This massive home was double-shingled which means that another roofer shingled over the original roof. While it is a method that is used in roofing it is far from ideal. Roofing over an existing roof never solves the problem. If the roof is leaking then adding another one just delays the leak for a few years and the rotting materials still have more time to rot. So when we arrived we got straight to work ripping both layers of shingles. Now that we were down to the decking layer we decided that it was necessary to replace multiple sheets of plywood due to the rot we were expecting. Once the decking layer was replaced and repaired we laid down Ice and Water along with an underlayment. These two layers act as another form of protection on the off chance the shingles were to ever fail. Finally, we installed the shingles this homeowner decided on our IKO Dynasty Castle Gray Shingles. Next on the list was the gutters, this process is fairly quick when a new roof is installed because we do not have to worry about rotted fascia. The specific gutters we installed were our 6K system which features slightly larger downspouts that will double the amount of water that can be moved off the house when compared to standard gutters. After these are installed we moved on to the siding. This customer decided on our Cedar Peaks Premium Blue Siding. This house is now fully equipped to handle any weather that gets thrown at it.
The original gutters on this house were rough shape, many were bent, leaking, or had an excessive amount of moss and lichen growing on them. Also due to the size of the house and amount of dormers, there were a lot of complicated gutter sections and downspouts. Like most things, the more complex the more likely something is to fail, so a lot of the smaller and more intricate gutters were in the worst shape. When considering the house's complex shape and design, both the homeowner and our team decided that the Gutter Shutter system was the best option. This system includes larger elbows and downspouts, even though these are only one inch larger in width and length they can move twice the amount of water. The gutters themselves are also designed to look invisible or like crown molding for your roof. These gutters also feature wide-mouth outlets that move water more efficiently than standard gutters. With the Gutter Shutter system, this homeowner can be 100% certain that every drop of water landing on their roof will be efficiently redirected keeping their home dry.
