Architectural Shingle Roofing in Berkeley Lake, GA
A durable, attractive roof with every component listed in the quote and installed as the manufacturer directs.
Every Component of a Shingle Roof, Accounted For
Architectural shingles are laminated in layers, giving them greater thickness and weight than the older flat 3-tab style and a dimensional appearance that adds depth to a roofline while helping to disguise minor irregularities in the deck. They are also generally more resistant to wind. Yet the shingles are only one part of a system whose performance depends on the components around them, and a quote that lists only the shingles leaves most of that system undefined. Ours specifies each element by quantity: squares of field shingles, linear feet of starter at eaves and rakes, ridge cap for every ridge and hip, synthetic underlayment for the full deck, leak barrier for eaves, valleys and penetrations, drip edge, step flashing and pipe collars, along with any ventilation corrections the attic requires. Installation then follows the manufacturer's instructions precisely, with fasteners in the designated nailing zone at the specified count. Because we are an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, qualifying Owens Corning shingle roofs we install can be eligible for manufacturer-backed shingle warranty options through that program, which we explain in detail so you can decide whether one suits you.
