For homeowners in older, wood-frame houses, particularly in historic areas like Evanston and Oak Park, the installation of new plywood is often necessary during a roof replacement. This is due to the existing decking having spaces that used to be acceptable 20+ years ago, but are not anymore. Some of these homes also have existing cedar shake under a layer of shingles, which needs to be removed to allow proper installation of a new asphalt shingle roof during a shingle roof replacement. This step ensures a solid foundation for the new shingles, enhancing the overall structural integrity of your home, and guaranteeing a long lifespan for your new shingle roof. Our expert team at SMART Roofing always provides precise shingle installation, in this case carefully maneuvering around existing copper chimney flashings and siding to install proper roof-to-wall flashings. These flashings are crucial for waterproofing, preventing leaks, and protecting your home from water damage.
Shingle roofs work by creating a layered barrier against the elements. Each shingle overlaps the one below it, effectively channeling water off the roof and into the gutters. Proper installation is key to maximizing the lifespan and performance of your shingle roof. Our experienced professionals make sure that every shingle is placed correctly during a shingle roof installation, and that all flashings are installed to provide optimal waterproofing, particularly around critical areas like chimneys and roof valleys.
