Shingle Roofs

Shingle Roofing

Shingle roofing is a versatile option for both residential and commercial properties, offering a classic look that complements various architectural styles. Known for its affordability and durability, shingle roofs provide reliable protection against the elements, making them a popular and practical choice for homeowners.

Remove Old Roofing

For shingle roof installation, the old shingles are carefully removed, along with any underlayment or felt paper beneath them. This exposes the roof deck, ensuring there are no hidden issues like rot or water damage.

Starting fresh ensures your new shingle roof is built on a clean, solid surface.

Inspect and Repair

Once the old shingles are stripped away, the roof deck is inspected specifically for issues like warped wood or exposed nails that could affect the installation of new shingles.

Any damaged areas are repaired, as a smooth, intact surface is crucial for proper shingle adhesion and alignment.

Install Underlayment

A roofing underlayment, often a felt or synthetic material, is applied directly to the roof deck. This is an essential step for shingle roofs, as it provides a secondary barrier against water infiltration, especially under the seams of the overlapping shingles.

This layer helps prevent leaks, adding another layer of protection beneath the shingles.

Place Shingles

Shingle installation begins at the roof’s edge, typically at the eaves, with each row of shingles overlapping the one below it. This staggered pattern ensures proper water drainage and prevents moisture buildup.

Care is taken to ensure that shingles are aligned and secured using nails or adhesives designed specifically for asphalt or other shingle materials.

Finishing Touches

Ridge cap shingles are installed at the roof’s peak to ensure the roof is fully sealed, and any gaps or seams are sealed with caulk or flashing to prevent leaks. A final inspection is performed to check for any loose shingles or exposed nails.

These finishing steps are particularly important for ensuring your shingle roof is wind- and weather-resistant.

Cost-Effective – Shingle roofs offer a budget-friendly option without compromising on quality. They are more affordable compared to other roofing materials, making them a great choice for homeowners looking to balance cost and longevity.
Durability and Weather Resistance – Shingles are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including wind, rain, and snow. With proper installation and maintenance, shingle roofs can last 20–30 years, providing excellent protection for your home.
Variety of Styles and Colors – Shingles come in a wide array of designs, colors, and textures, allowing you to choose a look that complements your home’s architectural style. Whether you want a classic or modern appearance, there’s a shingle option that suits your needs.
Ease of Installation and Repair – Shingle roofing is easier to install and repair than many other materials, meaning quicker turnaround times for your roofing project and lower maintenance costs in the long run. Individual shingles can also be replaced as needed, extending the life of your roof.
Low Maintenance – Shingle roofs require minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Regular inspections and simple repairs, such as replacing a missing shingle, are usually all that’s needed to keep your roof in top shape. This makes shingle roofing a hassle-free option for busy homeowners.
Energy Efficiency – Certain types of shingles, such as asphalt shingles with reflective coatings, can help reduce energy costs by reflecting sunlight and keeping your home cooler. This added benefit improves your home’s energy efficiency, lowering your utility bills.

Our Work

Just had my roof replaced by FXD Roofing and these guys were great! I can say they were friendly and super helpful from the start of the project until they were complete. The estimate they gave was fair and they explained everything clearly to me. The team showed up on time and worked hard. The mess of replacing our roof was also completely cleaned up.
