Synthetic Underlayment vs. Felt: Why It Matters

Synthetic underlayment vs. felt paper: why modern roofs use synthetic, and what Good Vibes Roofing installs under your shingles in Pearland and the Houston area.

Older roofs often used felt paper under the shingles. Today, many roofers use synthetic underlayment, which tends to be lighter, stronger, and more resistant to tearing and moisture. It also lies flatter, which helps shingles look and perform better.

On our replacements, Good Vibes Roofing uses manufacturer-approved GAF and TAMKO underlayment, along with leak barrier in valleys and around penetrations. It is part of building a roof system that stands up to Houston rain and wind.
