The photos above feature our
crew stripping down a roof to wood decking and installing a new synthetic underlayment.
Roofing underlayment is a barrier that helps preserve the overall roofing system.
It is essential.
There are many kinds of underlayment for different types of projects. Differences may vary when looking into underlayment’s.
Some may include: how water resistant (remember this does not mean
waterproof!), protection from decking, vapor protection, temporary protection
(in case there is a storm). These variables play into the decision making process
along with where you live, how big your project is, and how big your budget it.
One the project above we used synthetic
underlayment. We recommend this to
many customers because It is a water and vapor resistant underlayment that is
much lighter and stronger than other underlayment’s. Synthetic was made to
replace felt underlayment and has been a great product for many.
