Shingle Roofing
Types of Shingle Roofs We Offer
Architectural Shingles
Architectural shingles are durable and offer a dimensional look, with enhanced resistance to weather. They come in various colors and styles, combining strength with a sleek appearance.
Designer Shingles
Designer shingles deliver a premium, high-end look, mimicking materials like slate or wood shake. They often have the largest impact rating and highest wind speeds.
Installation Process
1. Remove Old Roof & Inspect Deck
Before any installation begins, the old roof is removed. We will inspect the roof deck for damage and make any necessary repairs to ensure a nailable surface.
2. Install Leak Barrier & Replace Flashings
Leak barrier is applied in any valleys & around all penetrations to help protect against wind-driven rain and ice dams.
3. Install Underlayment
The underlayment is installed to keep the roof deck dry and strong. This layer helps prevent water infiltration while also providing a breathable barrier to reduce moisture buildup.
4. Apply Starter Strip Shingles
Starter strip shingles are installed along the eaves and rakes of the roof. These help lock down the field shingles and reduce the risk of blow-offs during high winds.
5. Install Shingles
The main layer of shingles is installed, adding both beauty and protection to the home. We offer a variety of shingle styles and colors to suit your home’s design.
6. Install Attic Ventilation
Ridge Vent is added to help reduce heat and moisture buildup in the attic, promoting proper airflow and increasing the longevity of your roof. Attic fans are also a popular option in regions with warmer climates
7. Add Ridge Cap Shingles
Finally, color-matched ridge cap shingles are installed along the roof’s ridges and hips. These enhance the roof’s aesthetic and provide an additional layer of protection at critical points.
