Asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing material in NY for good reason. Architectural shingles — also called dimensional or laminated shingles — provide a thicker, textured profile that mimics wood shake or slate. Lawtons Roofing & Maintenance installs asphalt shingle roofing throughout Lawtons, from three-tab to premium designer shingles.
We install every shingle roof to manufacturer specifications. That means 4-6 nails per shingle in the designated nailing zone, proper offset between courses, starter strips along the eave, and ridge cap shingles at every hip and ridge. When the manufacturer inspector shows up, your roof passes.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Consultation & Inspection
Our estimator examines your current roofline, checks the condition of the underlayment and flashing, and presents shingle options with honest pricing. GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed — you pick.
Strip & Inspect
We strip the old shingles, underlayment, and damaged flashing down to the roof deck. Every square foot of OSB or plywood sheathing inspected for rot, water damage, and soft spots. Compromised decking replaced before new materials go down.
Ice Shield & Drip Edge
Synthetic underlayment across the full roof deck. Ice-and-water shield in valleys, along eaves, and around chimney flashing, pipe boots, and vent boots. New drip edge installed at every eave and rake. Step flashing and counter-flashing at all wall transitions.
Shingle Installation
Field shingles installed with proper exposure and overlap. Nailed per manufacturer specs — 4 nails standard, 6 in high-wind zones. Starter strips at the eave prevent wind uplift. Ridge cap shingles finish every peak with integrated ridge vent for ventilation.
