Asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing material in NY for good reason. Architectural shingles — also called dimensional or laminated shingles — provide a thicker, textured profile that mimics wood shake or slate. Fort Ann Roofing & Maintenance installs asphalt shingle roofing throughout Fort Ann, from three-tab to premium designer shingles.
Every shingle roof starts with the layers beneath the shingles. Synthetic underlayment rolls across the entire roof deck as the primary waterproof barrier. Ice-and-water shield goes down in the valleys, along the eaves, and around every penetration — chimney flashing, pipe boots, vent boots. Drip edge along every eave and rake directs water into the gutters instead of behind the fascia.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Shingle Selection
Our estimator examines your current roofline, checks the condition of the underlayment and flashing, and presents shingle options with honest pricing. GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed — you pick.
Old Roof Removal
We strip the old shingles, underlayment, and damaged flashing down to the roof deck. Every square foot of OSB or plywood sheathing inspected for rot, water damage, and soft spots. Compromised decking replaced before new materials go down.
Ice Shield & Drip Edge
Synthetic underlayment across the full roof deck. Ice-and-water shield in valleys, along eaves, and around chimney flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots. New drip edge installed at every eave and rake. Step flashing and counter-flashing at all wall transitions.
Nailing & Overlap
Field shingles installed with proper exposure and overlap. Nailed per manufacturer specs — 4 nails standard, 6 in high-wind zones. Starter strips at the eave prevent wind uplift. Ridge cap shingles finish every peak with integrated ridge vent for ventilation.
