Shingle RoofingResidential & Commercial
In Florida, shingle roofing is one of the most common roofing materials around. There are a few reasons for this, one being how long shingles last. They are resistance to harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rain and wind. Shingles also provide good insulation, which can help reduce energy costs by keeping a home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Shingles are a popular choice for roofing materials due to their durability, affordability, and versatility. They are available in a wide range of materials, styles, and colors, making them suitable for varieties of architectural designs and personal preferences. Depending on the material the shingle is made from, this roofing type can last upwards of 10 years.
We install shingles by first preparing the roof surface, which involves removing the old roofing materials, repairing damaged areas by replacing rotten wood, and applying an underlayment. The underlayment provides an extra layer of protection against moisture and helps ensure the shingles adhere.
Next, we will lay out the shingles in a predetermined pattern, starting at the bottom of the roof and working our way up. We use roofing nails to secure the shingles to the roof deck, typically placing them at the top of the shingles to hide them from view.
We also install flashing, a thin sheet of meet, or other material that prevents water from seeping into vulnerable areas, as around chimneys or vents. Finally, we will cap the roof’s ridge with ridge shingles, which provide a finished look and further protect against moisture infiltration.
In conclusion, shingle roofing is a great option for homeowners who want a durable, affordable, and stylish roof.

What is a ROOFING SYSTEM?
Simply put, a roof is not actually a simple structure at all. While the shingles help to divert water, they would not be entirely watertight on their own without layers underneath that prevent water from seeping through. The difference between a well-maintained home and one that will require ongoing repairs is a good Roofing System.
The parts that make up a solid Roofing System for your home are Flashing, Drainage, Roof Structure, Sheathing and Roof Covering.
