If you need a new shingle roof in Oakwood, here's what matters: fiberglass mat construction with ceramic granulated coating for UV protection and fire rating. Architectural shingles carry a Class A fire rating and wind resistance ratings up to 130 mph. Oakwood Roofing & Maintenance helps you pick the right shingle for your home and budget.
Architectural shingles are heavier and more wind-resistant than three-tab because of their laminated, multi-layer construction. The fiberglass mat provides the structural base, asphalt makes it waterproof, and the granulated ceramic surface protects against UV radiation and provides fire resistance. We install them over synthetic underlayment with ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Shingle Selection
Free on-site inspection. We measure, assess your roof deck condition, and walk you through architectural vs. three-tab shingles with realistic pricing. No pressure, just facts.
Tear-Off & Deck Prep
Full tear-off to the deck. Old shingles, deteriorated felt, and corroded flashing removed and hauled to the dumpster. Deck inspection catches hidden damage — rotted sheathing, water-stained OSB, nail pops — before it's buried under new shingles.
Waterproofing Layer
The waterproofing layer is what protects your home if a shingle ever fails. We install ice-and-water shield at every vulnerable point — valleys, eaves, penetrations — then roll synthetic underlayment over the entire deck. Drip edge directs water into gutters, not behind fascia boards.
Shingle Courses
Asphalt shingles laid from eave to ridge with precise offset between courses. Every shingle fastened in the manufacturer's nailing zone — too high or too low voids the warranty. Ridge cap and hip shingles complete the system with ridge vents for balanced attic ventilation.
