• The number one key to a reliable roofing system is proper installation. Roofs are so costly now that you do not want to try to save money by going with the lowest bidder and then end up having to spend more money repairing your new roof due to improper installation.
• Roof deck or plywood is the wood structure beneath all the shingles and felt paper. After removing all the existing shingles, we carefully examine all roof decking to be sure there is no rot anywhere on the roof. If there is rot, the homeowner will be notified, and decking will be replaced as needed.
• Roof deck protection is the layer of felt paper that goes over the plywood on the roof. This acts as double protection for your roof.
• The leak barrier or ice and water shield is used for added protection in roof valleys, eaves, or roofs with a very low pitch.
• The shingles are single-handedly the most important part of the roofing system because they are the main thing protecting your home from the weather. Whether you choose to go with architectural shingles or 3-tab shingles, it makes sense to choose quality.
• Ridge Vent (Cobra Attic Ventilation) is an important element. Without effective ventilation, excess heat and humidity can cause serious problems. Ridge Vent helps eliminate unwanted moisture that can cause mold and mildew while rotting wood. It also extends the overall life of your shingles.
