Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Thirty-pound felt is a dependable, code-recognized underlayment choice for pitched shingle roofs and a good backup layer in storms. Keep rolls dry and flat before installation, and do not leave felt exposed to weather longer than the shingle manufacturer allows. On low slopes or in high-wind regions, check whether the shingle system calls for a synthetic underlayment or double-felt coverage instead.
Felt underlayment is slippery, especially when wet or dusty; wear soft-soled shoes with good grip, use roof anchors on steep slopes, and keep the deck surface clean while working.
