# The shadow line of
a slate or shake.

Heavyweight architectural shingle, ice-and-water at every valley, ridge vent calibrated to your attic. The roof that does its job for the next twenty-five winters.

What it is

## Architectural shingle, installed the slow way.

We tear off to the deck, replace any rot, lay synthetic underlayment with proper overlap, ice-and-water every valley and eave, and fasten every shingle to exact manufacturer specification (four nails minimum, six in the wind zone). The job takes one day longer than the competition. The roof lasts twice as long.

SystemHeavyweight architectural

UnderlaymentSynthetic + ice-and-water

FasteningFour to six nails per shingle, to spec

VentilationRidge + intake, balanced

Warranty25-yr material · lifetime craft

CrewOne foreman, four installers
