What makes up a shingle roof system
A typical shingle roof includes the roof deck, underlayment, edge details, flashing, shingles, ridge or other exhaust ventilation, and compatible intake ventilation. Valleys and penetrations require especially careful water-management details.
Cold-climate considerations
In a snowy climate, roof-edge and attic conditions can influence ice formation and water backup. Insulation, air sealing and ventilation can be related to winter roof behavior, although correcting those building-envelope issues may involve trades beyond roofing.

A small number of damaged shingles can sometimes be repaired. Widespread curling, cracking, granule loss, repeated blow-offs or multiple leak points may indicate broader aging. Matching older shingles can also be difficult when colors or product lines have changed.
Questions worth asking before installation
Ask what underlayment and flashing are planned, how ventilation will be handled, what happens if damaged decking is found, how penetrations are detailed, and what cleanup is included. Product warranty terms should be verified against the actual manufacturer documentation for the selected system.
