Inspection & Estimate
We inspect your roof deck, pitch, and ventilation, then provide a free, itemized estimate for your architectural shingle replacement.
Tear-Off & Deck Prep
We remove the old roofing down to the wood deck, inspect every sheet, and replace any rotted plywood before installation begins.
Underlayment & Flashing
We install ice-and-water shield in valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment across the field, and new metal flashing at penetrations.
Shingle Installation
Architectural shingles are nailed with proper pattern and spacing, with sealant strips activated for wind resistance.
Cleanup & Walkthrough
We run magnetic nail sweeps, clear gutters of debris, and walk the job with you to confirm everything meets our standard.
Installation Details That Matter
Quality installation makes the difference. We focus on the details that protect your home and your warranty.
Proper Nailing Pattern
Correct nail placement and depth prevents blow-offs in high wind.
Sealed Valleys & Eaves
Ice-and-water shield protects the most leak-prone areas first.
Drip Edge & Flashing
Metal drip edge and step flashing direct water away from the deck.
Attic Ventilation Check
Balanced intake and exhaust ventilation extends shingle life.
Starter Shingle Course
A sealed starter strip locks the first row down against wind uplift.
