Felt: Organic or paper-based rolled material saturated with asphalt to serve as roofing underlayment.

Flashing: Materials used to waterproof a roof around any projections through the roof deck.

Counter-flashing: The metal or siding material that is installed over roof-top based flashing systems.

Step flashing: Metal flashing pieces installed at side-walls and chimneys for weather-proofing.

Gable Roof: Traditional roof style; two peaked roof planes meeting at a ridge line of equal size.

Ice and Water Barrier: Self adhesive underlayment used in lower pitch areas and areas prone to ice damming and large concentrations of water.

Ice Damming: When snow melts and re-freezes at the eave areas. Ice dams force water to back-up and can cause leakage.
