 Prince
Frederick New Roof Job: three tab 25
year shingles are leaking and moss, lichens,
and falling debris have finally taken their
toll. We'll remove the two layers of
shingles and reroof with synthetic
underlayment and new Certainteed Lanndmark
shingles; color - Resawn Shake. |
Several
plywood issues were revealed as the old layers
of shingles were peeled from the plywood roof
deck. Here, all of this damage resulted
from ONE bad pipe collar. Three pieces
of 1/2" CDX plywood were needed to correct the
subroof. |
The opposite
side of the roof was no different; one leaky
pipe collar caused three sheets worth of
plywood replacement. Note the Berger UDL
Synthetic Underlayment at the bottom of this
section; it's a great back up to the roof we
will be installing here shortly. |
Here's the
old plywood. You're looking at the
section that faced the insulation in the
cathedral style ceiling. See the
mold? Yes, it's the black stuff in the
center of the 4 x 8 plywood sheet. Not
very healthy, is it? No problem, we're
replacing parts of the old roof deck with
"healthy" subroofing. |
Nice,
straight roofing lines always result when
chalk lines are "struck" prior to nailing the
Landmark Shingles. That resawn shake
color looks pretty nice, eh?
Kind of matches the rustic surroundings. |
This little
"bump out" dormer is a 2.5 in 12 slope; so
Certainteed WinterGuard "ice and water shield"
was used as the underlayment. Using this
material will eliminate ice dams in the winter
time, and protect against wind driven rain as
well. No more problems here . . . |
The Landmark
shingle by Certainteed has a very defined
color pattern that just looks great on this
house. |
The shingle
vent ridge vent system will help ventilate the
tricky cathedral areas of this home. We
could feel the heat rising out of the
insulation cavaties just as soon as we cut the
ventilation slot in the existing plywood. |
The ridge
vent system from end-to-end is nice and
straight and will add a "green" element to the
roofing system. Ridge vents are
considered green because they save energy
without the assistance of fueled sources; like
electricity required to power cooling fans . .
. |
Another view
from the top shows the ridge vent system,
brand new pipe collar, and the new vent fan
cover. Note that the "Gutter Helmet"
system was properly removed and replaced as we
moved throught the new roof installation
process. |
What's that
funny looking thing? It's a fancy
roofing magnet that picks up all of the nails
that you just can't see after a roof tear
off. Lots of nails hit the ground no
matter how hard we try to keep 'em on the
roof. It's unavoidable. |
Some of
these nails we picked up weren't from the
roofing job. Just another small added
bonus. |
Ahhhhh, it's
beautiful. Another double-layer roofing
tear off successfully reroofed using
Certainteed Landmark Shingles, synthetic
underlayment, and a new shingle vent ridge
vent system. |
