Shingle Roofing

Asphalt shingle is still the most common roof in Western North Carolina, and Jay's Roofing is a CertainTeed ShingleMaster company — the credential CertainTeed reserves for contractors who have demonstrated they install the product to specification.

The CertainTeed lines we install

Landmark and Landmark Pro

The architectural shingle that goes on most homes we roof. Dimensional, wind-rated, and available in the colors you see across the valley — Weathered Wood, Driftwood, Burnt Sienna, Charcoal Black, Georgetown Gray and Moire Black.

Grand Manor, Presidential and Carriage House

CertainTeed's luxury shingles. Considerably heavier and thicker, with a deep shadow line that reads as slate or shake from the street. This is what we install on the larger homes in Biltmore Forest, Montreat and Cheshire where the roof is a real part of the architecture.

Synthetic shake and cedar

For camps, cabins and homes that want a shake look — either genuine cedar or a synthetic that carries the texture without the maintenance.

What a proper shingle installation involves

  • Sound decking, replaced where it is not
  • Synthetic underlayment, with waterproofing membrane in valleys and at eaves
  • Correct starter course and drip edge
  • Step and counter-flashing at every wall and chimney
  • Balanced intake and ridge ventilation
  • Nailing pattern and count to CertainTeed spec — the detail that most affects wind performance

Installed for new construction and replacement alike.

Serving Swannanoa, Black Mountain, Montreat, Ridgecrest, Asheville, Biltmore Forest, Fairview, Weaverville, Mars Hill and throughout Western North Carolina.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does CertainTeed ShingleMaster mean?

    It is a credential CertainTeed reserves for contractors who have demonstrated they install the product to specification. It matters because shingle performance - especially in wind - depends heavily on correct nailing pattern, flashing and ventilation.

  • Which shingle should I pick?

    Landmark and Landmark Pro architectural shingles are what most homes in the valley wear - Weathered Wood, Driftwood, Burnt Sienna and Charcoal Black are the colors we install most. For larger homes where the roof is part of the architecture, Grand Manor and Presidential give a slate or shake look with real depth.

  • How long does a shingle roof last here?

    Mountain conditions are harder on shingles than flatland - steep pitch helps, but shade, damp and wind take their toll. Quality of installation and attic ventilation matter as much as the shingle itself, which is why we detail both to CertainTeed spec.

  • Do you install shake as well?

    Yes - genuine cedar and synthetic shake that carries the texture without the maintenance. We roofed a camp in Black Mountain with cedar shakes and Tuff-Rib metal together.
