Atlas Shingles and Asphalt Roofing FAQs
Pegasus Roofing and Construction uses Atlas Shingles, along with Scotchgard protection.
Scotchgard Protector on Atlas shingles helps resist the black streaks caused by algae, keeping the roof looking cleaner longer.
Black streaks are usually caused by algae that grows on shingles in humid climates like Arkansas.
Architectural shingles are thicker, laminated shingles with a dimensional look. They typically offer better wind resistance and longer warranties than three-tab shingles.
Class 4 is the highest impact rating for shingles under UL 2218 testing. Some insurers offer discounts for impact-rated roofs.
Shingle warranties cover manufacturing defects, while workmanship warranties cover installation. Enhanced warranties often require specific components and installation by a qualified contractor.
Yes. Asphalt shingles come in many colors and blends to complement different home styles.
Shingles are tested and rated for wind resistance, and proper nailing and sealing are critical to reaching those ratings.
Underlayment is a water-resistant layer installed over the decking beneath shingles to provide backup protection against wind-driven rain.
Ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane installed in valleys, around penetrations, and at eaves to protect vulnerable areas from leaks.
Deck Building FAQs
Yes. Pegasus Roofing and Construction builds custom decks for residential homes across Central Arkansas.
Common deck materials include pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and composite decking.
Pressure-treated pine is the most common deck lumber, while cedar and composite are popular upgrades.
Composite decking can get hot in direct sun, especially darker colors. Lighter colors stay cooler.
Many cities require permits for decks, especially raised or attached decks.
Yes. Decks can be built on slopes using taller posts, multiple levels, or stairs.
Keep boards clean, seal wood regularly, ensure good drainage, and use proper spacing and flashing at the house.
A well-built deck adds usable outdoor living space and can boost property value.
A ledger board attaches a deck to the house. Proper flashing and fastening are critical for safety.
A covered deck or pergola adds shade and weather protection, which helps in hot Arkansas summers.
Fence Installation FAQs
Yes. Pegasus Roofing and Construction installs privacy fences and other residential fencing.
Wood privacy fences are one of the most popular choices for backyards, along with vinyl and metal options.
Pressure-treated pine is affordable and common, while cedar offers natural rot resistance and a richer look.
Many HOAs set rules for fence height, material, color, and placement. Get HOA approval before installation.
Yes. Confirming the property line helps avoid disputes with neighbors.
Fence posts are commonly set about one-third of their above-ground height into the ground, often in concrete, for stability.
Many homeowners and HOAs expect the finished side of the fence to face outward toward neighbors and the street.
Yes. Fences can be stepped or racked to follow slopes and uneven terrain.
Many homeowners policies cover fences under other structures coverage for damage from covered events like wind or falling trees.
New pressure-treated wood often needs time to dry before staining. Many installers suggest waiting several weeks to a few months.
Gutter and Gutter Guard FAQs
Pegasus Roofing and Construction specializes in 5-inch and 6-inch residential K-style gutters.
K-style gutters have a flat back and decorative front that resembles crown molding. They carry more water than half-round gutters of the same width.
Five-inch gutters work for many homes, while six-inch gutters handle more water and suit steep or large roofs and heavy rainfall.
Quality gutter guards keep most leaves and debris out, reducing clogs and cleaning. Pegasus uses quality gutter guard systems.
Gutters carry water away from the roof edge, siding, and foundation, preventing rot, erosion, and foundation problems.
Signs include sagging, leaking seams, rust, water overflowing, gutters pulling away from the fascia, and water pooling near the foundation.
Guards greatly reduce cleaning, but an occasional rinse or check keeps fine debris like pine needles and shingle grit from building up.
Many homes need a downspout for roughly every 30 to 40 feet of gutter, plus extras at corners or where large roof sections drain.
Often, yes. Dents in gutters and downspouts help show hail size and impact, which supports a roof damage assessment.
Yes. Installing gutters along with a new roof allows drip edge and fascia details to be coordinated.
