Great roofs form from many distinct components coming together and supporting each other. As a roof has many weather conditions to face, it’s important that these components function properly and cohesively. Howard Roofing looks at CertainTeed’s Integrity Roof System™. We also detail what each component does and why they matter overall.
1. CertainTeed Shingles
CertainTeed’s shingle options are available from your trusted roofing contractor in St. Louis, MO. Traditional XT™ 30 Shingles represent their top of the line options. A heavy fiberglass material, it doesn’t tear easily and lasts a long time. When it comes to ease-of-installation without compromising durability, Landmark™ Shingles are your best bet. Lastly, the Landmark PRO features the granulated Max Def range of colors that offer depth and vibrancy in the looks department.
2. Hip & Ridge Accessory Shingles
Rounding out the hips and ridges of your roof, these accessory shingles come in colors that will match your shingle choice. Not only do they serve to cap off your roof’s look, they also protect the vulnerable points of your roofing from water infiltration.
3. Ridge Vent
While many roofs are designed to keep wind out, some ventilation is necessary to ensure that indoor temperatures stay optimal. The ridge vent on the Integrity Roof System fits snuggly under the top-most accessory shingles. It’s designed to function without risking any water and other undesirable things getting into your home.
4. Roofers’ Select™ or Diamond Deck™
This high-performance underlayment forms a water-resistant barrier over the roof deck. It ensures that any water that might get past the initial line of shingles won’t penetrate into your home’s interior. It fits over the vulnerable wooden roof support.
5. WinterGuard™
Supporting Roofers’ Select or Diamond Deck, WinterGuard is installed near the roof’s edge. It’s designed to protect specifically against leaks caused by wind-driven rain or even ice dams during winter.
6. Starter Shingles
The last component of the Integrity Roof System, Starter Shingles specifically stay at the roof’s edge. They provide an extra barrier of protection and support the shingles installed above it. As one of the roofers in St. Louis, MO, we know to install them carefully, as they round out the whole system.
As a CertainTeed-certified ShingleMaster™, Howard Roofing offers the Integrity Roof System. We can also provide the SureStart PLUS™ warranty with every installation. This ensures coverage for everything from the shingles themselves, to even the components and the installation. This transferable warranty even covers tear-offs, disposal, and the overall workmanship.
