Engineered commercial performance for Architectural Shingles.
Architectural (dimensional) asphalt shingles are the most common steep-slope roofing material for multi-family residential, mixed-use, and light commercial buildings with pitched roofs. Modern architectural shingles are laminated for depth and dimension, rated for high wind (up to 130 mph with proper installation), and available in impact-resistant classes that earn insurance credits. Datum Roofing installs, repairs, and replaces GAF and CertainTeed architectural and designer shingle systems on condominiums, apartment complexes, and commercial steep-slope buildings throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Why Property Owners Choose Architectural Shingles
- Cost-effective steep-slope solution for multi-family and mixed-use buildings
- Wind-rated up to 130 mph with proper fastening and sealing
- Impact-resistant Class 3 and Class 4 options reduce hail damage and insurance premiums
- Wide range of colors and profiles to match condominium and HOA design standards
- Algae-resistant granules keep steep-slope roofs looking clean on shaded exposures
Datum Installation Process
Installed over synthetic underlayment with ice & water shield at eaves, valleys, and penetrations, fastened with corrosion-resistant roofing nails and sealed with compatible asphalt cement at critical flashing points.
Coastal Wind & Weather Engineering
Wind-rated architectural shingles with reinforced seal strips and six-nail fastening hold up to coastal wind exposure when properly specified for the wind zone.

Our estimating process for Architectural Shingles Projects: thorough by design, zero surprises.
With deep roots in engineering and structural restoration, Datum takes existing conditions seriously. In commercial roofing, change orders are often treated as business as usual — but to us, too many change orders are a black mark. Our estimating is always 100% free, but engineered to be exhaustive before work begins.
Only 6% of our roof replacements involve a change order.
That low rate is the direct result of core samples, deck verification, and moisture scans completed before we price the work.
Projects finish on time — and yes, we're proud of that .7%!
Detailed phasing, tenant coordination, and weather buffers keep condominium boards and owners on schedule.
Exhaustive existing condition analysis at no charge.
Full condition audit, core cuts, moisture maps, and written replacement vs. repair options for your board or management company.
1. Core sampling & deck verification
We take physical core cuts through the membrane to verify the exact assembly underneath — number of existing plies, insulation type and thickness, substrate condition, and deck type (concrete, metal, wood, gypsum). No guessing.
2. Thermal moisture scanning
Non-destructive electronic moisture meters and infrared thermal imaging map trapped moisture pockets across the roof deck so wet insulation is quantified before the proposal is written — not discovered during tear-off.
3. Ventilation & intake/exhaust analysis
We calculate intake, exhaust, and rooftop airflow dynamics to prevent condensation, pressure imbalance, and premature membrane failure. A low-slope roof without proper ventilation engineering traps moisture from below.
4. Structural condition & load review
Drawing on Lasher's 30+ years in structural restoration and engineering, we evaluate parapets, expansion joints, deck deflection, and drainage slopes so every structural constraint is solved in the upfront scope.
