This Cedar Crest home had serious hail damage from many storms over the years. Because of the extent of the damage, Goodrich Roofing was able to work with the home owner’s insurance company to cover the cost of a full re-roof. We also added effective seamless gutters to divert water from the roofing system. See how we completed this incredible roof replacement.
The Problem
When we first examined this roof, there were obvious signs of serious hail damage. For example, we saw many patches where the granules protecting the asphalt and fiberglass of the existing shingles were knocked off and metal features atop the roof showed dents. Additionally, the previous gutters were clogged with dry pine needles, drastically impacting drainage. Both of these problems can lead to serious issues for a homeowner without action.
Our Solution
The extent of the damage to this roof meant that the only viable solution was a complete shingle re-roof. Because the damage to the existing roof was so serious, the Goodrich Roofing sales team was able to work with the customer and their insurance company to get the cost of the roof replacement covered, drastically reducing costs for our client.
Our team began with the tear-off of the existing roof, cleaning off the deck beneath. We placed and secured synthetic underlayment, then placed the shingles on flat surfaces and on the ridges. Metal drip edge was added to the edges that would not be covered by gutters. Turtle vents were installed for ventilation. Next, we installed pipe jacks to seal penetrations around pipes and added flashing around the chimney. We painted all the roofing features to match. Finally, we installed 250 feet of 6″ seamless k-style gutters and added gutter guards to protect from buildup and simplify gutter cleaning.
Materials
Did you know that Goodrich Roofing is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor? For this job we used Owens Corning Duration shingles in Amber, Owens Corning RhinoRoof U20 Synthetic Underlayment, and Owens Corning WeatherLock Ice & Water Shield to enforce more sensitive areas like valleys, pipes, and vents. We used our own mobile gutter machine to create custom length seamless gutters, reducing gutter leaks and effectively redirecting water flow from the roofing system.
