The roof replacement project in Meridian was initiated to prepare a property for a successful real estate listing. While the roof appeared stable at a distance, a professional inspection revealed several critical issues that required a comprehensive solution to ensure long-term durability. The inspection uncovered "nail pops" where fasteners were pushing through the old shingles, creating immediate risks for water infiltration. Additionally, the roof suffered from deteriorated pipe flashing, cracked and torn shingles in multiple locations, and physical damage on the East side likely caused by previous foot traffic from other home repairs.

To address these issues effectively, we executed a full tear-off of the existing roof down to the deck. This complex project included the professional coordination of removing and reinstalling 10 solar panels to ensure a seamless installation. We utilized a high-performance system featuring ice and water shields over eaves and valleys, paired with synthetic felt for a superior moisture barrier. During the process, we inspected the roof deck for rot and replaced compromised OSB sheets to ensure a solid foundation. All vulnerable penetrations were secured with new pipe boots, drip edges, and durable roof vents. We also addressed a common maintenance flaw by trimming siding that sat directly on the shingles, which prevents algae buildup and ensures proper water shed.

While our team often recommends Malarkey products for their high-performance features, we want to ensure our clients have various options and price points they are comfortable with. For this specific project, we installed GAF Natural Shadow (Class 3) shingles, which significantly enhanced the home’s resilience and market value. This proactive approach not only cleared the path for a successful real estate listing but also provided future homeowners with total peace of mind. The result is a high-integrity roofing system that is fully optimized for the elements and ready to protect the structure for years to come.
