Roofing · 06

The default for most Middle Tennessee homes — done properly.

30-year architectural shingle over a full system: ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, starter course, ridge vent and counter flashing at every penetration.

Why architectural

Architectural shingle, not three-tab.

Architectural shingles are heavier, thicker and layered, which is why they carry a 30-year rating and hold up to Middle Tennessee wind and hail far better than a flat three-tab.

01
The shingle
30-year architectural shingle. We’re a GAF Certified installer, which is what makes the 25+ year manufacturer warranty available on your roof.

02
What goes under it
Ice and water shield at valleys and eaves, synthetic underlayment across the field, starter course at the edges. Skipping any of it voids the warranty and the roof.

03
Ventilation
Ridge vent so the attic breathes. A hot, unventilated attic cooks shingles from underneath and takes years off the roof.
Ridge vent · Soffit intake · Attic airflow
04
Flashing
Counter flashing at chimneys, walls and every penetration, sealed and reinforced. This is where almost every leak we repair started.

Nailed to the line, not to the eye.

Shingle warranties depend on fastener placement and exposure. Nail high or low, over-drive them, or run the exposure wide and the manufacturer coverage stops applying.

It also just lasts longer. Most of the failed roofs we tear off didn’t fail because of the shingle.
