Materials installed, layer by layer
GAF Royal Sovereign is a traditional three-tab shingle, a flat, uniform look that suits smaller sections, outbuildings and homes originally built with three-tab. 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:
- Synthetic underlayment, edge to edge. It doesn’t wrinkle or tear like felt, and it keeps the deck dry if a shower pops up mid-job.
- Self-sealing ice and water membrane where water concentrates. It seals around every nail driven through it, which matters in valleys and at the eaves.
- GAF 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.
- GAF 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.
