Roof Deck
The roof deck is the structural platform where all roofing components are mounted. It is typically made of a lightweight material such as plywood and OSB that can support the weight of the asphalt shingles without buckling under pressure.
Drip Edge
The drip edge is a piece of flashing that helps prevent water from flowing along the roof's edges, and causing leaks around windows or vents.
Underlayment
The underlayment is a water-resistant layer between the roof and shingles. It protects the home and roof deck from leaks and weather damage.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a popular and cost-effective roofing material. They are known for their durability and longevity, making them a great choice for homeowners.
Ridge Vent
The ridge vent is a crucial element of roof ventilation, allowing hot air to escape from the attic. This helps prevent ice dams from forming and keeps you and your family safe.
Roof Ridge
The ridge of a roof is the highest point. It is typically located at the center of the structure and can be found by measuring the distance from each end of the building, and is normally covered with ridge cap shingles.
