01

Roof deck

Every sheet gets checked once the old roof is off. Soft, spongy or delaminated plywood is replaced before anything new goes down — you cannot fix a bad deck from on top of it.

 Replaced where needed
02

Ice & water shield

Self-adhering rubberised membrane at every eave, in every valley and around every penetration. It seals around the nails driven through it. This is what stops ice dams and wind-driven rain.

 Eaves · valleys · penetrations
03

Synthetic underlayment

Across the whole deck, not just the first few feet. Lighter, far stronger and far more tear-resistant than old felt paper, and it will not wrinkle if it catches a shower before the shingles go on.

 Full deck coverage
04

Drip edge & starter

New aluminum drip edge on eaves and rakes so water leaves the roof instead of curling back into the fascia — then factory starter strip with a sealant bead to lock the first course down.

 Eaves & rakes
05

Architectural shingles

GAF laminated shingles, nailed in the manufacturer's nail zone at the specified count. Nails high, low or overdriven are what void a warranty and lift a roof in a nor'easter.

 Nailed to spec
06

Flashing

New step flashing woven into the courses at every wall, new valley metal, new pipe boots and a proper chimney counter-flashing. Old flashing does not get re-used, and caulk is not flashing.

 All new metal
07

Ridge vent & cap

The deck is cut back at the ridge and vented, then capped with matching shingles. With intake at the soffit, that pulls heat and moisture out of the attic and stops the roof cooking itself from underneath.

 Balanced ventilation
