Asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing material in AR for good reason. Architectural shingles — also called dimensional or laminated shingles — provide a thicker, textured profile that mimics wood shake or slate. Roland Roofing & Maintenance installs asphalt shingle roofing throughout Roland, from three-tab to premium designer shingles.
We install every shingle roof to manufacturer specifications. That means 4-6 nails per shingle in the designated nailing zone, proper offset between courses, starter strips along the eave, and ridge cap shingles at every hip and ridge. When the manufacturer inspector shows up, your roof passes.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Shingle Selection
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.
Strip & Inspect
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.
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.
Shingle Installation
Starter strips along the eave, then field courses of architectural shingles with manufacturer-specified offset and overlap. Each shingle nailed in the designated zone with 4-6 fasteners. Ridge cap shingles hand-nailed at every hip and ridge for a finished, watertight top.
