 The Mooney's New Roof: Approx. 32 squares of new Lifetime CertainTeed Landmark Architectural Shingles with upgrades ... Color: Charcoal Black |
 On March 2, 2018 a huge windstorm blew through Montgomery County Maryland causing heavy damage to many of "builder's grade" roofs in the Hoover Farm Subdivision. |
  We arrived immediately to temporarily tarp the damaged roofs and help
our customers get things under control... before more bad weather could come through and cause
even MORE problems. |
 The
Mooney's shed was damaged too ... about 2 squares of roofing. |
 |
 The crane arrives
with the new shingles on board ... |
 Approximately 9,000 lbs. worth of materials are loaded on the
rooftop.
|
 |
 Our upgrades meet and exceed all new Building Codes and add extra protection to the more critical areas of the roof that are often overlooked. |
 For instance, we custom make 6" Aluminum drip edge that's installed at all gutter edges. It's 5 inches wider than "store bought" drip edge, so it offers about 5x more protection. The extra surface area gives the "ice and water barrrier" more bonding area and creates a much tighter seal. What does this mean? I haven't seen
any other roofing contractor do anything like this; in fact, many contractors don't use any drip
edge at all!
Oh, and by the way, "upgrades" does NOT mean
"higher price." With us, it's all about the extra value we pack into every
single new roof. |

 |
 Chimney flashings are always replaced with new
custom aluminum, then sealed with polyurethane sealant ... so that chimneys will never leak at the
roof line again! |
 All old metal ridge vents are replaced with new Shingle Vent II "shingle over" type ridge vents. The New Shingle Vent II System naturally circulates more air through the attic, and will also:
In this case we were also able to increase the
"slot area" (above) to increase air circulation as well. Win/Win. More air moved and
more of the benefits. |
 |
 |
 Finally, pipes, fan covers, and heater exhaust are all painted with Rustoleum Brand Paint for aesthetics and longevity ... No more rusty pipes or rusting heat
exhausts! |

 A view of the Mooney's from the roof of a neighbor that we re-roofed as well. Notice the "shingle over" ridge vents at the peak? Beautiful! |
 ...and the shed? Well, it got the professional treatment as well. |
 Plywood was replaced where needed, just like on the main house (except it's 1/2" CDX here, OSB was on the house). |
 ...and all the other fancy stuff was included as well. Synthetic underlay is shown here and helps protect against those "one in every ten years" wind driven rainstorms that can push water under 130 mph rated shingles ... |
 Beautiful! Charcoal Black (like the main house). Dresses up that old shed quite a bit! Now, a word from the client: |

all.)
