Asphalt Shingles

Due to low cost and durability, about 80% of the homes in the US have asphalt shingles on their roofs. While different factors affect the longevity of a shingle roof, in our area, most roofs last between 15-20 years. Wind, hail, and extreme weather conditions are the primary reasons why asphalt shingles get replaced sooner than their life expectancy.

Not sure if you need a new roof? Let us help. When you call Roofing On Demand, we will come out to do a complete roof and attic inspection. A member of our team will point out any problematic areas and suggest solutions to get your roof up to par. As we all know it, the roof is everything.

Tear Off - Our crews will carefully prep your home for your roof tear off. We strategically place tarps to protect windows, doors, shrubs, pool and patio areas to collect all the debris and make the final clean up easier. We will sweep the area with magnets to make sure we collect as many nails as possible. We do not shingle over current shingles. Our crews will tear off your old roofing shingles and old 15lb tar underlayment. After tear off is completed, we will inspect your substrate/decking for rotted wood and replace any damaged decking boards. All debris will be hauled away to the local landfill.

Decking Repairs - After decking is fully inspected, our Project Managers will communicate with you about any hidden damages and additional unexpected repairs. We can do Rafter Repairs, partial plywood repairs or complete roof substrate replacements (Re-decks) while replacing your roof. Our crews will also reenforce your roof substrate if need be. We pay close attention to details and rest assure we will only install your new roof on a solid framing and decking system.

Ice & Water Shield - Ice and Water Shield is a waterproof self-adhesive underlayment membrane made with polymer-modified bitumen and developed to protect vulnerable areas on a roof from moisture intrusion. Typical problem areas include Valleys, Roof to Wall Transition areas, chimneys, roof vent penetrations, and low sloped areas specially around eves. This product provides additional protection from water infiltration at these critical areas of your roof system to ensure longevity in the harshest of environments.

Aluminum Drip Edge - Aluminum Drip Edge is a code requirement for roofs. Is a specially made flashing made from corrosive resistant aluminum material that provides protection from water damage at the roof eves and rakes. The drop down or face diverts water away from your fascia boards or roof substrate and into the gutters. Aluminum Drip Edge comes in different colors and different sizes such as 2”x 2” or 2” x 4” in Windstorm Areas. Rest assure that if you are in a Windstorm area, we will install the correct materials required by Windstorm Code.

Starter Strip - The first layer of a weather-tight roof system. Properly seals your roof and helps prevent rot and mold. The continuous sealant ensures an effective seal between the starter and first course of shingles. Starter shingles also provides protection against wind-lift on eves and rake areas.

Synthetic Underlayment - Until more recent years, 15Lb or 30Lb tar based felt paper was the standard. Recently, advancements in roofing technology have brought the revolutionary synthetic underlayment which consistently outperform and out test traditional felt paper. A woven synthetic underlayment material exceptionally stronger and tear-resistant, providing safer work surfaces for installers and superior systems of weather protection.

Roof Ventilation - Roof ventilation is a system of intake and exhaust vents that provide air circulation to keep the atmosphere inside your home comfortable. Proper air flow is crucial to your attic and roof areas. Without proper air flow, hot air and natural moisture will get trapped within your attic area, causing a variety of problems to your property. We will analyze your current home situation and inform you accordingly. All Ridge Vents, Turbines or Worley Birds, Box Vents, Turtle Vents, Heater Vents, and Plumbing Pipe Jacks are removed and replaced.

Asphalt Shingles - Last but not least your roof shingles are installed. All shingles are hand nailed and we use 6 nails per shingle. Most contractors only use 4. We believe that the more the better. We are able to install 30 Year Architectural Shingles from different manufacturers such as IKO, Tamko, GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed. Many colors are available in our market. Please check with your Project Managers for color and manufacturer availability.
