Why Systems Beat Shingles
Good Shingles Fail All the Time. Here's Why Ours Dont.
It's almost never the shingles alone — it's the system, or the lack of one. A shingle is only as strong as what's underneath it and how it responds when the weakest point gets attacked.

Zero Weak Points.
We worked backward from a single question: what would it take to genuinely last 25 years in this specific climate?
01: IKO: Self-Adhered
Ice & Water Shield
Goes down first. Self-adhered to the deck at every vulnerable zone — eaves, valleys, penetrations. Makes the deck itself waterproof before anything else is installed. Non-negotiable in Reno's freeze-thaw climate.
02: IKO: Full Deck Coverage
Synthetic Underlayment
The entire deck gets covered before a single shingle goes on. Your second line of defense against anything that gets past the shingles — wind, debris, or a branch impact mid-storm.
03: IKO: Self-Adhering Starter
Edgeseal Starter
The bottom edge of your roof is the #1 wind entry point on every roof in Reno. EdgeSeal bonds directly to the deck — sealing that gap completely. This step alone separates The Reno Roof from 90% of installations.
04: IKO: Armourzone Technology
Dynasty Shingles
A reinforced center nailing zone built into the shingle itself. You're nailing through significantly more material — dramatically increasing holding power per nail. Rated for 130-mph wind resistance using our installation system.
05: Proprietary: High Sierra
Additional Adhesive Bond
The step that makes the 25-year non-prorated warranty possible — and the step most contractors don't take. Applied at every bond line, creating a secondary seal that holds when standard adhesive hasn't fully cured or has softened in extreme heat.
"Isn't this just More Expensive?"
Yes — not dramatically, but yes. Here's what that comparison actually looks like when you run the numbers.
Prorated Coverage
Basic materials. Standard practices. Your warranty is technically 30 years — but by year 10 you might get 50% of replacement cost. By year 20, maybe 10%.
The fine print quietly reduces your protection every year you own the home. The warranty looks great on paper. It means less every single year.
Year 1 = Year 24. Same Coverage.
Full IKO system. 25-year non-prorated warranty. If something goes wrong in year 15, you get the same coverage as year 1. No sliding scale.
The small difference upfront isn't a cost — it's protection against the most expensive version of the alternative.
Insurance Tip:
Class 4 impact-rated roofing often qualifies for a homeowner's insurance discount. Many Reno homeowners recover the upgrade cost in premium savings within a few years.
