Shield Your Roof

  • Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements. Check for damage and make repairs to prevent leaks.
  • If a roof replacement is needed – which provides a 56.9% return on investment using asphalt shingles, according to the report – consider adding a high-quality underlayment for an extra layer of protection.
  • For example, Sol-R-Skin BLUE from Westlake Royal Building Products is an external insulating underlayment for steep slope roofing. This all-in-one product serves as a water-protective layer, energy-saving radiant barrier, and insulation blanket, with an anti-glare coating for easier installation.
