Professional Shingle Roof Installation in Buffalo, NY
When you need a new shingle roof installation, Expert Contracting brings two decades of experience and GAF Master Elite® certification to every project. Installing asphalt shingles requires precise techniques and attention to detail that only comes from years of dedicated service in the roofing industry. Our installation process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your existing roof structure, checking for any underlying issues that could compromise your new roof’s performance. We examine the decking condition, identify areas needing reinforcement, and ensure proper ventilation systems are in place to maximize your shingle roof’s lifespan.
The shingle roof installation process involves multiple critical steps that we’ve perfected since 2004. First, we remove old roofing materials down to the deck, inspecting every square foot for damage or deterioration. Next, we install high-quality underlayment and ice and water shields in vulnerable areas like valleys and eaves. Our certified roof installers then apply starter strips along the roof edges before methodically laying each shingle course with precision nailing patterns that meet manufacturer specifications. This meticulous approach ensures your new shingle roof provides optimal protection against Western New York‘s varied weather conditions.

Beyond standard asphalt shingles, we also install specialty options including impact-resistant shingles that qualify for insurance discounts and energy-efficient cool roof shingles that reflect solar radiation. The roofing shingles market has evolved significantly, with modern materials incorporating advanced granule technology and modified asphalt formulations that resist algae growth and UV damage.