Insurance Claim Assistance and Denied Claim FAQs
Yes. Pegasus Roofing and Construction has guided hundreds of Arkansas homeowners through the claims process, working alongside them from initial inspection to final paperwork.
No. Pegasus Roofing and Construction is a licensed contractor that provides claim assistance. It is not a public adjuster.
A contractor inspects, documents, and repairs damage. A public adjuster is licensed to represent and negotiate a claim on the homeowner's behalf for a fee.
Ask your insurer for the denial in writing, review the policy language, gather inspection photos and documentation, and discuss options such as requesting a reinspection. Pegasus has experience helping homeowners after denied claims.
Claims are often denied because damage is attributed to wear and tear, the storm date cannot be connected to the damage, the claim was filed too late, or the damage falls below the deductible.
A reinspection is a second visit by the insurance adjuster to review damage, often requested when a homeowner disagrees with the first decision.
Your deductible is the amount you pay before insurance pays. Many Arkansas policies have wind and hail deductibles that may be a flat amount or a percentage of the dwelling coverage.
Depreciation reduces the payout based on the roof's age. On replacement cost policies, some depreciation may be recoverable after the work is completed.
If a claim does not pan out, Pegasus can provide a fair price for the work paid out of pocket.
File as soon as possible after a storm. Policies require prompt notice, and delays can make it harder to connect damage to a specific event.
Metal Stone-Coated Steel Tile and Slate Roofing FAQs
Metal roofs often last 40 to 70 years, depending on the material, coating, and installation.
Metal roofs installed over solid decking and underlayment are usually not much louder than shingle roofs.
Stone-coated steel is a steel roofing panel coated with stone granules, giving the look of shingles, tile, or shake with the strength and longevity of metal.
Stone-coated steel is known for strong impact resistance and many products carry high impact ratings, making it a popular choice in hail-prone areas.
Spanish tile roofing uses curved clay or concrete tiles that create a distinctive barrel look. Tile is heavy and very long-lasting.
Tile and slate are much heavier than shingles, so the roof structure must be evaluated to ensure it can support the weight.
Natural slate roofs can last 75 years or more with proper installation and maintenance.
Metal roofs cost more upfront but can last much longer, reflect heat, and resist wind, which can make them a strong long-term value.
In some cases metal can be installed over one layer of shingles, but removing the old roof allows the decking to be inspected. The best approach depends on local code and the roof condition.
Yes. Pegasus Roofing and Construction installs metal, stone-coated steel, slate, and Spanish-style tile roofing systems.
Roof Inspection FAQs
Yes. Pegasus Roofing and Construction offers free roof inspections with honest assessments.
Schedule an inspection after hail or high winds, before buying or selling a home, when you notice leaks or missing shingles, and periodically as your roof ages.
An inspector checks shingles, flashing, vents, pipe boots, gutters, decking, and signs of hail or wind damage, and documents findings with photos.
Not always. Many exterior inspections can be done while you are away, but being home lets the inspector check attic spaces and ceilings for leaks.
Yes. Hail bruising, granule loss, and lifted shingles are often invisible from the ground.
Climbing on a roof is dangerous. You can look for debris, missing shingles, and dented gutters from the ground and leave the rooftop inspection to a professional.
Yes. Photos and documentation from an inspection help show what damage exists before you file a claim.
A roof inspection helps buyers understand the roof's age, condition, and potential repair costs before closing.
Yes. Roofs past about 15 years benefit from closer attention, since aging shingles lose granules and seal strength and are more likely to fail in storms.
Call or text (501) 259-6023 or request an inspection through the website.
Roof Repair and Hail Damage FAQs
Signs of hail damage include dark spots where granules are knocked loose, soft or bruised areas on shingles, cracked shingles, and dents in gutters, vents, and downspouts.
Many leaks can be repaired by replacing damaged shingles, flashing, pipe boots, or sealant. The key is finding the true source, since water often travels before it shows inside.
Leaks are commonly caused by damaged or missing shingles, failed flashing around chimneys and walls, cracked pipe boots, clogged gutters, and storm damage.
