This home had many issues with it's roof, some were primarily cosmetic and others were compromising. Due to this, we needed to replace the roof right away and we started with the demo.
Ripping the old shingles off was first, we needed to see what condition the decking layer was in and how much of it needed replacing. Surprisingly this roof's decking layer was in excellent condition and we only needed to replace one small section of it. Next, we started on the sealing layer where we laid down 3 separate materials to create a breathable yet water-tight seal on the home. First, we use strip tape over all the seams made by the plywood and along any other edge or seam. Next is our Sealeron Ice and Water, which is laid down on the roof most vulnerable areas like valleys and lower edges. Finally, a synthetic underlayment is laid down over the remaining uncovered decking layer.
Now we can move on to the last step which is installing the flashings and shingles. The flashings are installed in vulnerable openings in your roof like chimneys and skylights. The shingles need to be installed in such a way as to ensure that they do not have any compromising gaps between the pieces. To accomplish this we always start at the bottommost corner of a roof and work our way up and across layering and nailing each shingle.
By the end of the day this roof was completed and the homeowner was ecstatic about their brand-new roof that looked absolutely stunning.
For this home, we were replacing only the uppermost gutters. The original gutters were not performing the way they were supposed to and they needed to be replaced. The lower gutters saw less rain due to the smaller roof sections they were attached to so they were still in good condition because of this the homeowner opted to only replace the sections that needed it.
For the sections that we were replacing we used Gutter Shutter for the gutter and endcaps, but we also used wide mouths at the downspouts to ensure that more water can be directed off the roof and that there will be no overflow in a serious rainstorm.
This job was short and sweet and the homeowner was happy knowing that their new gutters would keep their home safe and dry for many years to come.
The Brown Roofing team installed a new gutter system, and a Raindrop gutter guard for this customer. This home is now better prepared to face the elements. While this new gutter system handles water flow, the Raindrop gutter guard will prevent pesky debris from getting in the way.
