Shingle roofing is the backbone of residential roofing in Charlton. Whether you're choosing architectural shingles for their dimensional look or three-tab shingles for budget-friendly coverage, the installation process is what determines how long they last. Charlton Roofing & Maintenance follows manufacturer nailing specs and overlap requirements on every job.
The difference between a 15-year roof and a 30-year roof isn't the shingle — it's the installation. Proper nail placement in the manufacturer's nailing zone, correct overlap between courses, ice-and-water shield at all vulnerable areas, and flashing that's sealed at every transition. Charlton Roofing & Maintenance follows the exact specs that keep the manufacturer warranty valid.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Shingle Selection
We inspect your existing roof deck and sheathing, measure the area, and help you choose between architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles. Color samples brought to your Charlton home.
Strip & Inspect
Old roof stripped to bare deck. We inspect the plywood or OSB sheathing for structural integrity, replace any compromised boards, and prep a clean, solid substrate for the new underlayment and shingles.
Ice Shield & Drip Edge
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.
