What To Know About Shingle Installation
Material Quality Matters
Not all house shingles are created equal. To ensure your home withstands our region's heavy snows and summer storms, you need to invest in the best roof shingles available. Asphalt shingles remain the most popular choice due to their versatility and durability. However, it is vital to choose architectural or high-performance options, such as the GAF systems we install, which offer superior wind resistance and aesthetic appeal compared to standard 3-tab shingles.
Precision in Installation
The longevity of a shingle roof relies heavily on what happens underneath the visible layer. Professional shingle installation involves more than just nailing down new material. It requires a complete system, including proper attic ventilation to prevent heat buildup, a high-quality underlayment to shield against moisture, and precise flashing around chimneys and valleys. If these hidden components are neglected, even the highest quality shingles will fail prematurely.
Warranty and Protection
Always verify who is installing your roof. Factory-certified installers can offer extended warranties that others cannot. Because Frye Roofing is a GAF Master Elite® Contractor—a distinction held by a small percentage of roofers nationwide—we can provide robust warranty protection that covers both the materials and the workmanship for decades.
