OUR PROCESS
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Our process is built around quality, precision, and transparency. We believe in taking the time to do the job right so that your investment pays off over the decades.
Inspection and Consultation
We begin with a detailed roof evaluation to assess condition, slope, ventilation, and potential problem areas.
Material Selection
We help you choose from durable, cold-climate asphalt shingles available in a variety of textures and styles.
Preparation
Old materials are carefully removed. Decking is inspected and repaired where necessary to create a strong foundation.
Protection Layers
We install ice-and-water shield along eaves, valleys, and penetrations, followed by a synthetic underlayment for added waterproofing.
Installation
Shingles are installed with precise nailing patterns and alignment to resist wind uplift and moisture intrusion.
Finishing Touches
Flashing, ridge caps, and ventilation components are added to ensure complete performance and airflow balance.
Cleanup and Inspection
We conduct a final walk-through and magnetic sweep to leave your property spotless and your roof ready for Alaska weather.
Why Shingle Roofs Are Ideal for Alaska Homes
A properly installed shingle roof offers a balance of strength, flexibility, and insulation ideal for cold regions. Architectural asphalt shingles, in particular, provide thicker layers, improved wind resistance, and longer life expectancy than traditional three-tab shingles.
In Anchorage, a roof must do more than keep out rain — it must manage snow loads, prevent ice dam formation, and withstand powerful gusts that sweep through the Cook Inlet area. Shingle roofs built with high-grade materials and proper ventilation help prevent these common problems, giving homeowners peace of mind even during long winters.
Advantages of shingle roofing for Alaska properties:
- High resistance to cold and freeze-thaw cycles
- Variety of colors and profiles for enhanced curb appeal
- Cost-effective materials with reliable manufacturer warranties
- Simple maintenance and repair compared to other roofing types
- Excellent compatibility with modern ventilation systems
- Proven longevity when installed by local experts
Shingle Roof Replacement and Repair
If your current roof is nearing the end of its life or showing signs of wear such as curling, cracking, or granule loss, our shingle roof replacement service restores complete protection and curb appeal. We replace damaged materials with premium, weather-rated shingles that match your home’s architecture.
For localized damage, we also provide roof repair services to address issues like:
- Missing or broken shingles
- Ice dam or wind damage
- Leaks around vents, chimneys, or flashing
- Moss or algae buildup
Prompt repair prevents small issues from developing into larger, costlier problems. Our skilled technicians locate the root cause and correct it using durable materials and tested techniques.
Shingle Roofing Maintenance for Longevity
Proper maintenance helps maximize the lifespan of your roof. We recommend annual inspections, particularly before and after winter, to detect minor issues early. Regular cleaning of gutters, valleys, and downspouts also prevents water backup and ice dam formation.
Our maintenance services include:
- Seasonal roof inspections
- Flashing and vent sealing
- Debris removal and gutter clearing
- Targeted repair of minor defects
By maintaining your shingle roof, you ensure long-term protection and avoid expensive repairs down the road.
Residential and Commercial Shingle Systems
While asphalt shingles are most common on homes, they’re also an excellent option for select commercial properties such as small offices, multi-family units, and retail buildings with sloped roofs. Our team installs both standard and architectural shingle systems designed to meet aesthetic, insulation, and energy standards for any property type.
Residential Shingle Roofing
We help homeowners choose shingles that balance performance and appearance. Architectural and dimensional shingles add texture and value, while energy-efficient underlayments improve insulation and indoor comfort.
Commercial Shingle Roofing
For small commercial structures, we offer durable shingles that resist UV damage, high winds, and moisture infiltration. Each system is installed to meet local regulations and tailored for your building’s roof pitch and design.