Yes. Delaying repairs can let water reach the decking, insulation, and ceilings, and it can complicate an insurance claim.
Yes. After the tree is removed, damaged decking, rafters, and roofing can be repaired, or the roof can be replaced if damage is extensive.
A pipe boot is the flashing that seals around plumbing vent pipes on the roof. Rubber boots crack with age and are a common leak source.
Yes. Missing shingles can be replaced, though matching older shingles exactly may be difficult.
Most roof repairs can be completed in a few hours to a day, depending on the damage and weather.
Chimney flashing fails when sealant dries out, metal corrodes, or the chimney and roof move at different rates. Step and counter flashing installed correctly keeps water out of that seam.
Yes. Pegasus Roofing and Construction provides hail damage repairs, roof replacements, and free inspections.
Roof Replacement FAQs in Ward and Central Arkansas
Common signs include shingles that are curling, cupping, or cracking, bald spots where granules have washed away, sagging rooflines, recurring leaks, and a roof that is 20 or more years old. Arkansas hail and wind can push a roof into replacement sooner than its age suggests.
Repair usually makes sense for isolated damage on a newer roof. Replacement is often the better value when damage is widespread, leaks keep returning, or the roof is near the end of its expected life.
Pegasus Roofing and Construction installs asphalt shingles, metal roofing, stone-coated steel, slate, and Spanish-style tile roofing systems.
A quality architectural shingle roof commonly lasts about 20 to 30 years, depending on ventilation, installation, and how much severe weather the roof sees.
A full replacement usually includes tearing off the old roof, inspecting and replacing damaged decking, installing underlayment, drip edge, flashing, and ventilation, installing the new roofing, and cleaning up the property.
Balanced attic ventilation releases summer heat and winter moisture. Poor ventilation shortens shingle life, can void manufacturer warranties, and raises cooling bills.
Yes. Most homeowners stay home during the work, though it will be noisy. Move vehicles out of the driveway and keep pets and children away from the work area.
A new roof improves curb appeal, helps homes pass buyer inspections, and can make insurance easier to obtain, all of which support home value.
Consider your siding, trim, neighborhood style, and how much sun the roof gets. Lighter colors reflect more heat, while darker colors can hide staining.
Call or text Pegasus Roofing and Construction at (501) 259-6023 or request a free inspection online.
Siding Installation and Replacement FAQs
Yes. Pegasus Roofing and Construction provides siding installation, repairs, and full replacements.
Look for cracked, warped, or loose panels, soft spots, rot, fading, and moisture or mold behind the siding.
Small areas can often be repaired if matching material is available. Widespread damage usually calls for replacement.
Common siding materials include vinyl, fiber cement, engineered wood, and metal.
Replacing siding is the best time to repair or replace house wrap, which blocks air and water behind the siding.
Hail damage on vinyl siding appears as cracks, holes, chips, or dents, often concentrated on the side of the home facing the storm.
Yes, if matching material is available. Color fading can make new panels look different, which is why storm claims sometimes cover full sides.
New siding improves curb appeal and protects the home, which supports resale value.
Yes. Coordinating both projects creates a cohesive look and can simplify storm claims.
Consider your roof color, trim, and neighborhood style, and view samples in natural light.
Window Replacement FAQs
Yes. Pegasus Roofing and Construction handles window replacement from selection to final installation.
Consider replacement when windows are drafty, fogged between panes, hard to operate, rotting, or leaking.
Energy-efficient windows use insulated glass, low-E coatings, gas fills between panes, and tight, well-sealed frames.
Fog between panes means the seal has failed, reducing insulating value.
Yes. Windows can be replaced one at a time, so each opening is exposed only briefly during installation.
New windows improve comfort, energy efficiency, and curb appeal, and they are among the upgrades that add home value.
Common styles include single-hung, double-hung, sliding, casement, and picture windows.
Double-pane and laminated glass windows can noticeably reduce outside noise compared to older single-pane windows.
Yes. Hail can crack glass and damage frames and screens.
