Roofing
Marling Lumber stocks a wide variety of roofing shingles in an assortment of colors and styles to fit your project. In addition to standard asphalt lines, we can order metal roofing from a number of trusted companies in shake, shingle, or sheet formats. Beyond your main roofing shingles, we carry all the necessary roofing accessories to finish the job right, including gutters, soffits, soffit vents, metal edging, fascia, heavy-duty underlayment, fasteners, and sealants. We want to make your experience with Marling Lumber as simple as possible, so let our experienced sales representatives lend a hand on your next roofing project.
Whether you are looking for architectural or dimensional shingles, we can deliver all your roofing needs. If you are reroofing, it may also be the perfect time to add functional upgrades like skylights, solatubes, or roof windows. Marling carries a large selection of premium skylights and roof windows, including units featuring retractable blinds as well as convenient remote-controlled models.
Asphalt Shingles – Our yards supply traditional three-tab options alongside thick dimensional and architectural shingles to handle regional climate patterns. Contractors and property owners can choose from a broad palette of colors, with inventory options featuring long-term algae resistance warranties and specialized wind resistance ratings to shield homes from severe weather.
Metal Roofing Systems – For structural longevity, we coordinate specialized custom orders for metal configurations across multiple formats. Our sales staff can secure durable metal sheets, structural shakes, or metal shingles from reliable manufacturers, providing alternative profiles for properties that entail robust defense against snow accumulation and fire hazards.
Ventilation and Edge Protection – Beyond the main outer layers, we maintain deep stock on structural ventilation products and trim components. Our local warehouse locations supply gutters, fascia boards, soffits, and soffit vents designed to control attic temperatures, alongside heavy-duty underlayments, ice and water shields, edge flashing, and seasonal sealants to keep roof decks watertight.
Evaluating your home's pitch, wind exposure, and design goals dictates exactly what supplies your project requires. For a standard residential overhaul, architectural asphalt shingles provide an ideal blend of depth, heavy wind ratings, and cost-efficiency. If your property has low-pitch sections or valleys prone to severe winter ice dams, incorporating heavy underlayment and advanced self-adhering shields is crucial. If you want to introduce natural light into dark interior hallways, a full tear-off is the perfect time to add a solatube or a remote-controlled skylight.
Always calculate a waste allowance on top of your base square footage to cover ridge caps, hips, and valleys. Check local building codes regarding maximum shingle layers, as multiple older roof decks often require a full tear-off rather than a simple overlay. You also need to confirm that your property has clear overhead access, away from power lines or tree limbs, so our delivery trucks can safely hoist your material bundles directly onto the roof.
Marling Lumber stocks reliable and top-quality roofing products from top manufacturers to protect your property from the elements. We carry industry-leading roofing materials from GAF, TAMKO Building Products, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. These lines include both architectural and dimensional shingles, and we can deliver the materials right to your home and place them directly on your roof.
When it comes to home improvement, the color of your roof might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, it is a significant aspect that can influence both the aesthetic appeal and the functionality of your home. The right roof color can enhance your home's curb appeal, improve energy efficiency, and increase your property value.
If you think its time for a new roof – it probably is. Roofs last about 12 to 20 years, but environmental factors play a part in a roof’s longevity. Lots of sun, hail, and wind take their toll. If you are the second or third owner of a home, you may not be quite sure how long the roof has been on it and if it was installed properly. Remember, the time to get a new roof is before something drastic happens. The sales associates at Marling Lumber and HomeWorks can walk you through the maze of color and style options – and even talk to you about a metal roof if that’s what you are interested in. You can take home roofing samples and think about the colors you want – or get a list of addresses of homes that are roofed in colors and shingles that interest you.
Moss is a simple, non-vascular plant that doesn’t grow flowers, wood or true roots. While moss can be very beautiful in certain natural settings, it is very bad for your roof. Once moss takes ahold of your roof, it can cause structural damage, resulting in degradation. The moisture leads to mold and bacteria growth that slowly destroy your shingles, resulting in holes in the roof and leaks in your home. Moss is also very slippery, posing a threat to your safety when walking around on your roof. If you live in a damp, wooded area, your roof may be prone to moss growth. Here are some steps you can take to prevent or get rid of moss.
