Architectural Shingle Installation in O Brien, OR

Architectural Shingle Installation in O Brien, OR

Architectural shingles, also called laminated or dimensional shingles, are two layers of asphalt mat bonded together. The extra layer gives them a thicker shadow line, more weight per square, and in most product lines a higher wind rating than flat three-tab.

O Brien, OR Shingle Roof Repair helps homeowners in O Brien, OR find asphalt shingle roofing crews for architectural shingle installation on sections, additions and full slopes. Getting it right is mostly about the details people do not see:

• A proper starter strip at the eaves and rakes so the first course is sealed down
• Nails driven in the manufacturer's nailing zone, usually a narrow band where the two layers overlap
• Correct offset between courses so joints do not stack and channel water
• Matching hip and ridge cap shingles rather than cut-up field shingles

Nail placement matters more on laminated shingles than on three-tab. A nail driven above the common bond area holds only one layer, and that is how architectural shingles slide or blow off years later.
