Roof Underlayments to Shield Your Northern Virginia Home from Ice & Water

Underlayments are often overlooked components of roofing systems, yet they play a crucial role in ensuring the longevity and durability of your roof. At Sunshine Contracting, we understand the significance of underlayments in safeguarding your home against the elements, particularly in Northern Virginia’s diverse water and ice-heavy climate. When it comes to roofing replacements, we prioritize the installation of high-quality underlayments to provide an additional layer of protection between the roof’s wood structure and the shingles.

Roof Underlayments & So Much More

Our commitment to excellence is evident in our utilization of top-tier products such as the GAF Lifetime Roofing System. This comprehensive roofing system combines advanced technologies and innovative materials to deliver unmatched performance and longevity. As part of this system, our expert installers meticulously install underlayments to serve as a barrier against moisture infiltration, preventing potential damage to the roof deck and interior of your home.

In addition to underlayments, our GAF Weatherwatch Mineral-Surfaced Leak Barriers provide additional protection against precipitation in vulnerable areas such as around skylights and at eaves. These leak barriers serve to:

Protect your property and help prevent wind-driven rain from leaking through the roof deck, or melting ice and snow (caused by ice dams in harsh winter climates) from leaking into your property’s interior.
Add extra protection in valleys and at eave and rake edges—the most leak-prone areas of the roof—as well as other vulnerable spots on the roof, such as skylights, dormers, vent pipes, chimneys, and other flashing areas
Help avoid costly repairs by preventing staining and water damage on interior walls and ceilings caused by leaks

“Quality work and professional team. I looked around the Stafford area for someone that could replace two of my patio doors with quality doors and Sunshine exceeded my expectations, and trust me, I have very high expectations. Highly professional from start to finish. The gentleman that installed the doors was very meticulous and ensured every minuscule adjustment was perfect. I will use them again for any of my home's needs. Lastly, it is not easy to find quality contractors like Sunshine provides.”

“We were very happy that we chose Sunshine Contracting for our Hardie siding and gutter installation. Sunshine is one of the few James Hardie Elite Preferred contractors in the area, and they beat the other Elite Preferred installer by about 25 percent on their estimate. More importantly, Sunshine did an awesome job with the actual siding project, board and batten siding on a mid century modern Deck House.”
