🏠 What’s Really Under Your Shingles? 🛠️
Most people only think about the top layer — the shingles — but a solid roof is built from the inside out. Here’s what’s under the surface, protecting your home 24/7:
🔹 Roof Decking – The base layer, usually plywood or OSB. It supports the entire roofing system.
🔹 Underlayment – A moisture barrier that sits between the decking and the shingles. It’s your first line of defense against leaks.
🔹 Ice & Water Shield – Extra protection in valleys and along edges where water is more likely to pool or seep in.
🔹 Flashing – Metal pieces installed around chimneys, vents, and valleys to direct water away from vulnerable areas.
🔹 Ventilation – Not under your shingles, but equally important — proper airflow keeps moisture and heat buildup in check.
🔹 Starter Strip & Ridge Cap Shingles – These specialized shingles seal the edges and peaks for extra durability.
💡 It’s not just about looks — it’s about layers of protection working together.
