Project Case Study: The Value of Repeat Business

In the roofing industry, the highest compliment a company can receive is repeat business. We recently received a call from a long-time customer who trusts Cenvar to handle a roof replacement for their properties every single year. For this specific project, they needed a full replacement on a sprawling, single-story brick home.

While this specific project was completed for a loyal customer at our Lynchburg, VA location, it serves as a perfect showcase of the highly customized, multi-phase estimating our State College, PA team is equipped to deliver.

Custom Requests: Phased Pricing & Exact Matching

When dealing with large properties or investment portfolios, homeowners often have highly specific needs. For this evaluation, the homeowner had two distinct requests: first, the new shingles had to perfectly match the aesthetic of the existing dark roof; second, they needed the two additions on the back of the house priced out separately.

Whether a homeowner wants to phase a project for budget reasons or just needs detailed line-item reporting for property management, our State College team accommodates complex estimating requests with total transparency and precision.

Navigating a Complex, Multi-Facet Roof

Using advanced aerial measurements, we mapped the entire property to provide an exact breakdown of the materials and labor required.

Our inspection and measurement process revealed the true scope of the project:

  • Expansive Surface Area: The roof consisted of 13 distinct facets, 185 feet of ridges, and 165 feet of valleys, totaling a massive 53.6 squares of measured surface area.
  • Fair, Tiered Labor Pricing: While much of the roof was a walkable 6/12 pitch, our labor quote separated the 32 squares of standard walkable roof from the 21.6 squares of steeper, more difficult pitches to ensure accurate, fair pricing across the different sections of the home.
  • Aesthetic Matching: To perfectly match the home's existing roof, we specified Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Architectural Shingles in the color Onyx Black. We even specified black aluminum drip edge to ensure a flawless visual blend along the eaves and rakes.

Premium Upgrades: Solar-Powered Skylights

For a project of this magnitude, the total estimate came to $28,916.37. A significant portion of this investment went toward high-end system upgrades to modernize the home's interior lighting and ventilation.

Alongside 7 rolls of Cenguard Ice & Water Shield and 47 sections of Ridge Vent, the proposal featured a major technological upgrade:

  • Velux Solar Blinds Skylights: We quoted the installation of two brand new, top-of-the-line Velux skylights. These premium units feature remote-controlled, solar-powered room darkening blinds, completely transforming the lighting control inside the home.‍
