, we can also offer extended systems warranties that cover both materials and labor for up to 50 years, backed directly by the manufacturer.
We provide physical shingle samples and color boards to help you match your siding, trim, and brick. Popular colors range from classic Charcoal and Weathered Wood to rare designer tones like Forest Green and Deep Crimson Red. We also offer digital visualization tools to preview how different colors will look on your home.
