Understanding Roofing Materials

Join Drew, our Sales Estimator at Mattsson Roofing, as he explains the essential underlayment materials used in roofing projects to ensure your home's protection and durability.


Key Roofing Materials Explained

  • Ice and Water Shield: This water-resistant barrier is applied around edges and critical areas such as valleys and chimneys to ensure water rolls off effortlessly.


  • Summit 60 Synthetic Underlayment: A crucial layer that allows your decking to breathe while providing robust protection against water.


  • Drip Edge: Installed around the roof's rake, this metal piece prevents wind-driven rain from seeping under the decking and causing rot.


  • Starter Strip: This tar-lined strip helps shingles adhere securely, preventing wind uplift and water infiltration at the roof edges.


  • Shingles: The final layer, covering the roof slope and completing the protection system with style and durability.
