System Components

Field shingles

Starter

Hip & ridge

Underlayment

Leak barrier

Ventilation

Flashings

Flash vent details

System organization

Accessory components

Underlayment, leak barriers, starter, hip and ridge systems, and venting are selected to match slope, deck shape, and attic conditions.

System performance

Color selection, battens, and flashings are coordinated to avoid future water migration and visible transitions.

Accessory products

Synthetic Underlayment

Underlayment accessory

Synthetic underlayment with broad tensile performance for field transitions, seam protection, and rough-weather protection before shingle placement. Use where wind uplift and deck movement demand stable coverage with controlled edge detailing and ventilation support.

  • Roof replacement
  • Steep slope decks
  • Residential roofs
  • High tear resistance
  • Cold-weather flexibility
  • Deck coverage continuity
  • Roof geometry compatible
  • Moisture-safe detailing

Leak Barrier Film

Moisture control

Self-adhered leak-stop membrane for eave and penetration edges where concentrated wind-driven flow can push water into transitions. We integrate it at critical edges to limit infiltration risk and support long-term flashing life.

  • High-wind locations
  • Complex roof lines
  • Edge transitions
  • Edge-focused protection
  • Weather-sensitive seams
  • Penetration readiness
  • Enhanced drainage defense
  • Compatible with shingle systems

Starter Course

Edge starter

Starter course with reinforced first course control for clean eave alignment and uniform wind exposure at the first row. It helps keep the first layer sealed and supports long-term line stability in strong-weather regions.

  • Steep slope
  • Residential replacements
  • Cost-conscious projects
  • Eave alignment
  • Weather-resistant lip
  • Shingle first-row clarity
  • Roofing fastener alignment

Hip & Ridge System

Crown finish component

Hip and ridge components are coordinated with flashing and ventilation cuts so crest lines are visually clean and structurally stable. Properly matched profiles reduce future opening movement and edge curling over years.

  • Architectural layouts
  • Roof crowns
  • Long slopes
  • Matched material texture
  • Vent and vent-free options
  • Clean edge transition
  • Crest line continuity
  • Maintenance visibility

Ridge Vent

Ventilation accessory

Ridge vent modules for controlled exhaust and balanced moisture flow across long roof planes. We balance intake and exhaust around eaves and valleys to reduce temperature cycling and tile-level condensation concerns.

  • Architectural assemblies
  • High thermal exposure
  • Attic ventilation planning
  • Balanced airflow
  • Condensation management
  • Long-slope compatibility
  • Simple replacement access

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?

Architectural shingles are laminated with a deeper profile and richer shadow lines for a stronger finish. 3-tab shingles are flatter and often best for projects with a tighter budget and simple geometry.

Do I need full shingle components or only shingles?

A complete system generally performs better over time: proper underlayment, starter, ridge elements, flashing, and ventilation reduce early defects, leaks, and patching needs.

Are all asphalt systems Class A rated?

No. Fire class depends on the full manufacturer assembly. We verify available certifications against local requirements and your project exposure before final material recommendations.
