Hexagon Roofing

Are you scratching your head each time you hear different roofing terms? Don't worry, we've got you covered!

Here's a breakdown of the common roofing terminology and what they mean (including even more in our infographic):

🌧 Roof Flashing: A thin strip of metal, or other material, used to prevent water leakage around chimneys, vents, and along the edges of the roof.

🛡 Shingles: A thin, overlapping layer of material used to cover the exterior surface of a roof.

☁️ Underlayment: The layer of material that is laid between the roof deck and the shingles, providing an extra protective barrier.

💨 Ventilation: The process of exchanging air with the outside environment in order to reduce moisture and regulate temperature.

This has to do with what we at Hexagon like to call the "c***k in your armor." 🛡️

Show of hands. ✋

How many of you know of a single/a couple shingles that look off on your roof? Seems normal, right?

Many homeowners can think this because of a normalization process that happens with our roof over time.

AKA, if you see your roof multiple times a day, you can grow conditioned to seeing things that are slowly getting more and more out of hand.

But, it's the next phenomenon that occurs that can cost in the long run. 💸 Often, we mistake pristine roofs with being new, when oftentimes that's not actually the case.

That roof may likely be years old and either well maintained or just in health condition.
