Oblong Roofing & Maintenance has been installing asphalt shingle roofs across Oblong for 13 years. GAF Timberline HDZ, Owens Corning Duration, CertainTeed Landmark — we carry the top shingle lines and we're certified by the manufacturers to install them.
Architectural shingles are heavier and more wind-resistant than three-tab because of their laminated, multi-layer construction. The fiberglass mat provides the structural base, asphalt makes it waterproof, and the granulated ceramic surface protects against UV radiation and provides fire resistance. We install them over synthetic underlayment with ice-and-water shield at valleys and eaves.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Consultation & Inspection
We inspect your existing roof deck and sheathing, measure the area, and help you choose between architectural and three-tab asphalt shingles. Color samples brought to your Oblong home.
Strip & Inspect
Old roof stripped to bare deck. We inspect the plywood or OSB sheathing for structural integrity, replace any compromised boards, and prep a clean, solid substrate for the new underlayment and shingles.
Waterproofing Layer
The waterproofing layer is what protects your home if a shingle ever fails. We install ice-and-water shield at every vulnerable point — valleys, eaves, penetrations — then roll synthetic underlayment over the entire deck. Drip edge directs water into gutters, not behind fascia boards.
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.

Proper Flashing at Every Penetration
Chimney flashing, step flashing, pipe boots, vent boots, valley channels — every transition sealed with waterproof sealant and proper overlap. Flashing failures cause 90% of roof leaks.
