Roofing
Roofing
The roof protects everything under it. We handle roofing as part of a complete exterior or a new build, from the decking up.
Overview
Roofing, done right
The roof is the single most important part of keeping a house dry, and a good roof is more than the shingles you see. Shelton Construction handles roofing from the decking up: checking the substrate, installing proper underlayment and flashing, and finishing with a shingle system built for the job.
We take roofing on as part of a new build or a complete exterior package, so it is coordinated with siding, trim, and gutters rather than treated as an isolated repair. That keeps the whole envelope working together.
- Full roof replacement and new-build roofing
- Decking inspection and repair
- Underlayment and ice-and-water barrier
- Flashing at valleys, walls, and penetrations
- Architectural and dimensional shingles
- Ventilation and drip-edge detailing
Why Shelton
What you get on this job
From the decking up
We check the decking and underlayment, not just the shingles, so the roof is sound where it counts.
Flashing done right
Valleys, walls, and penetrations are where roofs leak. We flash them properly so water goes where it should.
Part of the envelope
Roofing is coordinated with siding, trim, and gutters so the whole exterior sheds water as one system.
Built to last
We install architectural shingle systems with proper ventilation so the roof performs for its full life.
How the job runs
From first call to walkthrough
Step 01
Inspect the roof
We look at the existing roof, the decking condition, and the flashing, then recommend a scope.
Step 02
Spec and price
We settle on the shingle system and any repairs, and give you a clear price for the work.
Step 03
Tear off and prep
Old material comes off, we repair any bad decking, and lay down underlayment and ice-and-water barrier.
Step 04
Shingle and detail
Shingles, flashing, and drip edge go on, we set the ventilation, and clean the site down.
- Do you do roofing on its own or only with other work?
- We focus on roofing as part of a new build or a complete exterior package. That way the roof, siding, and trim are coordinated into one weather-tight envelope.
- Will you replace bad decking under the shingles?
- Yes. Once the old roofing is off, we inspect the decking and replace any that is rotted or damaged before the new underlayment and shingles go on.
- What kind of shingles do you install?
- We install architectural and dimensional shingle systems, chosen to fit the house and hold up to East Tennessee weather, with proper ventilation and flashing details.
