Manchester Premium Roofing provides professional asphalt shingle roofs in Manchester, NH for residential and commercial properties across southern New Hampshire. For most Manchester houses asphalt shingle remains the sensible covering, and the decisions worth arguing over have nothing to do with brand. They concern the standard a shingle is tested to, the way it is nailed down, and what its warranty genuinely promises.
We specify by standard. ASTM D3462 is the manufacturing standard a laminate shingle should meet, and ASTM D7158 gives its wind classification. Naming those on a scope lets you compare two bids that quote different brands, which a brand name alone never lets you do. Salespeople prefer brand names for exactly that reason. Two bids quoting different brands become comparable the moment both name a standard.
Fastening decides more than the shingle does. Six nails per shingle placed in the nailing zone, not above it, and long enough to reach properly into the deck below, is the difference between a roof that lasts its rating and one that peels at the perimeter. On an older Manchester deck the fastener length is a real question, not a formality, and it goes in the written schedule.
The warranty conversation is where we differ from most companies. A manufacturer's shingle warranty covers the shingle, prorated, and excludes labor, flashing and anything to do with installation, which is where roofs actually fail. The document that will matter to you is the workmanship warranty from the contractor, and in New Hampshire that document is what the statute reads to decide what a defect even is.
So we hand you the workmanship warranty before you sign rather than after the job. Read the exclusions. If a contractor will not show you that page until the work is done, you are being asked to buy the one piece of protection you have without seeing it. It is one page, it takes two minutes, and it is the only protection specific to your house.
Where we push back is on the premium designer lines. On most Manchester houses the heavier profile buys appearance and very little service life, and the money moves the needle much further if it goes into flashing metal, a proper starter and edge detail, and fixing the ventilation. We will quote the upgrade if you want it, with that opinion attached. Appearance is a legitimate reason to spend money, provided you know that is what you are buying.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, net free ventilating area computed to IRC R806.2, a saddle framed to the 30-inch chimney threshold — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Manchester and nearby communities including Bedford, Goffstown, Hooksett, Merrimack.

Materials, equipment and how we do asphalt shingle roofs
The difference between asphalt shingle roofs that lasts and asphalt shingle roofs that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with surface-mounted counterflashing anchored above the mortar line, joints raked and repointed in soft Type O lime mortar, lead wedges setting flashing into a raked brick joint, shingles tested to ASTM D3462 and classified to D7158, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Manchester job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in southern New Hampshire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
