Completed: July 2011

This roof is a great example of what happens when the attic is improperly ventilated. The home lacked any type of intake or exhaust ventilation (soffit or ridge ventilation), and as a result the plywood and shingles cooked under the hot sun, causing the shingles to degrade prematurely and the plywood to become extremely brittle. During the course of the installation, we had to remove every existing sheet of plywood and replace it with new 4 ply CDX plywood. We installed a Certainteed 5-Star Integrity Roof System including:

We will also be installing new Alside Charter Oak Soffit to complete the balanced attic ventilation system, capping all the fascia and rake trim with Alside Performance G8 aluminum trim coil, installing new gutters and downspouts, and installing Rain Flow Gutter Protection System to keep the gutters free of debris.
