Viking Roofing is a family-owned business that provides quality roofing at a fair market value, ensuring your home is protected for decades. We achieve this through the use of the latest materials, proven methods, and superior craftsmanship and offer a 7 year warranty on labor. A new roof begins with selecting the right materials to ensure both durability and aesthetics. Asphalt shingles are the most common choice, typically providing a 20-25 year lifespan of protection. They are affordable and effective, available in various qualities and colors. Architectural shingles deliver a popular upgrade, offering enhanced protection and a more refined appearance, with a lifespan of 25-30 years. For a distinctive look, designer luxury tiles provide unique textures and colors ideal for enhancing curb appeal, boasting a lifespan of up to 30-50 years. Metal roofs represent another excellent option, known for longevity, energy efficiency, and appealing design. They withstand extreme weather conditions and can often last up to 50 years.
To prevent water seepage, a leak barrier is installed in vulnerable areas, such as valleys and eaves. Roof underlayment, made from synthetic materials, protects against water infiltration. Valleys are also diligently sealed and reinforced, as they are vital for directing water off the roof (2). A starter strip of shingles, a drip edge, and proper flashing protect against wind and moisture (3). Asphalt shingles are the most common choice (4). Roof and ridge vents are strategically positioned to promote airflow and regulate temperature (5). Hip and ridge cap shingles are applied along the roof peaks to protect against wind and water while providing a finished appearance (6).
*Note: Generally, only two unforeseen issues arise when installing a new roof, affecting the final cost. Unfortunately, these cannot be discovered until the tear-off of the old roof begins. First, water damage may present the need to replace roof sheathing (commonly described as plywood) and some of the framing in a worst-case scenario. Secondly, previous homeowners may have installed a second layer of new shingles over old ones as a cheap fix. This increases the difficulty of the tear-off process. In both cases, you will immediately receive an update with pictures, the solution, and the additional cost.
