Replacing your roof is not just about installing a new set of shingles. The roof is a complex home component where many parts need to work together to function as expected.
Tedrick’s Roofing is proud to be a certified supplier of GAF® roofing in Federal Way, WA, and its nearby areas. Let’s discuss the seven components of the GAF lifetime roofing system:
1. Roofing Assessment
The first step in a roof replacement project is to remove the old roofing. Next, we’ll examine the deck for damage or decay and then repair or upgrade as needed. This step ensures that your roof deck will be able to support the weight of the new roof once installed.
2. Starter Strip Shingles
These strips prevent the shingles from blowing off in strong winds. We install them along the eaves of your roof that heavy winds are most likely to affect. In most cases, starter strips can qualify you for GAF’s upgraded wind warranty coverage.
3. Leak Barrier
This is a self-adhering, watertight membrane, which we install to protect the most vulnerable spots of your roof. It also protects against leaks that can result from roof settling or harsh weather.
4. Premium Asphalt Shingles
Once these components are in place, your trusted GAF certified roofing contractor in Kent will install the asphalt shingles. GAF offers a vast array of Lifetime shingle options so you can be sure of getting one that suits your home, style, and budget. These shingles come in many color choices to give your home an all new look.
5. Ridge Vent
GAF’s Cobra® Attic Ventilation prevents the untimely peeling of interior paint and wallpapers in your attic. It goes on the ridge to help remove heat and moisture from your attic. As such, it can also contribute in no small measure to your energy savings.
6. Roof Deck Protection
This crucial component shields your roof from the impact of strong winds and heavy rainfall that may blow beneath the shingles. It also promotes the escape of moisture from your attic and is almost invisible since it lies flat.
7. Ridge Cap Shingles
These components reinforce the hips and ridges of your roof and help protect against leaks. They also provide aesthetic appeal to your roofline.
With these components, Tedrick’s Roofing will install a roof that will protect your home, boost its curb appeal, and raise its resale value for years to come. We also offer roof repair in Auburn, so don’t hesitate to contact us when your roof needs a tune-up.
