Our crew finished a 19.67-square roof, right around the size of a typical single-story ranch on East 9th Street in Alton, IL on Wednesday, July 15. Alton is a Madison County river city on the bluffs above the Mississippi, with a deep stock of older homes. It was one of 11 roof replacements our crews completed in Alton in July 2026. The system: synthetic underlayment across the full deck, ice and water membrane in the valleys and at the eaves, and IKO Dynasty in Appalachian Sky on top.

The color on this roof
The work order lists the color as Appalachian Sky. That name isn’t in our IKO Dynasty color gallery, so we’re not showing a swatch that might be the wrong one. The image above is the shingle line itself. Your project manager can bring a full-size sample of any color out to your house. You can also browse every IKO Dynasty color here.
What went on this roof
With IKO Dynasty, the detail that matters most is the ArmourZone nailing strip: a wider, reinforced band where the nails go, so fasteners land where they hold best. People shop for the shingle, but what’s underneath it and how the edges are finished decide how long the roof lasts. On this job:
- A full layer of synthetic underlayment. It’s the backup water barrier under the shingles, and it holds up to foot traffic and wind far better than paper felt.
- Ice and water shield in the valleys and along the eaves. Those are the two places a Midwest roof takes on water first, from ice dams in January and heavy runoff in spring storms.
- IKO Starter strip along every edge. The first course is where wind gets under a roof. A factory starter with its own sealant line locks it down.
- IKO Hip & Ridge on the hips and peak. Matching cap shingles made for the job, not field shingles cut into pieces.
- Lomanco Omni Roll ridge vent. Continuous exhaust at the peak. Together with the soffit intake, it moves heat and moisture out of the attic.
