What is a Roof Underlayment?
Roof underlayments are the protective layer we install directly on your roof deck before shingles or tiles go on. Think of it as your roof’s hidden shield. It blocks water, adds strength, and protects your home during heavy rain or storms. No matter what roofing style you choose, the underlayment plays a key role in how long your roof lasts.
Why Roof Underlayment Matter in South Florida
Shingles and tiles look nice, but they aren’t designed to stop every drop of water. The roof underlayment seals the roof deck, acting as a shield against leaks and storm damage. Without it, one missing shingle could lead to water damage, mold, or costly repairs.
Here’s what the right underlayment gives you:
- Protection against heavy rain and storms
- Extra insulation to keep your home efficient
- Long-lasting durability, even in harsh heat
- Peace of mind knowing your home is covered
