Before shingles are installed, we begin with two rows of ice and water shield along the most vulnerable areas of the roof. The remainder of the roof is then covered with high-quality synthetic underlayment. This layered system provides critical protection against moisture and weather damage.

Underlayment is essential because it serves as the first line of defense against ice and water infiltration. It protects your roof deck underneath the shingles or metal roofing. Your roofing material is the second layer of protection, but the underlayment is what helps prevent leaks and long-term structural damage.

Your roof needs to breathe in order to reach its full life expectancy. Proper ventilation allows consistent airflow in and out of your attic space, preventing heat and moisture buildup.

Ventilation is calculated based on the size of your roof, using specific airflow ratios. When done correctly, it helps prevent shingles from curling, reduces premature wear, and can extend the roof’s lifespan to 25 years or more. We specialize in designing ventilation systems that are customized for each home.
