PABCO Paramount Advantage

What This Service Involves

Building on the popular Paramount line, Paramount Advantage is PABCO's step-up laminate shingle, offering a thicker, more robust build and deeper shadow definition for homeowners who want extra presence on the roof. Made in Tacoma, it is designed to stand up to the sustained moisture, wind, and gray-sky exposure typical of the Puget Sound region. The added weight and refined color palette give it a premium appearance that reads closer to hand-split shake, making it a strong choice for homeowners upgrading a prominent or high-visibility roofline. Its enhanced construction is aimed at longer service life and better resistance to the elements our coastal climate throws at a roof year after year. Paramount Advantage bridges the gap between everyday architectural shingles and true luxury lines.

Benefits

Thicker, heavier laminate for a more pronounced dimensional look; Enhanced weather resistance suited to wet, windy PNW winters; Locally produced with color blends favored in the region; Upgraded curb appeal that mimics the depth of natural shake; Robust construction geared toward longer roof life

Our Process

1) Remove all existing roofing and inspect the deck, replacing any water-damaged sheathing; 2) Apply high-quality synthetic underlayment with reinforced ice-and-water barrier at vulnerable areas; 3) Install starter courses and lay Paramount Advantage shingles with careful staggering for full dimensional effect; 4) Cap hips and ridges with coordinating accessories, re-flash penetrations, and complete cleanup

What Affects the Cost

Roof square footage and number of stories; Complexity of the roof design, including steep or cut-up sections; Premium shingle and matching accessory selections; Extent of tear-off, disposal, and any decking replacement; Ventilation and flashing improvements needed for a lasting result

Best Time of Year

Summer's warm, dry weather in Puget Sound gives this heavier laminate the best conditions to seal and set properly.
