What materials are used when replacing your roof?
Below is a full breakdown from top to bottom for when it comes to replacing your roof.
Decking
This is the foundation of your roof. Decking is the plywood that supports your entire roofing system. It is very important that during your roof replacement all decking is inspected for damaged areas and replaced as needed.
Underlayment
The underlayment is a very important part of your roofing system, it acts as a water resistant protectant over your ply wood to make sure no water gets into your home (It is very imports that synthetic underlayment is used)
Drip Edge
Drip edge is a metal lip that goes around the perimeter of your home. This protects water from protruding under your shingles and damaging your fascia (This became a part of Texas code in 2012)
Starter Shingles
These are a heavier shingle that are installed around the perimeter of your roofing system. (They are heavier and are your first line of defense when it comes to your shingle system)
Shingles
There are many shingle options on the market varying from 20 year shingles all the way up to 40 year shingles.
Ridge Cap
These are the shingles that are made to go specifically over your hip and ridge areas of your roofing system
Ventilation
There are multiple ways you can ventilate your roofing system. These include Ridge vent (these are the most popular) Turbine Vent (These are rarely used). Hood vent (These are most common)
