How Do Asphalt Shingles Age on Washington Terrace Homes?
On Washington Terrace roofs, as asphalt shingles age, they can lose granules, become brittle, and stop sealing tightly to the row below. Granule loss, brittle edges and failed adhesive strips tell us more about a roof in Washington Terrace than shingle color does. Winter weather can also affect a roof in Washington Terrace because melting snow can refreeze near roof edges and valleys.
When Should You Install a New Asphalt Shingle Roof in Washington Terrace?
You may need a new asphalt shingle roof in Washington Terrace when wear or damage affects several parts of the roof. Before recommending replacement in Washington Terrace, we inspect the shingles, flashing, wooden roof deck and previous repair areas. Many Washington Terrace homes were built around 1970, but the house age does not tell us when the current roof was installed. For a home in Washington Terrace, we judge the current roof by the condition and age of the roofing materials that are there now.
What Is an Asphalt Shingle Made Of?
An asphalt shingle installed on a roof in Washington Terrace contains a fiberglass mat, asphalt coating, mineral granules and an adhesive seal strip. In the shingles used for Washington Terrace projects, fiberglass provides strength, asphalt resists water, granules protect the surface and the seal strip helps neighboring shingles bond.
What Asphalt Shingle Options Do You Install in Washington Terrace?
For Washington Terrace homes, we install architectural shingles and can also install three-tab shingles when you prefer a flatter, less dimensional shingle. We can compare GAF, CertainTeed and Owens Corning products for your Washington Terrace roof, including the manufacturer specifications and warranty information for the exact shingle you choose.
What Does Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Washington Terrace Include?
Asphalt shingle installation in Washington Terrace includes valleys and roof-edge drainage, inspection of the wooden roof deck, wind-resistant shingle fastening, and an attic-ventilation check.
The Washington Terrace installation also includes flashing and seals around roof openings, new or rebuilt flashing, and extra attention at exposed edges and ridges.
After we remove the old roofing in Washington Terrace, we photograph any damaged roof decking. Before replacing damaged wood on a roof in Washington Terrace, we explain the added cost.
These are some of the installation details we focus on for Washington Terrace homes:
- Wind rating matched to the house: Shingles are rated for a wind speed, and the right rating depends on how exposed your house is rather than on the city it sits in. We set it from your own site.
- Full tear-off to bare wood: Every layer comes off, including any second roof laid over the first. Tear-off is the only moment anyone gets to see the wood your roof is fastened to.
- Decking repaired before anything goes on: On a house built around 1970, finding a few soft boards is normal rather than a surprise. We photograph them, price them with you, and replace them so the new roof has something solid to fasten to.
- Architectural shingles as standard: Architectural shingles are thicker and heavier than the flat three-tab type, last longer, and hold their wind rating better. They cost a little more and are worth it here.
- Warranty registered in your name: You get the manufacturer's materials warranty registered to you on completion, alongside our own 5-year workmanship warranty, and we hand you the paperwork rather than filing it with us.
- All-new metal flashing: We replace the metal at chimneys, walls and vents rather than resealed. Sealant over old flashing buys a season and hides the problem in the meantime.
The shingle is the part you choose and the part you can see. Everything underneath it is what decides whether the roof reaches the life it is rated for, which is why we specify all of it in writing before we start.
