• Prevent wind-driven rain or water from infiltrating under your shingles.
• Provide extra protection between your shingles and your roof deck.
• Lay flatter and not buckle when installed.
• Help reduce blow off by allowing your shingles to align more uniformly.

2. A Quality Leak Barrier will Help:

• Create a water tight seal that keeps water out at the most vulnerable areas of your roof; the eaves, rakes, valleys and around chimneys.
• Protect your home by preventing costly repairs due to wall or ceiling
  staining from leaks.
• Prevent leaks due to water backing up under the shingles due to blocked gutters and wind driven rain.

3. High Performance GAFMC Premium Shingles with:

• U.V. Blocker Protection.
• Color Lock Granules -Micro Weave Core®.
• Custom specified ultra high performance provides better layer for layer protection.
• Dura-Grip® Adhesive seals each shingle tightly & reduces risk of shingle blow off up to 110 mph.
• Class A fire rating from Underwriters Laboratory. One of the highest ratings possible.
• Algae Eater (standard with specification of Grand Canyon or better) protects the beauty of the shingles by resisting unsightly blue-green algae.

4. Proper Attic Ventilation
Balances air intake at your eaves or soffits and air exhaust at or near your roof ridge.

FHA recommends a minimum of at least 1 sq. ft. of attic ventilation (both intake & exhaust) for every 300 sq. ft. of attic space. Despite this recommendation 9 out of 10 homes in America do not have proper attic ventilation which can result in:

• Premature aging (fried shingles).
• Warping, cracking or breaking down of wood framing.
• Damage to siding and paint
• Higher energy costs

5. Distinctive Ridge Cap Shingles

• This perfect finishing touch accents the natural beauty of your newly installed architectural shingle roof.
• Insures multi layer protection at the highest stress areas of your roof - the hips & ridges. A striking & higher quality alternative to using cut-up strip shingles as your ridge cap.
