Understanding Roof Underlayment

When most homeowners think about roofing, they usually focus on the visual appeal of shingles or metal panels, often overlooking an important component: the underlayment.

What is the Underlayment? It is a protective layer installed between the roof deck and the primary roofing material, protecting your property against weather. The main function of underlayment is to prevent water leaks and protect the roof's structure from moisture buildup.

In addition to water protection, the underlayment acts as a defense against wind-driven rain and flying debris during storms.

For areas with unpredictable weather, like Texas, condensation can become a significant issue. Underlayment helps manage this buildup, reducing the risk of mold and rot.

Beyond protection, high-quality underlayment can enhance your roof’s durability and lifespan. Underlayment can also feature reflective properties to improve energy efficiency by minimizing heat transfer into your home.
