Project Story

How We Got It Done

The Problem

What We Found

Before the project, the roof showed clear signs of age with curled shingles along the front slope, granule loss near the gutters, and worn flashing at the chimney and rear dormer. Inside, the homeowner had noticed a faint ceiling stain in an upstairs hallway and wanted to replace the roof before the next heavy rain season.

The Challenge

What Made It Tricky

The home had a steep front section and a tight dormer tie-in, which made the tear-off and flashing details more involved than a standard replacement. We also needed to protect the landscaping along the side yard while keeping the worksite accessible for daily use.

Our Solution

How We Solved It

Our crew completed a full tear-off down to the decking, replaced the soft boards we found near the rear slope, and installed ice-and-water shield at the eaves, valleys, and around the chimney. We followed with synthetic underlayment, GAF architectural shingles in Weathered Wood, matching ridge caps, and new flashing at all roof penetrations for a complete roofing system.

The Result

The Final Outcome

The finished roof has a clean, even appearance and a much stronger weather barrier than the old one. The new shingles and flashing tied the whole house together visually while also addressing the areas that had been causing concern.

Client Outcome

What the Client Said

The homeowner can now use the upstairs rooms without worrying about leaks or stained ceilings during storms. They also like that the house looks sharper from the street with the new roof in place.

The crew worked fast, kept the yard tidy, and the new roof looks great. We feel a lot better knowing the old problem spots were taken care of.
