Asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing material in MI for good reason. Architectural shingles — also called dimensional or laminated shingles — provide a thicker, textured profile that mimics wood shake or slate. Allouez Roofing & Maintenance installs asphalt shingle roofing throughout Allouez, from three-tab to premium designer shingles.
The difference between a 15-year roof and a 30-year roof isn't the shingle — 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. Allouez Roofing & Maintenance follows the exact specs that keep the manufacturer warranty valid.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Consultation & Inspection
Our estimator examines your current roofline, checks the condition of the underlayment and flashing, and presents shingle options with honest pricing. GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed — you pick.
Tear-Off & Deck Prep
Old roof stripped to bare deck. We inspect the plywood or OSB sheathing for structural integrity, replace any compromised boards, and prep a clean, solid substrate for the new underlayment and shingles.
Waterproofing Layer
Ice-and-water shield bonded at valleys and eave lines. Synthetic underlayment over the full deck. New aluminum drip edge at every eave and rake. All flashing — chimney, pipe, vent, wall — sealed and secured before a single shingle goes down.
Shingle Courses
Asphalt shingles laid from eave to ridge with precise offset between courses. Every shingle fastened in the manufacturer's nailing zone — too high or too low voids the warranty. Ridge cap and hip shingles complete the system with ridge vents for balanced attic ventilation.
