Apalachicola Roofing & Maintenance has been installing asphalt shingle roofs across Apalachicola for 14 years. GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark — we carry the top shingle lines and we're certified by the manufacturers to install them.
Every shingle roof starts with the layers beneath the shingles. Synthetic underlayment rolls across the entire roof deck as the primary waterproof barrier. Ice-and-water shield goes down in the valleys, along the eaves, and around every penetration — chimney flashing, pipe boots, vent boots. Drip edge along every eave and rake directs water into the gutters instead of behind the fascia.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Free Roof Estimate
We inspect your existing roof deck and sheathing, measure the area, and help you choose between architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles. Color samples brought to your Apalachicola home.
Old Roof Removal
Full tear-off to the deck. Old shingles, deteriorated felt, and corroded flashing removed and hauled to the dumpster. Deck inspection catches hidden damage — rotted sheathing, water-stained OSB, nail pops — before it's buried under new shingles.
Underlayment & Flashing
Synthetic underlayment across the full roof deck. Ice-and-water shield in valleys, along eaves, and around chimney flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots. New drip edge installed at every eave and rake. Step flashing and counter-flashing at all wall transitions.
Shingle Courses
Asphalt shingles laid from eave to ridge with precise offset between courses. Every shingle fastened in the manufacturer's nailing zone — too high or too low voids the warranty. Ridge cap and hip shingles complete the system with ridge vents for balanced attic ventilation.
