This raised ranch home located in Moodus, CT had a roof well over 20 years old. This roof was in need of a full roof replacement and installation of a new roofing system. We stripped the existing roof and replaced any damaged plywood decking. Then, we laid down Ice & Water Shield to protect the interior of the home from any moisture. To follow the Ice & Water Shield we laid down ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment to add a second layer of moisture and water repellant. For shingles, we installed Owens Corning Duration TruDefinition Duration Shingles in the color Desert Tan. To finish this roofing system off, we put in ProEdge Hip & Ridge Shingles on all ridges and hips and replaced the existing vent pipe boot.
This roof in Marlborough, CT turned out beautifully. It was estimated that the old shingles were approximately sixteen years old, and were showing their age with dark algae streaks running across the asphalt. During construction, the multi-gabled structure had several edges that needed to be properly accounted for with flashing. The color blend of the new shingles perfectly complements this homes trim and siding color.
This ranch home in Marlborough, CT had a roof that was about 25 years old with excessive leaking around the skylights. We stripped the old shingles, to start fresh at the decking. All of our disposed of asphalt is brought to a facility to be processed into recycled road asphalt. After tear off, we installed a brown aluminum drip edge and three rows of Owens Corning Ice & Water shield, for an impermeable barrier against precipitation. The ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment is installed beneath the shingles, which is another layer of water repellant material. We replaced the skylights with Velux Skylights, and flashed them to prevent any future leaking. The finished roof is finished with Brownwood shingles, as part of a complete Owens Corning roofing system.
When we replaced the roof here in Marlborough, the owners also wanted better ventilation. We installed two attic fans to help remove the excess heat from the attic. This will reduce ice dams and cool the home in the Winter. The shingles were Owens Corning Duration Estate Gray.
This 1970's ranch-style home located in Marlborough, CT was in need of a new roof replacement. This home was equipped with old single tabbed shingles, which don't last as long as new architectural style shingles. We stripped the existing roof and laid down new plywood decking to support the structure of the home. We then laid down Ice & Water Shield and ProArmor Synthetic Underlayment to protect the home from any moisture from the outside elements. For new shingles we used, Owens Corning TruDefintion Duration Shingles in the color Driftwood. This home needed a new bathroom exhaust vent hood with a built-in damper which includes a new flex duct from the fan to the hood. The small chimney on this home also needed some new lead flashing to prevent any future leaks from entering the home.
