About Shingles

Angela R. Brown Construction, LLC supplies and installs both entry-level traditional three-tab shingles and architectural designer type fiberglass shingles.

​25 and 30-year 3-Tab Shingles  
Traditional three-tab, self sealing asphalt shingles have a smooth appearance and a pro-rated warranty of 25 to 30 years. The main difference between the life expectancy of certain shingles is the weight and thickness. As an industry-standard, this type of shingle is more economical and easier to install. 

Designer & Architectural Shingles

Architectural self sealing, fibreglass shingles simulate cedar shingles in appearance, but are much more durable and weather-resistant. They have a layered (3D) look to them that is the result of having multiple layers of material. Though more expensive than traditional 3-tab and generally more laborous to install, architectural shingles provide longer pro-rated warranties and are generally thicker and heavier than standard 3-tab shingles.  Their higher resistance to weather conditions help to raise the overall value of the house.
What to expect during a shingle roof installation:
  • Property protection and coverage using plywood and tarps;
  • Removal of ALL old roofing material;
  • Repair and replacement of rotten sheathing (boards/plywood) underneath the shingles if needed;
  • Re-nailing and re-securing of roof deck.  This will help enhance the final look of the roof by providing a flat surface to install the new material;
  • Installation of Ice & Water self sealing underlayment to the roof deck and seals around nail penetrations,protecting rakes, eaves and critical flashings from water infiltration.  It provides an extra layer of protection from wind, rain, ice, and snow trying to penetrate your roof system;
  • Synthetic underlayment installation, which forms a secondary leak-proof barrier in addition to the shingles installed above it;
  • Installation of starter shingles along the perimeter of the roof. The starter shingles are installed at the eave of your roof to help prevent shingle blow-off during high winds;
  • Installation of drip edge metal flashing to the eavestrough area of the roof.  This will minimize animal entry and leaky eavestroughs;  
  • Installation of shingles.  These are fastened using galvanized nails;
  • Installation of balanced ventilation to the roof finish – shingle roof vents, bathroom exhaust vents, ridge venting.  Venting is designed to provide continuous air flow to remove condensation.  There are many types of ventilation products.  Choosing the right system for your project is dependent on the size of the attic space.  Improperly vented roof structures could reduce the life expectancy of shingles upwards of 25% and make it more costly heating and cooling your property;
  • Installation of metal hip & ridge shingles which help to protect against leaks and high winds at these vulnerable areas and also to cover up ventilation products. The hip & ridge shingles are designed to to match the field shingles and provide an attractive, finished roofing system;
  • Caulking, sealing, and clean up of all debris. 

Decking/Capentry

It should be noted that the roofing material is only as good as the decking to which it is fastened to.  If the sloping shingles and flat roof look wavy and rippled, have indentations and are holding ponding water in various spots outside of wear and tear, the problem may be with the structure. That is why we provide customized carpentry solutions and options that target the overall roof structure and appearance.  From basic roof board replacement and installation of plywood sheathing, to reframing, resloping, attic stabilizing and redesign. We can help design a roof that’s right for you!


​Soffit, Fascia, and Siding

Angela R. Brown Construction, LLC installs aluminum soffit and fascia cladding that is maintenance free and corrosion resistant. These pre-painted aluminum panels come in a variety of different colors and styles to match your home's exterior. Soffit and fascia panels are used to clad the overhang assembly around the perimeter of a shingle roof.
​
Soffit vents are needed to provide air circulation within the roof structure to prevent condensation and mold issues. Older properties generally have wood soffit and fascia details which require ongoing maintenance and repairs. Consider going maintenance free!

Fascia aluminum is a cladding that covers the wood fascia boards and is installed behind the eaves troughing as is part of the overall assembly.

Eavestroughing and Leaf Guard

Angela R. Brown Construction, LLC installs pre-painted, aluminum 5” and 6” seamless eavestroughing. This system of troughing and down pipes is designed to carry water away from house foundations. The advantage of aluminum is its maintenance free design, as it does not rust, and is available in many colors to complement a homes exterior. Your eavestroughing is only as strong as the wood fascia boards or rafters that it is attached to. Always make sure that rotten and damaged wood is properly replaced prior to installing the eaves trough.

Installing a Leaf Guard system is highly recommended for properties such as apartment complexes who have trees nearby and want to minimize cleaning and maintenance. Eavestroughing systems without Leaf Guard generally need to be cleaned out twice a year, in spring and fall to function optimally. Debris can negatively affect water flow, and in the winter months ice and snow build-up can force its way under the roofing material and potentially enter the structure causing water damage.
A Leaf Guard system:
  • Protects the eaves trough from leaves and debris from clogging
  • Provides additional strength to the overall structure of the eaves trough and will greatly minimize cleaning and maintenance.

Roof Ventilation

Proper ventilation is essential in gaining the maximum life out of your shingle and flat roof. Properties without proper ventilation risk shortening the life expectancy of their roof by approximately 25%. Overlooking the roofing and soffit ventilation system in your property can result in:
  1. premature failure of the roofing material
  2. buckling of the roofing due to deck movement
  3. rotting of the wood members
  4. moisture accumulation in insulation
  5. increased heating and A/C costs
With proper ventilation air will circulate freely under the roof deck and carry away water vapour before it can condense. One of the best methods is a combination of eaves or soffit vents and ridge or roof vents which provide a natural draft from bottom to the top of attic space. At Angela R. Brown Construction, LLC, we can design a ventilation system to suite your needs.
Types of venting we install:
  • Aluminum sloping shingle vents
  • Turbine and ridge vents
  • Bathroom exhaust vents
  • Soffit eaves vents and gable louver vents
