What Makes Up an Asphalt Shingle Roofing System?

A roof replacement is a system of materials and details, not just new shingles. The estimate should specify the important components.

Deck and water protection

The roof deck is the base. Ice and water protection and underlayment help protect vulnerable surfaces; damaged decking may need repair as part of the project scope.

Starter, shingles and caps

Starter shingles, field shingles and ridge caps are selected as part of the roof assembly. Confirm brands and products in the proposal.

Flashing and ventilation

Flashing manages transitions and penetrations. Properly considered intake and exhaust ventilation are important for roof performance and should be discussed for the home.
