Most Common Roofing Issues Solved With Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are highly effective at resolving a wide range of roofing problems. Here are the most common issues they help address:
Water Leaks – Sealed overlaps and waterproof layers prevent interior moisture intrusion.
Missing Shingles – Easy replacement restores full roof protection without full re-roofing.
Curling or Buckling – Fresh shingles lay flat and resist wind uplift and deformation.
Granule Loss – New shingles restore UV protection and extend roof lifespan.
Punctures or Cracks – Asphalt’s flexibility helps absorb impact and prevent structural damage.
Poor Ventilation – Integrated ridge vents promote airflow and prevent attic heat buildup.
Our Step-by-Step Shingle Roof Installation Process
Installing an asphalt shingle roof requires precision, proper sequencing, and adherence to building codes. Here’s how we complete a professional shingle roof installation from start to finish:
Step 1: Roof Inspection and Project Planning
We evaluate the roof structure, measure accurately, and select materials suited to your property’s needs.
Step 2: Tear-Off and Surface Preparation
Old roofing materials are removed down to the decking. We inspect and repair any structural damage.
Step 3: Underlayment and Ice & Water Shield Installation
We install water-resistant underlayment and flashing in valleys and other vulnerable areas for protection.
Step 4: Starter Strip and Shingle Installation
Starter shingles are applied along edges, followed by layered rows of new asphalt shingles with proper nailing techniques.
Step 5: Ventilation and Ridge Cap Installation
We ensure proper attic ventilation and install ridge caps for durability and a finished appearance.
Step 6: Final Cleanup and Disposal
All debris is removed, magnetic sweepers collect nails, and we dispose of old materials responsibly.
Step 7: Quality Inspection and Client Walkthrough
A final inspection ensures full code compliance and craftsmanship. We review the project with you for approval.
