What Are the Parts of a Roof?
Shingles – The topmost protective layer of roofing material. Shingles are your roofs first line of defense against the elements. They help prevent moisture damage to underlying layers of your roof.
Felt underlayment – Directly beneath the shingles is a layer of felt underlayment, which adds an additional layer of protection over the decking.
Decking – Decking are essentially sheets of plywood on which shingles and the felt underlayment lie.
Rafters – Rafters are the beams in your attic that give your roof its shape. Rafters are important structural components of your home that support and bear the weight of the roof.
Fascia – The fascia are the boards that add trim to the edges of your roof. Gutters attach to these fascia boards.
Eaves – The overhang of your roof that projects out beyond your wall is known as eaves. They help ensure water doesn’t drain directly down your home’s walls.
Flashing – Flashing is necessary whenever shingles meet a vertical surface, including chimneys, vents or walls. Different types of flashing are used depending on the obstruction. For example, step flashing may be used for walls or chimneys while vent pipe flashing may be used for ventilation.
What Is the Most Affordable Roofing Material?
Composite shingles, sometimes referred to as asphalt shingles, are technically the most affordable type of roofing material. However, affordability shouldn’t be confused with cheapness. The high-quality composite shingles used by Chet’s Roofing can last for several decades, especially when they’re well maintained. They also look great on any Kent-area home.
What Are The Different Types of Decking?
There are various types of decking materials and Chet's offers hardwood, cedar and composite decking options.
Why Are Gutters Important For Seattle Homes?
Gutters are responsible for water management, especially during rainstorms. Gutters channel water flow from your roof and directs it away from your home.
Why Are K-Line Gutters Better Than Seamed Gutters?
Seams in any construction context represent a structural weakness where leaks are more likely to occur. When you get rid of seams, you eliminate one of the primary leak risks. The benefits of K-line seamless gutters extend beyond simply reduced risk for leaks.
