• Shingles with curled edges

• Small pinholes of light (visible from within a dark attic)

Flashing is a material made up of aluminum or copper. It is used over joints in roofing and wall construction to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage.

The method used today is made up of polyethylene and rubber. The higher quality underlayment that we carry at Roofman has a nylon scrim and a grip side for the shingles, as well as a slip side for the wood. This modern technology protects your roof more efficiently, and for an extended length of time, from any water damage.
