Before: Structural Damage and Ventilation Issues
The existing roof was in poor condition, with improper ventilation causing moisture buildup in the attic. This led to significant rot, with approximately 500 square feet of decking compromised. The old gable vents and ridge vents were ineffective, failing to provide proper intake and exhaust airflow. Visible signs of deterioration and the aging shingles underscored the urgent need for a comprehensive roof replacement.
During: Repairing and Upgrading for Longevity
The project began with the removal of the old roofing materials, exposing the extent of the damage to the decking. Our team replaced 500 square feet of rotten decking to restore structural integrity. The outdated gable vents were closed off, and "smart eave ventilation" was installed to create a balanced airflow system. Finally, a new shingle-over ridge vent was added to ensure proper exhaust ventilation, laying the foundation for a durable and efficient roofing system.
After: A Strong, Properly Ventilated Roof
The completed project features a fully repaired roof with new shingles and an upgraded ventilation system. The smart eave ventilation and shingle-over ridge vent work together to maintain proper airflow, preventing future moisture issues. The home's roof not only looks revitalized but is now structurally sound and built to last, providing peace of mind for the homeowner.
