This home's roof was 17 years old and was in need of replacement. The homeowner also wanted new gutters because the old ones were directly dripping onto the roof causing a leak.
The first step to this roof replacement is ripping up the old shingles and inspecting the decking layer below. Luckily for this homeowner, their plywood decking was in good shape and did not need to be replaced. The next thing that we did was install the underlayments. First was our Sealeron Ice and Water which is installed around all the eaves, chimneys, walls, and around any penetrations in the roof. Next, we installed deck tape on all of the seams created by the plywood and metals. Finally, we laid down our synthetic felt over any of the uncovered surfaces where there is exposed plywood.
Now that this is done we can install the shingles and flashings. This homeowner decided on our IKO Dynasty Granite Black Shingles. This shingle made the home pop extremely well and added immense value to the home. When installing the shingles we always start at the bottom edge of the roof and work our way up layering the shingles. We do this so water drains off the roof as efficiently as possible. As we work our way up we flash around any openings in the roof with the corresponding material. Once we reach the top of the roof we cap it off with our own Shingle Vent 2 and caps shingle.
This beautiful new roof gave this home a refreshing new look that totally transformed the home. The next day we installed brand new Gutter Shutter gutters on the home to ensure that the entire system works as efficient as possible.
This homeowner called us out to their home because they had an active leak in their roof. Their roof was around 15-20 years old and there was noticeable algae streaking and color fading all over.
The first step to any roof replacement is the stripping of the shingles and underlayments down to the decking layer. With the decking layer exposed, we inspected every inch and made sure that each piece of plywood was usable. Unfortunately, we did have to replace 4 sheets of plywood due to rot. Next, we installed our underlayments. This layer consists of our Sealeron Ice and Water, Our Sealeron Deck Tape, and our Velora One Synthetic Felt. These three materials create a waterproof yet breathable seal around the whole roof.
The shingles were next to go up and when installing shingles we always start at the bottom corner of the roof to ensure the shingles are staggered and laid properly. This is important because if done incorrectly water will not run off the roof efficiently. By the end of the day, this home had a total makeover and this brand-new roof is guaranteed to protect this family for the next 50 years!
