FAQs
What makes premium synthetic underlayment better than traditional asphalt-saturated felt for Fayetteville roofs?
Premium synthetic underlayment is lighter, stronger, and far more tear-resistant than 15- or 30-lb felt. It lays flatter, repels water instead of absorbing it, and won’t wrinkle in Fayetteville’s hot, humid summers. Because it is engineered to stay UV-stable for months, it protects the deck even if rain delays shingle installation. The result is a longer-lasting, better-sealed roofing system that meets today’s tougher building-code wind ratings.
How does the climate in Fayetteville, NC, influence the need for a high-quality underlayment?
Fayetteville experiences wide temperature swings, frequent summer thunderstorms, and the occasional coastal hurricane. These conditions can drive rain and wind under shingles. A premium synthetic underlayment creates an extra waterproof barrier, stopping wind-blown rain and preventing deck saturation that leads to rot or mold. Its high temperature tolerance (usually 240–260 °F) also resists heat buildup common on dark Southern roofs.
Is premium underlayment compatible with any roof covering, or only asphalt shingles?
While most homeowners use it beneath architectural shingles, premium underlayment is approved for metal, concrete tile, cedar shake, and even synthetic slate. We verify the exact product’s fire and slip ratings for each material. Because it is non-granular and low-friction, it won’t abrade metal panels or catch debris under tile battens, ensuring a smooth, code-compliant install regardless of the final roof covering.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft single-story home, tear-off, deck inspection, and synthetic underlayment installation typically take one full day. Larger or steeper roofs may require two. Our crew works from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., keeps driveways clear after hours, and performs a magnetic nail sweep daily, so you can enter and exit safely. Final shingle installation follows immediately—or can be scheduled later if you need a staging gap.
What warranty coverage do you provide for the underlayment and the overall roof system?
We register every roof with a 50-year transferable manufacturer’s warranty on the synthetic underlayment, covering material defects and up to 180 days of full UV exposure. When combined with our Owens Corning or CertainTeed shingles, you receive a single-source, non-prorated 25-year workmanship warranty backed by the manufacturer. In other words, both labor and materials are covered, giving you complete peace of mind.
Does premium underlayment add much to the cost of my roof replacement in Fayetteville?
The upgrade from felt to premium synthetic underlayment usually adds $0.12–$0.18 per square foot—roughly $240–$360 on a 2,000-sq-ft roof. Considering it improves wind uplift resistance by 30–40 %, lowers the risk of leaks during installation, and extends roof life by several years, most homeowners find the return on investment compelling.
