BEYOND THE SHINGLE
A connected system, not a single product.
Open each component to see what it does and what to ask about in your proposal.
Deck
Provides the substrate; its condition needs assessment.
Ask: Ask how damaged deck sections are documented and approved.
Underlayment & leak barriers
Add specified layers beneath the visible roof surface.
Ask: Confirm which products and locations the proposal includes.
Flashing & edge details
Address transitions, penetrations and water movement.
Ask: Review valleys, walls, chimneys, drip edges and pipe details.
Starter, shingles & ridge
Work together as the visible roof covering.
Ask: Confirm the selected system’s accessory and installation requirements.
Ventilation
Needs consideration as part of the roof and attic configuration.
Ask: Ask who evaluates intake, exhaust and existing conditions.
