A Windermere home traded its wood shakes for Malarkey Vista shingles in Storm Grey, after we sheeted the whole roof with new decking.

What was under the shakes. Wood shake roofs are usually laid over spaced boards, with gaps between them. That works for shakes, but shingles need a solid deck.

The new roof. We installed Malarkey Vista shingles in Storm Grey, with new vents, gooseneck vents, plumbing stack flashings and drip edge.
