In this video, you will learn the basics of a residential roofing system. Your roof is one of the most important parts of your home and needs to be maintained properly. To ensure your roof is in the best condition, consult with a local roofer.
A high- performing room system starts with a leak barrier to protect the vulnerable areas of your roof that are known for leaks. Next is the roof deck protection that helps prevent wind driven rain from getting into your home.
Then there is a metal drip edge, a component that helps keep rain away from edges. Next is the roof’s starter strip that tightly locks the first row of shingles in place. At the top of your roof, a local roofer may suggest installing a ridge vent. This allows hot and moist air to escape from the attic. The final component is a ridge cap shingle. These provide strong performance as well as a finished look to your roof.
You want to make sure that your roofer or contractor installs all parts of this roofing system and does not skip any areas. You want a roof that will last many years to come.
