What Are Asphalt Shingles?
Asphalt shingles are flat, overlapping rectangular tiles made from a fiberglass or organic mat base, coated with asphalt and embedded with mineral granules on the surface. The granules protect against UV rays, repel water, and give the shingles their distinctive textured finish.
There are two primary types available in the Kenyan market:
- 3-Tab Asphalt Shingles — The most economical option, lightweight and uniform in appearance. Ideal for budget-conscious residential projects.
- Architectural (Laminate) Shingles — Thicker, more dimensional, and significantly more durable. These are the premium choice for modern homes and commercial buildings seeking both performance and curb appeal.
Bestcare Facilities Management stocks and installs both types, advising clients on the most suitable option based on their budget, building structure, and location.
The Asphalt Shingle Roof Installation Process
Bestcare follows a structured, quality-controlled installation process to ensure every roof performs optimally over the long term.
1. Site Assessment and Measurement A roofing specialist visits your property to assess the existing structure, measure the roof area, evaluate ventilation requirements, and identify any structural issues that need addressing before installation begins.
2. Surface Preparation Old roofing materials are stripped where necessary, and the roof deck is inspected for rot, warping, or damage. A new roof deck or repairs are carried out before any shingles are laid.
3. Underlayment Installation A waterproof underlayment — typically felt or synthetic — is laid across the entire roof deck. This critical layer acts as a secondary moisture barrier, protecting the structure even if shingles are damaged by wind or impact.
4. Starter Strip and Shingle Laying Starter shingles are fixed along the eaves before the main shingles are installed row by row from the bottom up, with each row overlapping the one below. Nailing patterns follow manufacturer specifications to maximise wind resistance.
5. Ridge Capping and Flashing The ridge of the roof is sealed with ridge cap shingles, and metal flashing is installed around chimneys, vents, valleys, and walls where the roof meets vertical surfaces. This is where many inferior installers cut corners — Bestcare ensures every flashing joint is properly sealed.
6. Final Inspection and Clean-Up Once installation is complete, the team conducts a thorough inspection, removes all debris, and provides the client with a post-installation report and warranty documentation.
