If you need a new shingle roof in Mackinaw City, here's what matters: fiberglass mat construction with ceramic granulated coating for UV protection and fire rating. Architectural shingles carry a Class A fire rating and wind resistance ratings up to 130 mph. Mackinaw City Roofing & Maintenance helps you pick the right shingle for your home and budget.
Architectural shingles are heavier and more wind-resistant than three-tab because of their laminated, multi-layer construction. The fiberglass mat provides the structural base, asphalt makes it waterproof, and the granulated ceramic surface protects against UV radiation and provides fire resistance. We install them over synthetic underlayment with ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Shingle Selection
Free on-site inspection. We measure, assess your roof deck condition, and walk you through architectural vs. three-tab shingles with realistic pricing. No pressure, just facts.
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.
Nailing & Overlap
Field shingles installed with proper exposure and overlap. Nailed per manufacturer specs — 4 nails standard, 6 in high-wind zones. Starter strips at the eave prevent wind uplift. Ridge cap shingles finish every peak with integrated ridge vent for ventilation.
