The advances of Laminated Asphalt Shingles have increased colour and life, with various shingles offering Limited Lifetime Warranties, where Lifetime is a term for 50 + years. Asphalt Shingles have advanced in technology and thus have increased in value. Now a reasonable priced roofing system will last a Lifetime.
The Existing Asphalt Shingles
This particular home has a 10 / 12 pitch, meaning the slope is at 37.5 Degrees. The existing roofing system did not have underlayment on the roof deck underneath the shingles and was not adequately vented. The existing Asphalt Shingles failed after 17 years due to ice damning caused by improper ventilation and the absence of an underlayment to protect the shingles from the ions that can be released from the glues to hold plywood together. Without proper ventilation any heat that gets into the attic has no route to escape, causing snow to melt and become water. This water then becomes ice in colder temperatures, ice damning causes water to back up the roof creating leaks, as well as water can get underneath the shingles promoting deterioration in the shingles.
The New Asphalt Shingles
The new Roofing System, has an Ice and Water Shield membrane applied to 44" along the eaves and valleys of the roof deck. A Metal Drip Edge is then applied to the roof deck along the eaves of the roof to protect the edge of the roof deck from any water damage. The remaining exposed roof deck is then entirely covered with synthetic underlayment to protect the shingles from the ions that can released from the adhesives in the wood that are harmful to the Asphalt Shingles.
Adequate Ventilation
With new ventilation holes cut in the roof deck, and ridge ventilation cut in where the interior is vaulted ceiling, the roof is now Certified by BP and has an extended 50 year warranty.
