Roofing Products
Roofing Products include those products required to provide a quality roofing system.  Products include roofing shingles, underlayments, and accessory products.

Roofing Shingles
High-quality asphalt roofing shingles in a wide variety of styles and colors are used as the last step in roofing. Asphalt roofing shingles are the most commonly used products for residential roofs.

Underlayments
Underlayments are designed for use on your roof decks as a water-resistant layer beneath roofing shingles. 

Accessory Products

Hip and Ridge
Accessory shingles are used to finish the hips and ridges of the roof and carry the same warranty as the shingles they are applied over. 

Proper Attic Ventilation
Proper attic ventilation systems allow a continuous flow of outside air through the attic which creates cooler attics in the summer and drier attics in the winter. It consists of a balanced system between air intake (at your eaves or soffits) and air exhaust (at or near your roof ridge).     

Starter Shingles
Starter shingles save application time. They are designed to work specifically with different styles of shingles for consistent appearance and performance.
