Shingles may be the first thing you see on a roof, but total roof protection begins below! Between your roof deck and shingles we lay down Owen Cornings Preferred Synthetic Underlayment. This is the layer that guarantees your total defense against the elements. If a shingle happens to get chipped away or blown off, you’ll be safe with this underneath vs old style paper underlayments.

Besides the underlayment, we add additional protection on the parts of the roof that are known to cause the most trouble. We re-enforce these spots with an Ice and Water Barrier that goes around skylights, valleys, and dormers. Sealing these areas keeps water from leaking in, similar to the caulk around a window frame.

We begin our defense with starter shingles around the edges of your home. These create a layer of interlock between your roof and the edges, which gives you extra protection against winds.

Then comes the star of the show: an Owens Corning Preferred Shingles. Both functional and fine-looking, we lay your choice of style and color, knowing you’ll be fully protected.

Finally, it is all brought together with hip and ridge cap shingles.  These standout shingles attractively shape around the edges of your home, helping protect vents and first points of contact with the weather

While your roof can look finished with these first two pieces, one critical piece for a long lasting roof is still missing. By ensuring proper roof ventilation we help prevent moisture and heat buildup in your attic by ensuring you have enough intake and exhaust vents in your roof. Thanks to the hip and ridge cap shingles or O'Hagin vents there’s no need to worry about water entering here! It’s fully protected and warrantied thanks to the Owens Corning Total Protection System!

A cool roof is a roof that reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat than a standard roof, lowering roof temperature and releasing less heat into the environment.  California has established legal requirements that come into effect when you replace your roof, because the science on this doesn't lie. We will help you choose a lighter color or more reflective shingle to help reduce the suns heat before it has a chance to penetrate your homes attic.

A cool roof decreases your need for cooling equipment during the heat of the summer by reducing the heat gain inside your home. This can equals long term energy savings as high 7% a year, simply from a reduction of your air conditioning needs. That previous 150ºF surface roof temperature could be 50ºF cooler with a cool roof. A cool roof reduces energy usage, saving you money, and will also help stabilize the temperatures in your unconditioned spaces, like the garage or the bonus room.
