The Right Roofing Products and Roofing Supplies Make The Difference.
Because the roof is a major structural component of a home, several things must be considered when selecting roofing products and roofing supplies. Shingles may come to mind first, but there are many options. Key points to consider include style and color, performance requirements, warranty protection and of course, roofing planning guides. Select the style and color that best complement a home’s exterior features (siding, trim, brick, paint, etc.) below or at your local Carter Lumber.
Damaged flashing or other signs of wear around chimneys, pipes and vents
Excessive granules in gutters or downspouts
Moss and algae that can cause rot
Spots on interior ceilings and walls in the attic and house
Before you start a roofing project, consider the following:
Do you want to remove the old shingles or install new ones over the existing shingles?
Do you need to add a layer of insulation to the attic to help reduce heat loss? The Department of Energy recommends an R-value of R-49 for attic ceilings.
Make sure the roof is adequately ventilated to remove heat and moisture.
Consider replacing gutters, downspouts, vents and flashing.
Remove tree limbs that might cause moss, algae and excessive moisture to form.
Check the local zoning ordinances and apply for a permit, if necessary.

Mineral Surfaced Roll Roofing.
Because mineral-surfaced rolled roofing material is constructed of a hardworking Fiberglas® mat, it lasts longer than shingles do. Unlike shingles, rolled roofing material lies flat, to better protect against weather and help resist moisture. Able to fit the style of just about any building project, it’s available in a wide range of popular colors from your complete roofing supplier, Carter Lumber.

Whether you have shingles for roofing, steel roofing or any other type, vents are important for the proper ventilation of attics. A well-ventilated attic has under-eave or soffit vents, which allow fresh air into the attic. The fresh air flows up between rafters to the ridge, where the roof vent system allows the air to exit.
Skylights can add beauty to a home, and also the modern designs from Carter Lumber are energy efficient. Skylights with proper installation will eliminate issues with leaks and provide greater energy efficiency.
