Shingle roofs are the most common residential roof in Hampton Roads. Here is how they are built and what to check as your roof ages.
What a shingle roof is made of
A shingle roof is a system: decking underneath, underlayment, flashing at edges and penetrations, and the shingles you see from the street. Each layer does a job, and the weakest one sets the limit.
Asphalt shingles are the common choice for residential homes in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Suffolk, in a range of profiles and colors.
What to look at from the ground
After a storm season or a hard winter, check for shingles that are curling, cracked, missing, or sitting unevenly. Look at flashing near chimneys and vents and watch for granules collecting in gutters.
Ceiling stains and damp attic spots are interior signs that deserve an exterior look. When you see them, have the roof assessed rather than waiting.
