It was April, but there was still snow on the ground in Columbia, CT. This homeowner wanted a company that could get the job done in one day, so as to avoid any issues with weather. Along with the new roof, we installed a solar powered Fresh Air Deck Velux skylight system with remote, that closes automatically at the first sign of rain. They are perfect for contemporary homes with cathedral ceilings like this one. The OC True Def Duration Brownwood color looks great on this country property.
On this home in Columbia, CT we used Shasta White shingles from the Owens Corning Duration Color series. Owens Corning roofing system have 'smart vent' technology, and for this project we also installed a remote controlled Solar Fan. Additionally, Klaus Larsen installed 5” Aluminum Seamless Gutters & Down Spouts. These types of gutters are built in one piece, specifically to inhibit any leaks from cracks or seams.
This Columbia, CT home had some leaking coming from the rear section of the roof. For this project we began with new plywood, followed by a layer of ProArmorShield Synthetic Underlayment, and finished with a layer of Duration shingles. The 'after' photo was taken on an afternoon with 40+ mph winds, and these shingles aren't budging a bit.
This was a Cape style house with an additional two-car garage. The roof was 18 years old, with two layers that were removed and carefully disposed of. In addition to installing ventilation within the roof, we also added a ridge vent to the garage. The finished shingles are Pacific Wave, and as always, are ensured by an Owens Corning Life Time Warranty.
The roof here was 20 years old, and was starting to get some leaking into the house. We are glad this roof was replaced when it was, so no further damage could take place. As an extra protective barrier against moisture, we applied Ice & Water Shield between the trim and window. The shingles used were Onyx Black, which look outstanding on this Columbia, CT Cape.
