Challenge
In our line of work, we encounter many ‘cut up’ roofs that, while architecturally beautiful, can prove difficult to keep water tight. With multiple valleys, slopes, transitions & other details, water will find a way to intrude. When your roof has unique features such as the one featured here, it’s crucial to have an expert provide the work to ensure a job done right the first time.
Solution
Our homeowner asked his neighbors for a reputable contractor to get this tricky area sealed up. We were happy to oblige!
Project Summary
Repair Division Manager: Scott Darby
Installer: Martin Navarro
Installer: Angel Melendez
Material: Flintlastic – Modified Bitumen Flat Roofing
Material: Certainteed Landmark – Georgetown Gray
-
Work area showed moss & mold growth at stone veneer in this nook of the roof.
-
Existing flashing is removed as well as the shingles extending down the near slope.
-
All shingles removed from the valley area of this Richmond, Kentucky home.
-
Stone veneer, heavily damaged by the deterioration, is removed.
-
A self-adhering membrane system is installed in the valley, offering a tight seal in a problematic area.
-
Color of the flat material is matched closely to the existing shingles, allowing a more aesthetic option.
-
Vinyl siding replaces the worn stone veneer. In a small area, this change to a more lasting material will prove almost unnoticeable. The flashing & water tight products used will prove an immediate change – no more leaks!
-
Copper flashing & new shingles down the near slope cap off the seamless repair in Richmond.
