Photo Album: What is High-Nailing?

Album Description

High-nailing a roof is a common issue we see among asphalt shingle roofs, many home-owners think they only need a repair.  Typical architectural asphalt shingles need to be nailed in a specific spot so they can laminate together properly in the sun if a roof has been high nailed the shingles will delaminate over time, this will become evident when shingles begin to slip or blow off your roof. 

How can you prevent this from happening again on your new roof? 

At Xterior Solutions we prefer Owens Corning Duration Shingles with SureNail Technology.  SureNail Technology is embedded into every Owens Corning Duration shingle, it is a poly-nylon blended material that is laid down EXACTLY where the shingle should be nailed, unlike common chalk lines that fade easily.  This is an added level of protection as well, helping defend again nails blowing through the shingle and plywood.  Additionally, SureNail Technology can help your roof withstand winds up to 130mph!
