Shingle roofing
A familiar residential roofing choice that still depends on careful preparation, flashing, ventilation, layout, and cleanup.
A complete shingle system
The shingles are visible. The preparation protects them.
A dependable shingle roof is built from the deck outward, with each layer and transition serving a purpose.
Underlayment, roof edges, valleys, wall flashing, pipe penetrations, starter courses, field shingles, and ridge materials all contribute to the finished result. Ventilation and the condition of the underlying deck also deserve attention.
MG Metal Roofing reviews the existing roof and explains the material and preparation choices before work begins.
Installation priorities
Good shingle work is organized around the vulnerable areas.

Common questions
Before selecting shingles.
How do I choose a shingle?
Appearance matters, but product type, roof design, budget, and available manufacturer options should also be discussed.
Can you know whether the deck needs repairs beforehand?
Visible signs can help, but some concealed conditions are found only after the existing roofing is removed.
Does MG Metal Roofing install both metal and shingles?
Yes. MG Metal Roofing can discuss the practical differences and help you compare options for your home.
