At Star Home, we know that replacing a roof is about so much more than just swapping out old shingles for new ones. A high-quality roof protects your home, boosts energy efficiency, and adds lasting value, but only if every detail is done right.
Key Roofing Components to Know
When we work on your roof, we focus on every detail:
Decking (Roof Sheathing) – The foundation layer where shingles are attached; we inspect and repair any rotted or compromised boards.
Water & Ice Shield – Protection against water infiltration in vulnerable areas.
Underlayment – A secondary water-resistant barrier under the shingles.
Shingle Classes & Materials – We offer different classes and materials to match your needs and budget.
Ventilation – Provides airflow through your attic space.
Why Ventilation Matters
One of the most overlooked aspects of a roofing project is proper ventilation. Did you know that 9 out of 10 homes aren’t ventilated correctly? Without proper airflow through your attic, you risk excessive heat buildup, moisture damage, and even harmful mold growth. Our team at Star Home offers ventilation solutions that can help lower your energy bills while protecting the life of your roof.
