Roofing Components

1. Flashings
   Protect areas vulnerable to leaks: skylights, vents, chimneys, etc.


2. Roofing Cement
   Ideal to hand tab shingles and also to waterproof effectively around those areas vulnerable to leaks.


3. Ventilation
   The building code requires all roof structures be provided with proper ventilation.


4. Valley Treatment
   Stops damage due to snow and ice build-up.


5. Edge Treatment
   For efficient water shedding at the roof's edge.


6. Eaves Protector
   Waterproofing membrane provides necessary protection against winter freeze/thaw cycles.


7. Underlayment
   Sheds water that may be driven under the shingles by high winds.

Shingles

Shingles determine the ultimate longevity of the roof.
