East Syracuse Roofing & Maintenance has been installing asphalt shingle roofs across East Syracuse for 21 years. GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark — we carry the top shingle lines and we're certified by the manufacturers to install them.
The difference between a 15-year roof and a 30-year roof isn't the shingle — it's the installation. Proper nail placement in the manufacturer's nailing zone, correct overlap between courses, ice-and-water shield at all vulnerable areas, and flashing that's sealed at every transition. East Syracuse Roofing & Maintenance follows the exact specs that keep the manufacturer warranty valid.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Free Roof Estimate
We inspect your existing roof deck and sheathing, measure the area, and help you choose between architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles. Color samples brought to your East Syracuse home.
Old Roof Removal
We strip the old shingles, underlayment, and damaged flashing down to the roof deck. Every square foot of OSB or plywood sheathing inspected for rot, water damage, and soft spots. Compromised decking replaced before new materials go down.
Waterproofing Layer
The waterproofing layer is what protects your home if a shingle ever fails. We install ice-and-water shield at every vulnerable point — valleys, eaves, penetrations — then roll synthetic underlayment over the entire deck. Drip edge directs water into gutters, not behind fascia boards.
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.
