How a Roofer Gets it Right

As with virtually everything else in the world, there’s a right way to carry out a roof installation -- and unfortunately, a wrong way. A qualified Orange County Roofer, of course, has the knowhow and experience to ensure what’s done is done right.

A correctly installed roof begins with shingle alignment, which means keeping those shingles in beautifully straight, neat rows. This precision ultimately creates the symmetrical, even appearance desired by every homeowner. To aid in this endeavor, crews often use chalk guidelines.

Direction also plays a role in the correct installation of shingles. In other words, an Orange County Roofing Company must start the installation at the right location. The correct location is the bottom of a roof. From there, professionals lay shingles in an even pattern, moving toward the top or middle of a roof. This approach enables crews to set each shingle atop the previous one. Why is this important? Because covering a shingle eliminates gaps and prevents rainwater leakage.

Aesthetic considerations come into play, too. Here’s how. Shingles generally are packaged in bundles, with coloration varying slightly in each load. To maintain color consistency across a rooftop, a qualified Orange County Roofer will install shingles one bundle at a time. Color variations, therefore, are gradual and unnoticeable.

Naturally, these are only some of the ways professionals ensure correct shingle installation. Should you be so inclined, you can learn about the others by consulting a local expert.
