Custom Shingle Roof Replacement & Flashing | Radford, VA

Project Case Study: Doing It Right from the Foundation Up

‍When replacing a roof, what you can't see is just as important as what you can. On a complex, 11-facet roof, hiding structural issues beneath new shingles is a recipe for disaster. Recently, a homeowner on Vista Ridge in Radford, VA, hired our team for a full roof replacement on their house.

To guarantee the home would be protected for decades, our crews executed a complete tear-off, stripping the old shingles and underlayment down to a completely clean OSB deck. As you can see in the project photos, exposing the bare decking allows us to verify the structural integrity of the wood before we ever begin installing the new weatherproofing layers. This is the only way to build a truly reliable roofing system.‍

Custom Details & Premium Protection

This expansive project required 40 squares of material. We proposed our premium Cenguard Gold Roof Package, ensuring the homeowner received top-tier materials and a 25-year workmanship warranty.

The specifications for this custom installation included:

• Advanced Waterproofing: Once the deck was clean, we installed Cenguard Ice & Water Shield in all 80 feet of the roof's valleys, along the eaves, and around all penetrations. We then covered the remainder of the deck with heavy-duty synthetic underlayment.
• High-Performance Shingles: The homeowner selected Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Architectural Shingles in the stunning color Rustic Slate.
• Custom Weathervane Flashing: A standard contractor might struggle with unique roof features. This home featured a pipe with a weathervane mounted on it. To ensure it remained watertight without removing the feature, our team installed a specialized, custom split boot around the pipe. We also replaced the standard plumbing penetrations with lifetime boots.
• Optimized Airflow: To keep the attic breathing properly, we cut the roof peaks and installed 100 linear feet of continuous ridge vent.
• Clean & Safe Worksite: We made sure to tarp the perimeter of the roof to protect the home and landscaping during the messy tear-off process, and we hauled away all debris upon completion.
