In this video, Drew Pickard, Sales Estimator at Mattsson Roofing in Glen Rock, NJ walks us through the essential underlayment materials used in a roofing project to ensure protection and durability:
1️⃣ Ice and Water Shield: This water-resistant material is applied around the edges and vulnerable parts of your home like valleys and chimneys. It ensures water rolls off effortlessly.
2️⃣ Summit 60 Synthetic Underlayment: Next, this water-resistant layer is added, allowing the decking to breathe while providing excellent protection.
3️⃣ Drip Edge: A metal piece is installed around the rake of the roof to prevent wind-driven rain from seeping under the decking and causing rot.
4️⃣ Starter Strip: This black tar-lined strip helps the shingles adhere securely to the roof edges, preventing wind uplift and water infiltration.
5️⃣ Shingles: Finally, the actual shingles are installed, covering the entire roof slope and completing the roofing system.
