Synthetic Underlayment & Ice and Water Barrier
Here are the important details to be aware of when Installing a new roof
After stripping the roof a synthetic roofing underlayment coated with polypropylene on both sides is installed along with an ice and water barrier.
Ice & Water Barrier:
The ice and water barrier is for the first few feet on the roof to protect it from ice dams in the winter from leaking into the home.
We also use our ice and water shield around the chimney, on all the valleys and intersecting roofs for added protection.
Protecting our Property and keeping It Clean
It's important to plan the Roofing Installation so the property is protected and cleaned and the workers and homeowner are safe.
We start by draping the home with tarp's to protect the siding and catch as much debris as possible. This makes clean up easier and more throw.
There is a crew member that spends most of the time on nothing but cleaning the job site so at the end of the day there are no shingles or nails scattered around the home.

Proper Flashing Of Your Roof Prevents Leaking
Its important to notice areas that will need new flashing, nobody wants to purchase a new roof and have it leak.
The main areas of concern are the chimney, which will always require new step flashing and any intersecting roofs such as a dormer or porch roof.
Step flashing is installed on the roof and goes under each shingle up the roof along the chimney or intersecting roof overlapping each other.
Counter flashing is the piece of lead or copper that you see around your chimney that overlaps the step flashing.
Architectural Roofing Has A Distinctive Look
Types Of Roofing Material:
The most popular roofing today is the Architectural Shingle - composed of two piece of asphalt shingle material laminated together to form one solid piece. The bottom piece, or shim provides the base of the shingle as well as the contrast in color.
The top piece, or dragon tooth, provides the depth as well as further contrasting color. Their warranties are all lifetime.
Architectural Roofing Shingles also carry a lifetime warrantee, as an Owens Corning preferred premium contractor A1 Roofing is certified to offer the highest level warrantee in the industry.

Roof Ventilation For a More Efficient House
Proper ventilation is important especially in newer homes that have efficient windows, siding and doors which minimizes air flow through the walls causing the moisture and air that once escaped to be carried up into the attic.
Our roofing system has many ventilation options to keep your home balanced. Poor ventilation can cause energy waste, ice dams, rotting decks, premature roof decay, and mold. This is a very important part of the replacement roof design and process.
