The roof replacement project was initiated due to several critical issues identified during an inspection. Although the roof was in decent shape for its age, it was clear that it was nearing the end of its life, necessitating a comprehensive solution to ensure long-term durability and protection. The inspection revealed several problems, including exposed nails at almost all roof penetrations, which posed a risk for water infiltration and potential leaks. Additionally, the roof had undergone multiple repairs due to wind-blown shingles, indicating ongoing vulnerabilities. Several plastic roof vents were found to be cracked, suggesting the possibility of active leaks, while broken or missing shingles increased the risk of water damage to the underlying structure.

To address these issues effectively, we opted for a Class 4, 30-year shingle replacement, which provided a robust solution with several advantages. Class 4 shingles are designed to withstand severe weather conditions, significantly reducing the likelihood of future damage. During the replacement process, all exposed nails were properly sealed with high-quality sealant, eliminating the risk of water infiltration at these vulnerable points. Additionally, all cracked and damaged plastic roof vents were replaced with new, durable options, and the installation of new shingles not only improved the aesthetic appeal of the roof but also ensured that there were no broken or missing shingles, thereby enhancing the overall integrity of the roofing system.

By addressing the identified issues with a Class 4, 30-year shingle replacement, we were able to significantly enhance the roof's resilience and longevity. This proactive approach not only mitigated current problems but also provided peace of mind for years to come, ensuring that the building remains protected from the elements.
