When people think about their asphalt shingle roof, some tend to think that it only consists of shingles and the deck that supports it underneath. This is far from the case, however, as asphalt shingle residential roofing systems are made up of a lot of complex components – not just the shingles and deck.
-
Asphalt shingles – While they aren‘t the only key parts of your roofing system, they are still among the most vital components as they create the main water-shedding surface that keeps your home safe from leaks. At the same time, they help create a unique look that sets your home apart from everyone else’s.
-
Underlayment – Positioned beneath your shingles, the underlayment offers an added layer of protection between your roof deck and the shingles. When getting a residential roof replacement, this will be installed by your roofer to protect your system from wood rot.
-
Ice and water barriers – They protect the most vulnerable parts of your roof, such as the valleys, chimneys and skylights, from water infiltration.
-
Starter strip products – These products help prevent blown-off shingles by providing the first row of sealant, letting your shingles adhere better to the roof.
-
Hip and ridge products – They are typically attached to your roof, complementing the asphalt shingles you’ve selected and providing a finishing aesthetic for your whole system.
-
Ventilation – Some homeowners make the mistake of disregarding ventilation. The truth is, however, it should never be downplayed because it allows heat and moisture to escape from your attic, preventing issues like ice dams and premature shingle deterioration.
