The Underlayment

Everything between the deck and the surface. This is where most roof failures start — and where corners get cut, because no one sees it after installation day. We don't treat it that way. The underlayment system is specified for Utah winters, not for the minimum the code allows.

Ice & Water Shield

Self-adhering membrane at eaves, valleys, and penetrations. Non-negotiable in Utah winters.

Synthetic Felt

Modern replacement for #15 felt. Tear-resistant, UV-stable, and vapor-permeable.

Ventilation Layer

Ridge vents, soffit vents, and baffles sized to the attic. Undersized ventilation ends roofs early.
