A secondary water barrier so that losing shingles does not mean losing the inside of your house.
In a serious wind event, shingles come off. That is expected. What determines whether you have a repair or a catastrophe is what is underneath them. A sealed roof deck creates a continuous water barrier over the decking itself, so wind-driven rain stays outside even after the surface layer is gone. It is the single most valuable element of the fortified standard.
Mobile and Baldwin County sit in one of the most demanding building environments in the country — hurricane exposure, relentless summer heat and UV, high humidity year-round, and salt air across the southern half of both counties. Work that would last decades somewhere inland gets tested hard here, which is why the details underneath matter as much as the finish on top.
Silver Construction has 25 years of experience with exactly these conditions, and we work only in these two counties. Call 251-622-3415 for a free estimate.

No. Standard felt is not sealed at the seams and is not a continuous barrier. A sealed deck is specifically designed to keep water out once the covering above it is gone.
