Completely replaced the roof on this house in Pewaukee. It wasn't leaking yet but was showing wear and tear. The homeowner wanted to stay on top of things before they had any problems because it was an older roof.
We replaced the old worn out gutter guards that were installed by a different company just a few years ago. The old ones were all plugged with tree debris and disintegrating, defeating the entire purpose of having them!
This roof of 23 years was showing its age. We stripped it all off and gave it a new look. The congregation was thrilled to see the new shingles and gutters installed by Sunday service!
In Delavan, WI, a homeowner is addressing storm damage to their roof, which has caused leaks in the front enclosed porch room with a wooden ceiling. The project involves a full roof replacement using IKO Dynasty AR shingles in the Brownstone color for the main house, shed, and detached garage. Additionally, the work will include installing new gutters on the main roof and shed, with no gutters for the detached garage. Raindrop gutter guards will be installed on the house only, and there is a potential plan to add them to the garage and shed.
The scope of the project also includes partial soffit and fascia repairs. Specifically, the existing aluminum soffit corners of the front dormer will be pushed back up, and there may be an aluminum wrap added to the fascia on the front lower level of the house. The chimney flashing will also be addressed due to its large size. The total area to be covered is 3,029 square feet. The homeowner has chosen a white drip edge to complement the new Brownstone roof.
Even though the typical lifespan of a roof can be up to 30 years, harsh weather conditions can speed that process up. In this case, there were old, decaying shingles, and even some fiberglass was showing on the edges of some shingles. If your shingle roof has a shine to it when hit by direct sunlight, it is likely the fiberglass backing is showing on the shingles. When the fiberglass backing begins to shine, it means a shingle is reaching the end of its life.
