Drip Edge

A drip edge is placed along the eaves and rake edges beneath the underlayment. It funnels water from between the shingles and the underlay to your gutter. Without a drip edge, there is a risk that any drainage will flow behind the gutter and cause damage to your home.

Drip edge is available in:

Black
Brown
White

Skylight

Curb mount model is designed to be used on a site-built curb. Curb mounted skylights consist of an insulated glass sealed between a thermally efficient, maintenance-free, vinyl curb frame and an aluminum outer retainer frame.

Underlayment

Underlay is a material that rests between your roof deck and the shingles. It provides an additional layer of weather- and water-proofing. Roofing felt is the traditional underlay and is made from a combination of asphalt and felt. Synthetic underlay is becoming a more popular choice because it doesn’t absorb water at all, providing better protection for your home.

Underlayment comes in:

15lb Felt (standard)
30lb Felt (better)
Synthetic (premium)

Ice & Water Shield

Ice and water shield is a specialied form of underlayment designed to stand up better in places where ice and water gather on roofs. We typically install it in valleys, around chimneys and along eaves (in Northern climates only).

Starter Shingle

Starter shingle is a row of shingle that is laid along an eave or rake line on a roof. This reduces the need to cut shingles to fit angles. It also reduces waste and installation time.

Ventialtion

Ventilation

Roof ventilation is essential to protecting your home – it allows circulation of air so that hot air can escape in the summer, and more importantly, stops heated air from condensing and causing moisture damage or mold build-up during colder winter months. Ridge vents are the recommended choice 80% of the time due to the continuous ventilation provided along the roof. Other options like turtle vents are also available, but used mainly in specialized areas where long runs of ridge vents aren’t available.

Air Vent Power Attic Ventilator

Power Attic Ventilator Roof-Mount Metal with Thermostat use a thermostat to fight heat and a humidistat control to help prevent moisture buildup inside the attic. Featuring a low-profile dome, the power attic vent is unobtrusive when installed on the roof face slanting away from the front of your home. It’s an efficient option to replace wind turbines or roof pots already in place.

Roof-mount power attic ventilators are available in several CFM capacities and dome colors that blend with the color of your roof shingles.

Round Plastic Static Dome Vent

Airhawk Round Plastic Static Dome Vent covered openings allow air to escape the attic. Several of these vents are usually required to properly ventilate the attic. They should be placed evenly across the roof.
