Some roofing contractors will try to tell you that a roof is simply about nailing shingles to plywood. This is simply not true. Shingles are a part of roofing systems. Many people equate a new roof with new shingles, but there is much more to it if you want to have the right protection for your home. We install roofing systems, with all the parts designed and installed to work together.
We believe a great roof starts with using the best quality roofing materials. That’s why we use GAF, they simply manufacture the highest-quality roofing materials and are the most top-rated roofing manufacturer in the USA.  GAF has a well-earned reputation for being consistently more innovative than other roof manufacturers.
Roofing needs to be a complete system that incorporates 6 major parts that are vital to the longevity and the functionality of the roof.
- Ridge and Soffit vents that allow your home to breath. It has to protect your home from the elements while letting air flow through to properly ventilate the space.
- Leak Barrier Protection creates a seal that helps keep water out at the most vulnerable areas of your roof. Coastal does 6’ of protection compared to others at 3’.
- Synthetic Roof Deck Protection is a permeable synthetic second layer of protection for your home that prevents roof rot and 600 times stronger than felt.
- Starter Strip Shingles is important as they increase the longevity of the roofing system with prevention of shingle blow off up to 130 mph.
- Lifetime Shingles is made to protect your home with the best combination of weight and performance that modern technology can deliver. No wonder why its America’s #1 shingle!
- Lifetime Ridge Cap Shingles is last and must be done correctly to prevent leaking.
At the end of your roofing job, GAF (the manufacturer) sends a factory representative to do a 40-point inspection to ensure that we have installed the entire roofing system properly. To best understand full roofing systems as well as their individual components, please visit this page.
