What is an asphalt shingle?
Both fiber glass and organic based shingles are asphalt shingles although because organic shingles were developed before fiber glass shingles, the term"asphalt shingles" is often used to reference organic shingles only.

What is the benefit of having vents on my roof?Proper ventilation on your roof is crucial, it prevents moisture build up which can cause the wood underneath to rot or cause mold. In general one vent is needed every 300 square feet, however one whirly bird vent can effectively replace up to five vents.

How will I know my skylight wont leak?When properly installed a Skylight will never leak. We use a high grade ice and water shield around the perimeter of the skylight as well as metal flashings to lead the water away from the skylight. We fit them tight into the framing and insulate them to prevent moisture build up. Our installation is backed by a 10 year guarantee on workmanship.

Do Eavestroughs need to be serviced?Yes, it is important to thoroughly clean your eaves-troughs at regular intervals to ensure water and waste flow properly down from the roof. Without regular maintenance, rust and rotting can occur and be costly. Be sure to quote with McLean roofing at what intervals your eaves-troughs should be cleaned.
