Most people think of a new roof as just banging up some shingles. Today, effective roofing relies on advanced material technology and an integrated approach to protect your biggest asset-your home. There are multiple elements that are necessary for a quality roof. These include:
- Flashing Protect areas vulnerable to leaks: skylights, vents, chimneys, etc.
- Roofing Cement Ideal to hand tap shingles and also to waterproof effectively around those areas vulnerable to leaks
- Ventilation The building code requires all roof structures be provided with proper ventilation.
- Valley Treatment (roll roofing and membranes) Stops damage due to snow and ice build up.
- Edge Treatment (drip edge) For efficient water shedding at the roof’s edge.
- Eaves Protection (Gripgard or Progard Plus) Waterproofing membrane provides necessary protection against winter freeze/ thaw cycles.
- Underlayment Sheds water that may be driven under the shingles by high winds.
- Shingles Shingles determine the ultimate longevity of the roof.
