Full Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement on a Multi-Section Home

Most homeowners don't think about their roof until something goes wrong. A leak shows up. A storm tears something loose. By that point, you're dealing with damage that goes well beyond just the shingles - rotted decking, wet insulation, the whole thing. That's exactly the kind of situation a timely replacement heads off before it starts.

Here's what we were working with on this one. The existing shingles were past their useful life, and the decking underneath needed attention too. When we stripped everything back, you can see areas where new plywood was laid in alongside the existing deck - that's not an unusual find on a roof that's been sitting too long. We don't cut corners and cover over problem areas. We fix what needs fixing before the new material goes down.

Once the deck was clean and solid, we got the underlayment down and started laying the new dark charcoal asphalt shingles. This is a multi-section roof with some tight angles and valleys, which means the layout and overlap work has to be precise. Sloppy shingle work at a valley or hip is exactly where you end up with leaks down the road. Getting it right the first time is the whole point.

What you end up with is a roof that's built properly from the deck up - not just a fresh layer of shingles over an old problem. New asphalt shingles done right will give you decades of reliable protection, and they're one of the most cost-effective roofing options available for residential homes. If your shingles are curling, granules are coming off in the gutters, or the roof is just getting up there in age, it's worth having someone take a look before winter weather makes the decision for you.
