The project

The first call. Our first visit was an emergency call-out. Two of our exterior trades attended and tarped the damaged sections of the roof to keep water out while the full replacement was planned.

Getting materials up. For a three-storey building with guests on site, a crane lifted the shingles straight from the flatbeds onto the roof, keeping the parking lot and entrances clear.

The new roof. We stripped the old shingles, inspected the decking and repaired it where needed, then installed Owens Corning WeatherLock ice and water membrane at the eaves, open metal valleys over Ice & Water Shield, Owens Corning Roofnado synthetic underlayment over the whole deck, Owens Corning starter, TruDefinition Duration shingles fastened with six nails each, and matching hip and ridge.

Ventilation and flashings. The roof also got 20 new intake vents, new exhaust fans and 13 new plumbing vent flashings, and the whole system is registered under an Owens Corning Preferred Protection warranty.

Still the call. When the inn later needed stucco repaired at its entrance canopy, they called us again.
