Anatomy of a Roof

Roof Ridge

The roof ridge, or ridge of a roof is the horizontal line running the length of the roof where the two roof planes meet. This intersection creates the highest point on a roof, sometimes referred to as the peak. Hip and ridge shingles are specifically designed for this part of a roof.

Roof Vent

A ridge vent is an exhaust vent that runs horizontally along the peak of the roof allowing warm, humid air to escape from the attic. Use our ventilation calculator to calculate your attic ventilation requirements and determine how much exhaust ventilation you would need to properly ventilate your roof and attic.

Hip

The hip on a roof is the intersection of two roof planes that meet to form a sloping ridge running from the peak to the eave. Hip and ridge shingles are specifically designed for this part of a roof.

Roof Deck

The roof deck is the structural foundation base for the roof system and is usually made of wood or plywood.

Roofing Underlayment

Roofing underlayment is a layer of material, usually synthetic or felt, that adds extra protection on top of the roof deck and under the shingles. Synthetic underlayment helps repel moisture and provides protection against water infiltration. Synthetic underlayment is becoming a popular material choice over felt due to proven water-resistance performance and long-lasting durability.

Roofing Valley

The roof valley is the V-shaped intersection between two sloping roofs joining at an angle to provide water runoff.

Laminated Architectural Shingles

Laminated architectural asphalt shingles contain more than one layer of tabs to add dimension, performance and durability to a roof. Architectural shingles are sometimes referred to as three-dimensional shingles or laminated shingles. The opposite of architectural shingles are three-tab shingles, which are produced as a single layer of tabs and appear flat or without the dimension of a laminated shingle.

Roof Gable

A roof gable is the triangular section of the outer wall at the peak of the roof between a sloping roof and eave. A roof gable is sometimes referred to as a rake.

Metal drip edge

Metal drip edge is a narrow strip of noncorrosive metal used at the rake and eave to help manage dripping water by facilitating water runoff to protect the underlying section of a wall.

Ice and water barrier

An ice and water barrier is a self-adhered waterproofing material installed along eaves, valleys, side walls, and other sensitive areas to protect against ice damage and wind-driven rain.

Eave

An eave is the lower border of the roof that overhangs the wall usually located in the first three feet of a roof.

Undereave vent

Undereave vents are intake vents located under the eaves of the roof that help draw cool dry air into the attic. Again, you can use our ventilation calculator to calculate your attic ventilation requirements and determine how much intake ventilation you would need to properly ventilate your roof and attic.

View Process

Step 1

Home Residential Assessment & Estimate

A Skyshield roofing professional visits your home to inspect and assess your current roof for free. Using Hover Technology property measurements and Xactimate pricing research, we generate a fair estimate based on market data. We’ll be there to answer any questions regarding your new roof and make sure you’re comfortable with any aspect of installation, maintenance and upkeep.

Step 2

Select Roof Materials & Schedule Build

A Skyshield roofing professional brings samples of all our roof materials to your home for you to consider and select from, along with their extensive knowledge to help guide your decision. After signing a construction agreement, you choose the start date for work to begin.

Step 3

The Build

One day prior to the build, a dumpster arrives. Skyshield’s team of material roof installers and jobsite management get to work between 6:30 and 7:30am on the day of the build. On average, most roofs take us one day to complete. We’ll have a jobsite manager on site as well.

Step 4

Roof Completion & Clean Up

After our roof installers finish up with the roof, the team sweeps your property with magnets to collect any nails. Before we leave, we invite you to inspect our completed work. We file all completion documents so you can focus on enjoying your home again with your family.
