Understand the details in your roofing estimate.
- Architectural shingles
Layered asphalt shingles with a dimensional appearance. Compare their style, specifications and warranty with other shingle options.
- Flashing
Materials used to help keep water out at roof intersections, walls, chimneys and other penetrations.
- Drip edge
Edge flashing along the eaves and rakes that helps direct water away from vulnerable roof edges.
- Cricket
A small roof structure that diverts water around a chimney or another obstruction.
- Eave & fascia
The eave is the lower roof edge extending beyond the wall; fascia is the vertical trim along the roof perimeter.
- Underlayment
The protective layer between the roof deck and shingles. Asphalt-saturated felt is one type; other products may be specified for your installation.
Insurance and warranty questions
Storm damage documentation can support a conversation with your insurer, but coverage decisions belong to the insurer and depend on your policy. Ask our team about product-specific warranty terms before choosing materials; certification alone does not guarantee a particular warranty.
