Reinforced shingles

Notes:

• Reinforced shingles are custom-built designs offered by roofing experts such as Owens-Corning. They start by inserting a waterproofing underlayer of the roof to protect it from extreme weather.
• They then install starter shingles that protect the roof from water leakage and blow-offs. The process ends with the installation of vents that regulate heat and humidity levels to minimize the risk of mold and ice damming.
