Shingle roofing is the backbone of residential roofing in Chama. Whether you're choosing architectural shingles for their dimensional look or three-tab shingles for budget-friendly coverage, the installation process is what determines how long they last. Chama Roofing & Maintenance follows manufacturer nailing specs and overlap requirements on every job.
The difference between a 15-year roof and a 30-year roof isn't the shingle โ it's the installation. Proper nail placement in the manufacturer's nailing zone, correct overlap between courses, ice-and-water shield at all vulnerable areas, and flashing that's sealed at every transition. Chama Roofing & Maintenance follows the exact specs that keep the manufacturer warranty valid.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Consultation & Inspection
We inspect your existing roof deck and sheathing, measure the area, and help you choose between architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles. Color samples brought to your Chama home.
Tear-Off & Deck Prep
Full tear-off to the deck. Old shingles, deteriorated felt, and corroded flashing removed and hauled to the dumpster. Deck inspection catches hidden damage โ rotted sheathing, water-stained OSB, nail pops โ before it's buried under new shingles.
Underlayment & Flashing
Synthetic underlayment across the full roof deck. Ice-and-water shield in valleys, along eaves, and around chimney flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots. New drip edge installed at every eave and rake. Step flashing and counter-flashing at all wall transitions.
Nailing & Overlap
Field shingles installed with proper exposure and overlap. Nailed per manufacturer specs โ 4 nails standard, 6 in high-wind zones. Starter strips at the eave prevent wind uplift. Ridge cap shingles finish every peak with integrated ridge vent for ventilation.
