FAQs
What makes your energy-efficient roofing underlayments different from traditional felt in Helenwood?
Our advanced synthetic underlayments are engineered with multi-layer reflective barriers and micro-venting channels. Unlike traditional #15 or #30 felt, they resist moisture absorption, block up to 97% of radiant heat, and remain stable in Helenwood’s hot, humid summers. This translates into lower attic temperatures, reduced HVAC load, and a much longer service life for the entire roof system.
How much energy savings can Helenwood homeowners expect after installing these underlayments?
Savings vary by home design and insulation levels, but local monitoring shows attic temperatures drop 20–30 °F on peak summer days. That reduction typically lowers cooling costs 8–15 % annually in the Helenwood area. Over a 30-year roof lifespan, many homeowners recoup the added underlayment cost several times through utility savings alone.
Are the underlayments compatible with metal, asphalt-shingle, and low-slope roofs?
Yes. We stock distinct versions rated for metal panels, architectural shingles, and self-adhered membranes used on low-slope sections. Each product carries ASTM D226/D4869 and ASTM E108 Class A fire ratings. Our crew assesses deck pitch, fastening patterns, and manufacturer requirements to match the right underlayment to your specific roof type.
Will the installation process add time to my roofing project?
No significant delays. Our synthetic rolls are lighter and up to 10 sq per roll, so crews cover the deck 25–30 % faster than with felt. Even with the precise taping of seams and reflective layer placement, most Helenwood re-roofs finish in the same 1–2-day window as conventional jobs.
How durable are these underlayments in Helenwood’s severe weather, including high winds and heavy rain?
The products we use have a tear strength up to 20 × higher than felt and include anti-slip surfacing for safer, tighter fastening. Lab and field tests confirm they stay watertight under 180 mph wind-driven rain. All seams are taped or self-adhered, creating a secondary moisture barrier that protects even if shingles blow off during extreme storms.
What warranties and certifications back your energy-efficient underlayment system?
Each underlayment carries a manufacturer’s 30-year limited warranty covering material defects and UV exposure up to six months. Because Roofing Done Right is a certified installer, you also receive our 10-year workmanship warranty. Products meet ENERGY STAR®, ICC-ES, and Florida Building Code approvals, ensuring they comply with regional standards and may qualify for local energy-efficiency rebates.
