Shingle roofing is the backbone of residential roofing in La Plume. Whether you're choosing architectural shingles for their dimensional look or three-tab shingles for budget-friendly coverage, the installation process is what determines how long they last. La Plume Roofing & Maintenance follows manufacturer nailing specs and overlap requirements on every job.
Architectural shingles are heavier and more wind-resistant than three-tab because of their laminated, multi-layer construction. The fiberglass mat provides the structural base, asphalt makes it waterproof, and the granulated ceramic surface protects against UV radiation and provides fire resistance. We install them over synthetic underlayment with ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Shingle Selection
Our estimator examines your current roofline, checks the condition of the underlayment and flashing, and presents shingle options with honest pricing. GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed — you pick.
Strip & Inspect
We strip the old shingles, underlayment, and damaged flashing down to the roof deck. Every square foot of OSB or plywood sheathing inspected for rot, water damage, and soft spots. Compromised decking replaced before new materials go down.
Ice Shield & Drip Edge
Ice-and-water shield bonded at valleys and eave lines. Synthetic underlayment over the full deck. New aluminum drip edge at every eave and rake. All flashing — chimney, pipe, vent, wall — sealed and secured before a single shingle goes down.
Nailing & Overlap
Field shingles installed with proper exposure and overlap. Nailed per manufacturer specs — 4 nails standard, 6 in high-wind zones. Starter strips at the eave prevent wind uplift. Ridge cap shingles finish every peak with integrated ridge vent for ventilation.
