If I had to bet on which underlayment would drag across the finish line last, honestly, my money’s on the old-school 15# felt. I know folks still use ...

Yeah, that “we won’t know till we open it up” line is way too real. I thought I was just dealing with a couple missing shingles after last year’s wind...
