Attention to Detail While Installing New Shingles

Weathered Roofing

At Weathered Roofing, we take pride in every roof we install, ensuring longevity, durability, and a flawless finish. Attention to detail is key when installing new shingles. Here’s what we focus on:

1. Proper Surface Preparation

✔ Remove old shingles, nails, and debris completely.
✔ Inspect the decking for rot, warping, or damage—replace if necessary.
✔ Ensure the roof is dry before installation to prevent trapped moisture.

2. Precise Underlayment Installation

✔ Install a high-quality underlayment to act as a moisture barrier.
✔ Ensure proper overlap (minimum 4 inches) for full protection.
✔ Secure the underlayment tightly to prevent wind uplift.

3. Accurate Shingle Alignment & Placement

✔ Follow manufacturer guidelines for staggered installation.
✔ Maintain consistent spacing for a uniform appearance.
✔ Keep shingle courses straight using chalk lines as guides.

4. Nailing & Fastening with Precision

✔ Use the correct number of nails (typically 4–6 per shingle).
✔ Place nails in the designated nailing strip to prevent wind damage.
✔ Avoid overdriving or underdriving nails—flush placement is key.

5. Flashing & Sealant Application

✔ Properly install flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys.
✔ Apply roofing sealant at vulnerable points to prevent leaks.
✔ Ensure step flashing is layered correctly for maximum protection.

6. Proper Ventilation for Longevity

✔ Check and install ridge vents, soffit vents, or attic ventilation.
✔ Avoid blocking ventilation pathways to prevent heat buildup.
✔ Balance intake and exhaust ventilation for optimal airflow.

7. Final Inspection & Cleanup

✔ Double-check for any lifted or misaligned shingles.
✔ Ensure all nails are secured, and there are no loose materials.
✔ Clean up the job site thoroughly, including nails and debris removal.

At Weathered Roofing, every detail matters. A properly installed roof means better protection, energy efficiency, and peace of mind for years to come.
