Shingle roofing remains the most popular roofing material in the United States, covering approximately eighty percent of all residential structures. The reasons for this dominance are clear: asphalt shingles offer an outstanding combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and cost effectiveness that few other materials can match. With lifespans ranging from twenty to fifty years depending on the product selected, shingle roofing provides reliable protection that homeowners and property managers can count on for decades.
Our Shingle Roofing Installation Process
We follow a meticulous installation methodology that ensures every roof we complete meets the highest industry standards. The process begins with a thorough inspection of your existing roof deck to identify any structural damage, rot, or moisture issues that need to be addressed before new shingles are applied. This step is critical because even the finest shingles will underperform if installed over a compromised substrate. Our team carefully examines every square foot of decking and makes necessary repairs before moving forward.
Once the deck is sound, we install a high-quality underlayment system that serves as a secondary moisture barrier. We then apply ice and water shield along eaves, valleys, and around penetrations such as chimneys, vents, and skylights. Starter strips are placed along the eaves and rakes before the field shingles are installed using precise nailing patterns specified by the manufacturer. Ridge caps and proper ventilation components complete the system. As a GAF certified contractor, we follow manufacturer specifications to the letter, which ensures your warranty remains fully intact and your roof performs as designed.
