Estimating a Cenguard Gold Roof Replacement on a 1962 Danville Brick Home

When a homeowner in Danville, VA reached out to our team for a free estimate, we walked into a project that's a great example of the kind of full-property planning many longtime homeowners eventually face. The home is a 1962 brick rancher with all 23 original wood windows still in place — and now, more than 60 years on, both the roof and the windows are due for an honest look.

We've put together a roof replacement proposal for this home, and the project is currently in the homeowner's hands as they weigh next steps. Here's a look at what the scope includes, why we made the recommendations we did, and how a project like this comes together when scoping work on an older Danville home.

The Property: A 1962 Danville Brick Home with All-Original Windows

This is the kind of property our Danville roofing team sees often: a well-built brick home from the early 1960s, owner-occupied for decades, with the original construction details still largely intact. The home isn't in a designated historical district, which gives the homeowner full flexibility on materials and design — but the bones of the property still call for thoughtful product choices.

The roof is a 3-facet design with a 6/12 pitch, totaling 14.88 squares once the 1.10 waste factor is applied. There are 42 linear feet of ridges (all vented), 76 linear feet of rakes, and 84 linear feet of eaves to account for. Two plumbing boots and one 4" Broan vent round out the penetrations.

The Scope We Proposed: Cenguard Gold Roof Replacement

The recommendation we put forward is our Cenguard Gold package — a full tear-off down to a clean deck with the following specs included:

• Tear-off of the existing shingles and disposal of all debris
• TAMKO Titan XT architectural shingles installed across the 14.88-square roof field
• White metal drip edge installed on all eaves and up the rakes
• Ice and water shield at all bottom edges (3 feet up), valleys, pitch changes, flashed areas, and around all penetrations
• Synthetic underlayment across all other deck areas
• Product-specific starter strips at eaves and rakes
• All vent boots and air vents replaced — with lifetime plumbing boots included
• Counter and step flashing replaced as needed
• Ridge vent installed across all 42 linear feet of vented ridge
• Product-specific ridge caps and a thorough magnetic-sweep cleanup

The Cenguard Gold package comes with a 25-year warranty covering both workmanship and material defects, transferable upon home ownership change within 5 years of completion. For a 1962 home with original construction, that warranty depth gives the homeowner long-term peace of mind without stepping all the way up to a Lifetime Platinum upgrade.

Proposed investment: $7,896.

Why We're Recommending TAMKO Titan XT Architectural Shingles

For this project, we proposed TAMKO Titan XT architectural shingles — a 50-year-rated shingle with strong wind ratings and a clean, dimensional look that pairs well with brick exteriors.

Architectural shingles like Titan XT give a 1962 brick home a more textured, layered appearance than basic 3-tab shingles, which helps the home feel updated without departing from its mid-century character. The 50-year material rating also outlasts the workmanship warranty on the Gold package, meaning the shingles themselves will continue holding up well past Cenvar's coverage window.

The Bigger Picture: Considering Windows Too

This appointment was actually booked through our Lead Center as a combined roof and windows visit. The home still has 23 original wood windows from 1962, and after six decades of weather exposure, replacement is a reasonable conversation to have alongside the roof discussion.

While the roofing scope is what we've quoted in this particular proposal, our window replacement team handles projects exactly like this — older brick homes with original wood frames where energy efficiency, weather sealing, and operability have all degraded over time. If the homeowner moves forward with both projects, sequencing them well (typically roof first, then windows) keeps the work clean and predictable.
