The reasons are clear: shingle roofs offer an outstanding combination of durability, aesthetic versatility, and value.

At RoofMasters, we follow strict manufacturer installation specifications to ensure every new shingle roof we install meets or exceeds industry standards.

Our Shingle Roof Installation Process

A quality roof shingles installation begins long before the first shingle is laid. We start with a comprehensive roof inspection to evaluate the existing structure, identify potential issues with decking or ventilation, and determine the best approach for your specific property. This initial assessment allows us to provide you with a detailed plan that accounts for your building’s architectural style, local building codes, and the environmental conditions common in Greenville, Smithfield, North Providence, and Lincoln, RI, as well as Brooklyn, Norwich, Griswold, and Plainfield, CT and the surrounding areas. We understand that roof problems can be a burden, which is why the process of building satisfaction begins the moment you meet with us.

Once the planning phase is complete, our experienced roof installation contractors follows a meticulous step-by-step process. We begin by removing any existing roofing material down to the deck, then carefully inspect the underlying plywood or OSB sheathing for signs of rot, water damage, or structural weakness. Damaged decking is replaced to create a solid foundation. Next, we install an ice and water shield along vulnerable areas such as eaves, valleys, and around penetrations like chimneys and vent pipes. A high-quality synthetic underlayment is then applied across the entire roof surface, providing an additional moisture barrier beneath your new roofing shingles.

Drip edge flashing is installed along the eaves and rakes, followed by the careful application of starter strip shingles along the bottom edge. Our roofers then install the field shingles from bottom to top, maintaining precise alignment and using the correct number of fasteners per shingle as required by the manufacturer. Ridge cap shingles are applied last, completing the system and providing a finished, polished appearance. Proper ventilation components, including ridge vents and soffit vents, are integrated throughout the installation to promote airflow and extend the life of your new roof.

Types of Shingles We Install

Not all roof shingles are created equal, and selecting the right product for your property is a critical decision. We work with industry-leading manufacturers to offer a wide range of shingle options that fit different budgets, performance requirements, and design preferences. Our shingle roofing services cover multiple product categories so you can choose the ideal solution for your home or commercial building.

• Three-Tab Asphalt Shingles provide a clean, uniform appearance and remain a dependable choice for homeowners seeking a cost-effective new roof with proven performance
• Architectural (Dimensional) Shingles feature a layered construction that creates a more textured, dimensional look while offering enhanced wind resistance ratings of up to 130 miles per hour
• Luxury (Designer) Shingles replicate the look of natural slate or cedar shake with the lightweight convenience and durability of asphalt shingles

Why Professional Installation Matters

Even the highest-quality roofing shingles will underperform if they are not installed correctly. Improper nailing patterns, inadequate ventilation, and poor flashing techniques are among the leading causes of premature roof failure. Manufacturer warranties on shingle products often require that installation be performed by a certified roofing contractor following specific guidelines. When you choose RoofMasters for your shingle roof replacement, you benefit from a team that has built a reputation for quality, reliability, and technical expertise. We guarantee to provide you with a top-notch roofing system, priced in a fair and competitive manner, with one of the longest warranties in the business.

Industry trends continue to push shingle technology forward. Modern asphalt shingles now last 25 to 50 years depending on the product line, a significant improvement over earlier generations. Algae-resistant granules, enhanced fire ratings, and improved wind warranties make today’s shingle roofs a smarter investment than ever before.
