How we can help
Add dependable protection beneath the roof covering
Underlayment products vary in material, fastening, exposure limits, vapor characteristics, and compatibility with finished roofing. Details at laps, edges, valleys, penetrations, and walls are as important as the field material.
We select underlayment that works with the roof covering, slope, deck, flashing, and local weather, then install it as part of the complete roof.

Common questions
Questions about roof underlayment installation
Can underlayment be installed without removing the roof covering?
Usually not across the roof field because underlayment sits directly beneath the finished roofing material.
Is underlayment waterproof?
Products vary. Underlayment is a secondary layer and does not replace properly installed finished roofing and flashing.
Which underlayment is best?
The roof material, slope, deck, exposure, ventilation, project requirements, and product instructions determine the appropriate choice.
