Composite & Synthetic Shingles
Composite & Synthetic Shingles
Composite and synthetic shingles are engineered to mimic the look of slate, wood shake, or tile while using manufactured materials built for Florida's heat and storm cycles. Homeowners often choose them for a full roof replacement, a new build, or when an aging roof needs a material change rather than another layer of the same product. Installation follows the same careful sequence as any shingle system: sound decking, correctly lapped underlayment, and precise fastening at every course.
How We Approach the Install
- Deck & Underlayment — Old roofing is stripped to a bare deck, then synthetic underlayment is set and secured with cap nailers so the dry-in stays watertight between stages.
- Fastening & Layout — Pneumatic coil nailers drive fasteners at the pattern and depth Florida's wind-uplift rules call for, with chalk lines keeping every course straight.
- Detail Work — Drip edge, flashing, valleys, ridge cap, and starter strip are fitted around each penetration, then swept clean of loose nails before we leave.
Measuring & Maintaining the Roof
- Aerial Measurement — Measured aerial reports outline every slope and penetration ahead of time, so material counts and pricing reflect the actual roof.
- Soft Washing — Low-pressure soft washing removes moss, algae, and lichen without stripping the surface texture that gives composite shingles their finished look.
