A strong, long-lasting roof depends on more than just shingles. Each layer plays a vital role in protecting your home from weather, leaks, and structural damage.
From the roof deck to the ridge vents, our expert installations ensure that every component is properly integrated for maximum performance and durability.
A roof typically consists of several layers, each serving a specific purpose. Here’s a breakdown of the common layers
Roof Decking (Sheathing): The base layer, usually made of plywood or OSB (oriented strand board), provides the structural foundation for the roof.
Underlayment: A protective barrier placed on top of the decking, often made of felt or synthetic materials, to prevent moisture from seeping through.
Waterproofing Membrane: Found in areas prone to water exposure, such as valleys or near chimneys, this layer adds an extra level of protection against leaks.
Roof Covering (Shingles, Tiles, or Metal): The outermost layer, providing weather resistance and aesthetic appeal. Different materials are used depending on style, durability, and regional conditions.
Flashing: Metal strips installed around roof edges, chimneys, and vents to direct water away from vulnerable areas.
Ventilation Components: Vents and ridge caps allow airflow to reduce moisture and heat buildup in the attic.
Each layer contributes to the roof’s strength, durability, and ability to withstand the elements.
If your roof is aging or damaged, a full replacement may be the best solution. We provide high-quality roof replacement services designed to protect your home and improve its appearance.
A complete roof replacement includes decking, underlayment, shingles, flashing, and proper ventilation—each playing a vital role in long-term durability and weather protection.

Asphalt shingles: 20–30 years.
Metal roofs: 40–70 years.
Clay or concrete tiles: 50+ years.
Flat roofs (TPO, PVC, modified bitumen): 10–30 years, depending on maintenance.
Regular inspections and proper maintenance can extend the life of your roof.
Common signs your roof may need repairs include:
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles.
Water stains on ceilings or walls

Yes, most new roofs include:
Material warranties: Cover defects in the roofing materials, typically for 20–50 years.
Workmanship warranties: Cover installation errors, 5 years warranty.
Flat Roofing Questions
Modified Bitumen: More resistant to harsher weather conditions but less energy-efficient.
TPO: More affordable and eco-friendly, with good energy efficiency.
PVC: More durable and chemical-resistant, ideal for industrial settings.
Both are excellent choices for commercial flat roofs, depending on the building’s needs.
Key maintenance tasks include:
Regular cleaning to remove debris.
Inspecting seams, flashing, and drains for issues.
Flat roofs require bi-annual inspections and prompt repairs to prevent leaks.
Ponding water occurs when drainage systems are blocked or the roof slope is insufficient.
This can lead to structural damage and should be addressed immediately.
Flat roofs typically last:
TPO and PVC: 20–30 years with proper maintenance.
Modified bitumen: 15–20 years.
