Spring Roof Maintenance
Spring is the perfect time for homeowners to check the condition of their roofs and
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing choice for Windsor-Essex homeowners, combining excellent protection with aesthetic versatility and value. For over a century, Dayus Roofing has specialized in premium asphalt shingle installation, offering everything from traditional 3-tab options to advanced laminated systems and designer shingles that beautifully mimic slate, tile, and cedar shakes. Our extensive manufacturer certifications and four generations of installation expertise ensure your asphalt roof is installed with precision, adhering to both building code requirements and manufacturer recommendations for maximum performance and warranty protection.
Beyond just shingles, a truly effective and long-lasting roof requires several critical components working together. At Dayus Roofing, we recommend following all building code requirements and manufacturer guidelines to ensure maximum performance, protection, and warranty coverage for your new roofing system.
Shingles
From your basic laminate shingle to your luxury designer roof, there are a wide variety of Lifetime shingles to choose from.
Roof Deck Protection
Allows moisture to escape from your attic while providing an exceptionally strong layer of protection against wind-driven rain.
Leak Barriers
Provides exceptional protection against leaks caused by roof settling and extreme weather. Ideal upgrade at all vulnerable areas including at the eaves in the North.
Starter Strip Shingle
Saves time, eliminates waste, and reduces the risk of blow-off...and may even help qualify for upgraded wind warranty coverage.
Attic Ventilation
Helps remove excess heat and moisture from your attic that can raise your energy bills, cause premature peeling of interior paint and wallpaper, and even affect your health.
Ridge Cap Shingles
The perfect finishing touch to add beauty and value to your home—while guarding against leaks at the hips and ridges.
Select from an array of options—from practical laminate designs to luxurious architectural profiles—each engineered to provide beauty, protection, and lasting performance for your home.
This crucial underlayment creates a resilient secondary barrier against moisture while allowing your attic to breathe properly, significantly enhancing protection against wind-driven rain.
Essential waterproofing membranes that shield vulnerable roof areas from water infiltration, particularly at eaves, valleys, and flashings where leaks most commonly develop.
Purpose-designed starter courses that properly seal your roof's perimeter, preventing wind uplift and shingle blow-off while potentially qualifying your roof for enhanced warranty protection.
A properly balanced ventilation system that extends shingle life by reducing heat buildup, preventing moisture damage, lowering energy costs, and protecting your home's interior finishes.
Specially manufactured cap shingles that provide both elegant finishing touches and critical protection at your roof's most exposed and vulnerable peaks and ridge-lines.
When manufacturers use the term “Lifetime,” they specifically define it as coverage for as long as the original homeowner (or in some cases, the second owner) owns and lives in the home where the shingles are installed. This warranty typically transfers once to a second owner with reduced coverage, but does not apply indefinitely or to commercial structures, multi-family dwellings, or subsequent owners beyond the first transfer.
The revolutionary Lifetime Roofing System was pioneered by GAF in 2012, setting a new standard for long-term roofing protection. This innovation featured rigorous Extreme Shingle Testing to ensure exceptional durability and performance in the harshest conditions. Following GAF’s lead, other major manufacturers converted their 30-year warranty products to similar Lifetime systems, transforming industry standards.
Designer shingles dramatically enhance your home's curb appeal, replicating the sophisticated look of cedar shakes, slate, or tile at a fraction of the cost.
Most premium designer shingles include longer non-prorated warranty periods, offering more comprehensive protection during the critical early years of your roof's life.
The multi-layered construction of designer shingles provides superior wind resistance up to 130 mph and improved protection against severe weather conditions.
Designer shingles feature rich color blends with dramatic shadow lines that create depth and dimension unavailable with standard roofing products.
