5 roof underlayments that keep roofs leak free and customers happy

By Marco Industries. 

Understand the value of underlayments and why it’s vital to overdeliver on this essential roofing component. 

Your reputation and your client’s peace of mind are two vital things you want to protect with any project you take on. You can do this by ensuring that you fortify the integrity of their roof with the highest standard of roofing underlayment. While many don’t think about the underlayment because it’s applied underneath the shingles or metal, it is an added layer of protection to the home or building it’s installed on.  

We at Marco Industries uphold the highest quality in manufacturing for underlayment solutions. Underlayment is crucial to maintaining the integrity of a roofing system by helping to prevent leaks and protect the roof's foundation from damage. This is why our team at Marco never compromise on quality in the manufacturing of our products.
