Shingle Roofing You Can Count On
When it comes to protecting your home, few components matter as much as the roof overhead. At M&A Contracting, we specialize in shingle roofing installations, replacements, and repairs that stand the test of time. With 18 years in business, we have built our reputation on quality craftsmanship and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. Whether you need a complete roof replacement after storm damage or a new installation on a freshly built home, our team delivers results that homeowners across Buffalo, NY and surrounding areas trust and depend on.
Shingle roofing remains the most popular roofing material in the United States, covering approximately 80 percent of all residential properties. The reasons are clear. Asphalt shingles offer an outstanding balance of durability, aesthetic versatility, and value that other materials struggle to match. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we install some of the highest-rated shingle products available on the market today, giving our customers access to premium materials backed by industry-leading warranties.
Our Shingle Roofing Process
Every shingle roofing project we take on follows a meticulous process designed to ensure lasting performance. It starts with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure. We examine the decking for signs of rot or damage, assess ventilation systems, and evaluate the overall condition of underlayment and flashing. This detailed assessment allows us to identify potential issues before a single shingle is placed, preventing costly surprises down the road.
Once the inspection is complete, we walk you through our findings and present a clear plan of action. We give fair prices for our customers and will help finance if we need to, because we believe a quality roof should be accessible to every homeowner. The owner is on site at every job, personally overseeing the work from start to finish. This hands-on approach ensures that every detail meets our exacting standards. We look over all our work carefully because we understand that a roofing system is only as strong as its weakest point.
Installation Steps
Our installation methodology follows industry best practices and manufacturer specifications. The key phases of a typical shingle roofing project include the following:
- Tear-off and deck preparation — We remove all existing roofing materials down to the deck, inspect the wood sheathing for damage, and replace any compromised sections to create a solid foundation
- Underlayment and ice-and-water shield application — Synthetic underlayment is rolled across the entire deck surface, with ice-and-water shield applied along eaves, valleys, and other vulnerable areas to prevent moisture infiltration
- Drip edge and flashing installation — Metal drip edges are secured along the roof perimeter while step flashing and counter flashing are installed around chimneys, walls, and penetrations
- Shingle installation and ridge cap completion — Starter strips are placed along eaves before field shingles are installed in overlapping courses, followed by ridge cap shingles that provide a finished appearance and enhanced wind resistance
- Final inspection and cleanup — We conduct a comprehensive walkthrough of the completed roof and use magnetic sweepers to collect any stray nails from the property
Types of Shingles We Install
Not all shingles are created equal, and choosing the right product depends on your home’s architectural style, your budget, and your long-term goals. We install a variety of shingle types to accommodate different needs. Three-tab shingles offer a clean, uniform look and remain a solid choice for budget-conscious homeowners. Architectural shingles, also known as dimensional or laminate shingles, feature a layered construction that creates depth and shadow lines, closely mimicking the appearance of natural slate or cedar shake. These shingles typically carry warranties ranging from 30 years to lifetime coverage.
For homeowners seeking maximum durability and curb appeal, premium designer shingles provide the ultimate combination of performance and aesthetics. These products offer enhanced impact resistance, superior wind ratings often exceeding 130 miles per hour, and distinctive profiles that dramatically elevate a home’s exterior appearance. We help homeowners in Amherst, Eggertsville, Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Williamsville, Kenmore, & Depew, NY select the ideal product for their specific situation, taking into account local weather patterns and architectural considerations.
Why Integrity Matters in Roofing
The roofing industry unfortunately has its share of contractors who cut corners. We have integrity, and that principle guides every decision we make. We never recommend unnecessary work, we use only manufacturer-approved materials and techniques, and we stand behind our installations long after the job is done. Our focus on quality and customer satisfaction has sustained our business for nearly two decades.
- Honest assessments that accurately reflect your roof’s condition
