ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFING SYSTEM
ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFING SYSTEM
The asphalt shingle roofing system is one of the most commonly used options for residential properties due to its functionality and adaptability to different roof structures. At A&J CONSTRUCTION LLC, we work with this type of system throughout Penobscot, Waldo, Knox, Kennebec and Cumberland counties in Maine, handling installations, replacements, and evaluations based on the condition of each property.
Asphalt shingles are part of a system made up of multiple layers that work together to protect the roof against weather conditions and maintain its performance over time.
What makes up this system?
- Asphalt shingles as the outer layer
- Underlayment for additional protection
- Roof ventilation system
- Sealing and fastening elements
- Components such as flashing in critical areas
Why use asphalt shingles?
This type of system is commonly used in residential properties due to its ability to adapt to different roof slopes and configurations.
It is typically used in situations such as:
- New roof installations
● Replacement of existing systems
● Exterior renovation projects
● Roofing material upgrades
System Installation
The process requires proper surface preparation and the correct placement of each component to ensure optimal performance.
Key aspects include:

We work with materials compatible with brands such as GAF and Owens Corning, adapting each installation to the specific conditions of the property.
