What Makes Up a Roofing System?

A properly installed roofing system includes several key components:

Roof Decking (Sheathing)

The foundation of your roof, decking provides structural support and a base for shingles. If it's damaged, sagging, or rotting, it must be replaced to ensure a strong roof.

Underlayment

This waterproof layer sits between the decking and shingles, protecting your home from water getting in. We use high-quality synthetic and felt underlayments for superior durability.

Flashing

Flashing is installed around roof valleys, chimneys, vents, and skylights to direct water away from vulnerable areas. Properly installed flashing prevents leaks and extends your roof’s lifespan.

Roofing Material (Shingles, Metal, etc.)

Your choice of roofing material impacts durability, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. We offer: Asphalt shingles, Metal roofing, and Fortified Roof systems.

Roof Valleys

Roof valleys are where two roof slopes meet, making them a high-risk area for leaks. Proper installation and reinforced flashing ensure these areas drain water effectively.

Ventilation System

A well-ventilated roof regulates temperature and moisture, preventing mold, ice dams, and premature roof aging. We install ridge vents, soffit vents, and attic ventilation to maximize efficiency.
