Roof Before Replacement - Front View
The original roof on Jonathan's Oxford home shows the appearance of an aging roofing system nearing the end of its service life. Our team is preparing to replace the existing shingles and give this Colonial-style home a refreshed exterior.
Existing Roof and Skylights - Rear View
A view from the rear of the home reveals dark streaking across the older shingles and two existing skylights scheduled for replacement. The upcoming installation will address both the roofing materials and skylights as part of a complete exterior improvement.
Granule Loss and Skylight Deterioration
A closer inspection reveals noticeable granule loss on the existing asphalt shingles, along with lichen growth around one of the skylights. These visible signs of aging highlight the importance of evaluating the roof's condition before replacement.
Beginning the Roof Tear-Off
Our crew begins removing the existing roofing materials while large protective tarps are positioned around the home. These tarps help collect falling debris and protect the surrounding property throughout the tear-off process.
Inspecting the Roof Decking
With the old shingles removed, our crew inspects the exposed roof decking for deterioration and other visible damage. Compromised sections, including the area shown here, are removed to prepare for the new roofing system.
Replacing Damaged Decking with CDX Plywood
The deteriorated decking is replaced with a new section of CDX plywood to provide a solid foundation for the roofing materials. Proper decking preparation is an important step in creating a secure and reliable roof installation.
Taping Seams and Installing Ice and Water Shield
Our crew tapes the seams between decking panels and installs ice and water shield in vulnerable roof areas. These protective materials help reduce the risk of moisture intrusion beneath the finished shingles.
Installing VELORA ONE Synthetic Underlayment
VELORA ONE synthetic underlayment is installed over the remaining exposed roof decking, providing an additional protective layer beneath the shingles. This underlayment helps protect the roof assembly against moisture during the installation process and serves as a secondary water-shedding barrier beneath the finished roof.
Installing IKO Dynasty Summit Gray Shingles
New IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in Summit Gray are installed across the roof, giving the home a clean, updated appearance. The gray shingles complement the dark blue siding and crisp white trim for a timeless exterior color combination.
New VELUX Skylights and Chimney Flashing
Two new VELUX skylights are installed to replace the aging units, while updated flashing is installed around the chimney. These details help protect roof penetrations and transitions while maintaining the home's existing natural light.
Completed Roof Replacement - Rear View
The completed rear roof showcases the new IKO Dynasty shingles in Summit Gray, along with two freshly installed VELUX skylights. The finished installation gives the back of Jonathan's home a consistent, refreshed appearance.
Completed Roof Replacement - Front View
The finished roof provides Jonathan's Oxford Colonial with a beautiful exterior update, featuring IKO Dynasty architectural shingles in Summit Gray. The new roofing system pairs beautifully with the home's dark blue siding and white accents, completing the transformation.
