On this tudor style home in Glastonbury, CT we encountered a steep, twenty nine year old roof with several leaks. After tear off, we replaced the rotted plywood panels and rafters. The entire shed Dormer deck was then covered with a protective layer of Ice & Water shield. This project was unique in how we removed and replaced all of the chimney flashing with copper instead of lead. We also installed copper flashing in the dormer valleys above the garage. The shingles you see here are Owens Corning Tru Def Duration Brownwood.
It can be very taxing deciding whether or not your home needs a roof repair or replacement. During an estimate, fingers are crossed that a minor repair will resolve the exterior issue. Yet quick fixes often turn into big problems down the road, where you'll find the added cost of interior work. Water penetration and ice dams don't just ruin gutters and shingles - they compromise your home's very framing as well as wiring and woodwork. This Glastonbury, CT home had ice dams and leaking from multiple areas. The total roof replacement means the homeowner won't have to worry about their roof for years to come. With the 50 Year Platinum Protection Warranty from Owens Corning, you'll have both total assurance and insurance.
There was a good amount of leaking coming in from the weathered flashing of this contemporary style Glastonbury, CT home. The first part we tackled was two layers of tear off, followed by replacing a large amount of plywood decking. The shingles we installed carry a 50-year Lifetime Warranty, so you don't have to be concerned during high winds or rainstorms. The three installed skylights, from Velux, are made from laminated glass that is 'clean, safe and quiet,' so the home stays comfortable and dry inside. We ensured these skylights were sealed in their framing, and ran Ice & Water Shield around all roof penetrations, including the vent boots and chimney.
This was another 'Roof Your Neighborhood' project in the town of Glastonbury, CT. When homeowners in the same community invest in their roof at the same time, we can offer a sizable discount on materials, as we are able to buy them in bulk. The first part of the process entailed removing and recycling one layer of old shingles. This was followed by inspecting and replacing all deteriorated plywood, so that we could safely install an underlayment membrane for added moisture protection. The finished shingles here are Slatestone Gray.
Here was one roof replacement of many in Glastonbury, CT, which was also a part of our 'Roof Your Neighborhood' initiative. We save money when buying materials in bulk, and can pass those savings on to homeowners when communities opt to roof their homes together. This project entailed a full strip and re-shingle, and all of the old shingles were recycled for asphalt road paving. New chimney flashing, purpose-made starter shingles, and Ice & Water Shield were all included as part of a full Owens Corning Roofing System.
