Asphalt Shingle Roofing in San Clemente, California

The asphalt shingle is the standard roof in San Clemente, and the coastal climate demands the right grade. The architectural shingle handles the salt air and the wind. Asphalt shingle roofing in San Clemente installs the roof that lasts on the coast.

Why Asphalt Shingles Suit San Clemente

• The wind rating — the higher-rated shingles handle the coastal wind
• The algae-resistant coating — the granules resist the streaking in the damp
• The architectural grade — the thicker mat handles the sun and the salt better than the 3-tab
• The cost — the asphalt is the most affordable quality roof
• The look — the architectural profile suits the beach and the hillside homes

How We Install Asphalt Shingle Roofs in San Clemente

1. Prepare the roof — the tear-off and the deck inspection
2. Install the underlayment — the synthetic felt or the ice-and-water shield at the eaves
3. Install the flashing — the corrosion-resistant drip edge, step flashing, pipe boots, and valleys
4. Install the shingles — the architectural shingles in the manufacturer’s pattern
5. Install the ridge cap — the matching ridge shingles at the peak
6. Install the ventilation — the ridge vent for the balanced attic airflow

Preventing Roof Problems in San Clemente

• Choose the high-wind rating — the coastal wind is the second factor
• Use the corrosion-resistant flashing — the salt air eats the standard metal
• Keep the ventilation balanced — the airflow dries the roof and slows the algae
• Inspect after the storms — the wind and the rain reveal the damage

Expert tip: in San Clemente, the shingle grade and the flashing matter more than the color. The architectural shingle with the higher wind rating and the corrosion-resistant flashing handles the coast, and it lasts years longer than the 3-tab.
