Reliable Roof Replacement for Your Home or Office

Few truly understand what a complex system your home or office’s roof truly is. Far more than just a layer of shingles or roof coating, it is complex network of different systems all working in concert to protect your home from the elements as well as to channel water and other debris away from your home. With all that it’s asked to stand up to, it’s little wonder that most recommend a roof replacement every 20-30 years. When it does come time to replace it, you want to hire a contractor that specializes exclusively in exterior services. We here at JBC are such a provider.

Understanding Your Roof’s Component Systems

The many different component systems of your roof include:

• The base structure: These are the rafters and trusses that support the roof deck.
• The roof deck: Typically comprised of thin layers of plywood, this is the material to which the roof underlayment and covering are affixed.
• The underlayment: This is a specialized barrier material that protects from water infiltration.
• The covering: These are the shingles, tiles, or coating that provide your roof’s outer layer of protection against the elements.
• The flashing: Flashing is the material installed at around protrusions and at the joints and valleys of your roof that prevent water from pooling and seeping in.
• The drainage systems: The network of gutters and downspouts installed along your roof channel water off the roof and away from your home or office building.
