Asphalt shingles remain the most popular residential roofing material in MT for good reason. Architectural shingles — also called dimensional or laminated shingles — provide a thicker, textured profile that mimics wood shake or slate. Reed Point Roofing & Maintenance installs asphalt shingle roofing throughout Reed Point, from three-tab to premium designer shingles.
The difference between a 15-year roof and a 30-year roof isn't the shingle — it's the installation. Proper nail placement in the manufacturer's nailing zone, correct overlap between courses, ice-and-water shield at all vulnerable areas, and flashing that's sealed at every transition. Reed Point Roofing & Maintenance follows the exact specs that keep the manufacturer warranty valid.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Consultation & Inspection
Our estimator examines your current roofline, checks the condition of the underlayment and flashing, and presents shingle options with honest pricing. GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed — you pick.
Old Roof Removal
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 Courses
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.

Why Choose Reed Point Roofing & Maintenance for Shingle Roofing?
Full Tear-Off Standard
We strip to the deck on every shingle job. No overlay shortcuts. Your underlayment, ice-and-water shield, and flashing are installed on a clean, inspected roof deck.
Nailed to Manufacturer Spec
Every shingle nailed in the designated nailing zone with the correct number of fasteners. This is what keeps the manufacturer warranty valid and the shingles on your roof in high wind.
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.
Ice-and-Water Shield Standard
Every shingle roof includes ice-and-water shield at valleys, eaves, and around penetrations. This self-adhering membrane is the last line of defense against water intrusion if a shingle fails.
