Precision Flashing & Shingle Replacement on South Fork Ct | Fredericksburg, VA

Project Story

‍For this homeowner on South Fork Court in Fredericksburg, the goal was a complete roof update that addressed not just the surface wear, but the critical transition points. The homeowner requested a full replacement and specifically needed attention to the areas where the roof meets the walls and chimney, often the first places to leak on an aging system.‍Our Fredericksburg team executed a "house-only" scope that prioritized these technical details. We stripped the roof down to the deck, rebuilt the flashing systems, and installed a premium architectural shingle that refreshed the home's entire aesthetic.‍

Key Upgrades & Materials

‍We focused on rebuilding the roof's "joints"—the flashing and transitions—to ensure long-term performance.‍The project specifications included:

• Architectural Shingles: We installed Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Architectural Shingles in Williamsburg Gray. This classic color choice offers deep contrast and pairs beautifully with varied siding styles.

• Flashing Overhaul: We didn't re-use old metal. We installed over 50 feet of new Step Flashing and Counter/Skirt Flashing to create a watertight seal at every wall intersection and around the chimney.

• Leak Prevention: We installed Cenguard Ice & Water Shield in the valleys and eaves, along with Lifetime Plumbing Boots to seal the pipe penetrations for the life of the roof.

• Ventilation: We updated the exhaust system with Cenguard Ridge Vents along the peaks to promote healthy attic airflow.

The Importance of Flashing

‍Shingles shed water, but flashing keeps it out of your walls. The "where house meets" areas mentioned in the project notes are the most vulnerable parts of any roof. By stripping these areas down and installing fresh aluminum step and counter flashing, we ensured that wind-driven rain won't find its way behind the siding or chimney brick.‍

Is your roof leaking at the walls?

‍If you see water stains on your ceiling near a wall or chimney, your flashing has likely failed. Don't wait for the drywall to crumble—let us rebuild the seal.Get A Free Roofing Estimate
