Insulation

This layer lies directly under your roof on top of your attic to keep heat in and colder weather out.

Ventilation 

Installing this in your attic as well helps keep the flow of air running to avoid any built-up wet or stagnant air. This is crucial in preventing mold and deterioration.

Framing

Much as it describes, this durable layer will make up the shape of your roof. It also provides the structure for all the other materials that will be added on top.

Roof deck 

This layer that will lie on top of the frame connects all of the parts of the roof from the joints to the trusses. It is typically made up of sheets of wood to form a strong, flat surface.

Moisture barrier

While insulation can control the temperature in your home, the moisture barrier controls the flow of water. Whether it is snow, rain, or even condensation on humid days, this layer will keep the wood and other components of your roof dry.

Underlayment

Before the shingles are added, the underlayment provides a uniform sticky surface to ensure that the shingles stay put even in inclement weather such as strong storms or gusty winds.

Starter strip

An area of shingles will be laid down on the edge of your roof to get ready for the main shingles to be laid. This creates a nice base for the placement of the shingles and acts as a barrier to make sure they are all sealed.

Shingles 

This is one of the most obvious parts of your roof visible from afar. The shingles make up the overall look and protection of your roof. They are one of the most important parts of protection from sun, water, and even damage coming from the interior or exterior of your house.

Ridge cap 

The ridge cap protects the joints and ridges of your roof. It seals together the exterior for further protection against the elements.

Flashing 

You may opt for further protection from water or the loss of shingles

Flashing is used to protect seams and joints and any other areas where shingles or seams are vulnerable to outside elements.
