It’s often said that the most basic element of personal security is that of having a roof over one’s head. And the standard roofing technology is the three tab asphalt shingle. Shingles give a roof its durability and water resistance. Not just from the material itself, but from the systematic way it is applied; typically in cascading layers that let the water roll off and keep snow and ice from working its way in. An essential and lucrative profession that’s always in high demand, students in Mr. Rowen’s Construction Technology class were learning about this standard shingling technique. Which, for the contractors of tomorrow, is a great place to start.
