"We had a similar experience with unexpected weather: a sudden downpour hit before the shingles went on, and the synthetic underlayment didn't budge or wrinkle at all."
That's reassuring to hear. I'm a first-time homeowner, and honestly, roofing decisions have been stressing me out a bit. Felt always seemed like the default choice—probably because it's what my dad always used—but your experience makes synthetic sound pretty appealing. Did you notice any difference in noise levels during heavy rain? I've heard mixed things about synthetic being louder or quieter compared to felt. Also, how was the installation process overall? I'm planning to DIY some smaller projects around the house, but roofing feels intimidating...maybe synthetic would make it easier? Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience—it helps to hear real-world stories rather than just marketing materials.
- Didn't notice any real difference in noise levels, honestly.
- Synthetic was easier to handle—lighter, less tearing.
- DIY-friendly for sure, just watch some vids first and take your time...you'll be fine.
