Ensuring your home's roof is safe, secure, and beautiful.
Roofing Materials.
A new roof is more than just a repair; it's an investment in your home's value, your family's safety, and your peace of mind. We understand that this is a significant decision, and we're committed to providing you with the best possible value. We honor that investment by using high-quality, premium materials on every installation.
This means you'll benefit from enhanced durability, energy efficiency, and long-lasting protection without breaking the bank. Our goal is to provide you with a roof that exceeds your expectations and gives you the confidence to enjoy your home for years to come.
The materials.
01
Ice & Water Barrier.
Extra protection where your roof needs it most. Ice & water barrier is a self-adhering, waterproof membrane installed beneath your shingles to provide an added layer of protection in the most vulnerable areas of your roof—including valleys, eaves, and around chimneys or skylights. It helps prevent water from seeping into your home due to ice dams, wind-driven rain, or standing water. For your peace of mind, we install this as a standard, whether it is currently on your roof or not.
02
Synthetic Underlayment.
Roofing underlayment serves as an essential protective barrier between your roof deck and your shingles. Compared to felt underlayment — the most basic underlayment available that deteriorates over time — synthetic underlayment provides superior water resistance, is highly resistant to tears, and won’t break down if it is exposed to moisture. We install synthetic underlayment as a standard in every roof replacement at no additional cost to you.
03
Shingles.
The shingles you choose matter. The standard shingles are 30-year, but you can elect to upgrade to Class 4 shingles. Class 4 shingles are specifically engineered to withstand severe hail damage (up to 2" in diameter). They are flexible and resilient, allowing them to absorb impact energy without breaking.

Roofing Materials FAQs.
Is a class 4 shingle worth the extra expense?
Definitely! Most insurance companies will give you a discount on your homeowners insurance if you have a class 4 shingle so it will eventually pay for itself. Once you have a class 4 shingle on your roof, your insurance company will always pay to install a new class 4 shingle again in the future to replace what’s existing.
How is synthetic underlayment better than 15lb felt?
Synthetic underlayment provides superior water resistance, is highly resistant to tears, and won’t deteriorate if it is exposed to moisture.
What does the ice and water barrier do?
Ice dams can form at the roof edge due to temperature differences between the heated interior of the house and the colder exterior. These dams will allow for water to pool on your roof. The ice and water barrier helps to reduce these temperature gradients making it less likely for ice to form and it is also a waterproof barrier under the shingles.
